I know that I’m about to make some enemies on the internet but…I’m not really a cat person. I think they are adorable….in photos. Or on dresses. But I’m a dog person through and through. I lived with a cat once (he belonged to my college roommate, it’s not like we were romantically involved) and here is the thing about cats: the more you don’t like them, the more they like you. I’d come home and he’d be up in my bed with this look like ‘oh hello, Kendi. I’ve been here all day, spreading my allergy infested hair all over your stuff. You’re welcome.’ But for some reason, I like cat dresses. I have zero dog dresses but this is number two in the cat collection. I plan to leave all of my cat dresses to my niece. Two cat dresses her aunt found twenty years prior on sale at Anthro? She doesn’t know how lucky she is.

I am the same way sue to allergies which is why I LOVED my husband's cat at his parent's house. He was anti-social so he gave me my space. After a few years we got to the point where we could be within 5 feet of each other but no closer. Perfection.
I am definitely a dog person too! Just got my first pup actually. I love that cat dress though. Maybe its just that cats look better on clothes. ha

Not a cat person but I think this outfit is incredibly cute! Honestly, I might get the jacket. Too cute and great price! Thanks for the inspiration! 🙂
Allergies do make it hard to like certain animals! I'm a little bit weird in that I'm SUPER allergic to cats but I love them anyway. And I love this dress!

Fabulous boots and dress! You look lovely!

haha I hate cats too. They make my face explode into sneezing fits and my eyes puff shut and anytime I am at someone's house who has cats, they flock to me. I probably shouldn't say that on the internet though since everyone knows that cats are the overlords of the internet. Cute dress though!

V cute! I must be the only one who sees skulls instead of cats! Too much halloween on the brain! 😉
u look great!
Gorgeous. Love this entire look, and great booties too!
I'm with ya, girl. I'm definitely a dog person. But that cat dress is WAY cute. Definite rockstar status!
Love dogs, hate cats. Couldn't agree more. Love the booties!

How am I more and more in love with each outfit I see of yours?!? Adore this and your booties so much! Chic and just a hint of edgy 🙂

I usually preface my love cats with that they are the perfect animal for someone with lazier tendencies. For me an animal that can be just as content lounging around the house all day with me is perfect. Plus their love of naps is just too spot on!
Love this jacket, you look so fab.

That's ok. I don't like dogs. We cancel each other out.
Kendi,
That dress is SO CUTE!! I have a styling question. I am a knitter and I really love this cat sweater: http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/katebellando/126217742/cat_vneck_front_medium2.jpg
I hope you can see it from the link. I really want to knit it, but I keep thinking about "What Not To Wear" and how Stacy and Clinton scold people for certain character sweaters. Not that I need their approval, but I do not want to be a fashion victim. What do you think of this sweater?
LOVE your leather jacket! The boots are gorgeous too.

You are STUNNING… haha, sorry for all the caps but I wanted to get my point across! 😉 Honestly though, your outfits are just flawless. I love that you gave this dress a more edgy look with the booties & jacket too!!

Weird coincidence. This dress was featured on one of the witches on last night's episode of American Horror Story. You wore it better though. 🙂
Dogs are way better. My college roommates cat really wanted to hang out in my bedroom. I'd find him sitting outside my bedroom door everything day! 🙂 This dress is totally adorable though 🙂

You're not the only one – I thought the same thing when I saw it on Instagram:)
I've got to be honest. It took me the longest time to see the cat in this pattern, I kept thinking its skulls isn't it? Doesn't say much for my eyes now does it! But I love the look!
and I know what you mean about cats going to those who arn't too fond of them. My parents cat will always sit in front of my partner or follow him around when hes terribly allergic.
Cats these days huh? xx
Oh thank heavens. I thought the same! x
Love your blog! The jacket is perfect. The info says to order a size up. Do you agree?
That is the weirdest, coolest version of a cat print I've seen yet.
Cute! I'm loving the dress and leather jacket trend. 🙂
Great jacket! You look lovely~

Although I always love your more "uniform" outfit posts w/ the skinny jeans and blazers, I love a good mix up like today's! You look so cute and peppy! And I'm both a cat person and a dog person – as long as they want to cuddle with me, I'm down!

I can hardly even tell those are cats! Love the jacket and booties.
I am ALL about the cats. I have two of my own and I honestly can't picture myself with any other kind of pet. I briefly considered getting a dog a couple of years ago and my friends looked at me strangely when I told them this. I quickly came to my senses about this. Some people are just cat people. I am definitely a cat person.
You always find the BEST dresses at anthropologie!
I like the print of your dress, it's kind of hypnotizing.

This is AMAZING. I love everything about this outfit – your ponytail is particularly striking my fancy! It looks fabulous. Also – I'm obsessed with cats (if my husband hadn't found me, I'd definitely be a crazy cat lady at this point… scratch that, I still am), but also obsessed with dogs. All animals are the best!
My eyes were definitely playing tricks on me! I could not for the life of me figure out how in the world those were cats on your dress. I went to Anthro and had to zoom in to figure it out. They looked like funny shaped little ghost/goblin faces until I figured out I was mostly focusing on the back/tail of the cat. Ha… sometimes I think I should have been blonde!!
I am TOTALLY a dog person too but the print is so abstract you would NEVER know it was a cat, secrets safe with me 😉

I thought the same thing!! They almost look like little ghost faces.
Cats rule, dogs drool!!! I still like you though. But only because your ponytail is so sassy.

I am EXACTLY the same. I am a total dog person, but I have a pile of cat related clothing.

Oh my gosh that is so true. xD all of my friends who are allergic to cats are absolutely LOVED by cats.
I saw that dress today at Anthro… but I'm just not a cat fan. 🙁 I'm slightly allergic and ALL the cats I come across with won't leave me alone! Talk about torture with itchy eyes!!
LOVE the style of the dress! Looks great on you!
Very cute dress! I love cats!

New reader, and I'm already in love with your blog! It drew me in immediately, and your personality shines through so clearly in every aspect. You're lovely, and have amazing style! Two thumbs up 🙂
I love the boots!!!
OH yep, Corinne, she kills it everyday. Love the dress. Hate cats.
First, I LOVE THOSE BOOTS. Holy smokes, do I love them. They're gorgeous. Also, I am not a cat person at all. Not even really in photos. Cat instagrams get scrolled over really quickly. But I do like them on dresses! This one is super cute!
um, yep, you made a bit of an enemy. i adore all animals – cat and dog person. also you'd come to love your own kitty. other people's animals – they're always irritating. you also become less allergic as you acclimate.
super cute dress anyhow, enemy or no
kw Ladies in Navy
I'm with you they are so cute in pictures but I don't really like them in real life, I'm such a dog person. Your dress is the cutest example of it! Love how the leather jacket and booties make it a bit edgier! ps. love the high pony tail look on you!
Cee. ♥

The only cat I like is my kitten, and sometimes even she's too much cat for me. haha I love the mix of the tough leather jacket with this feminine cat dress though! So classic!

me too – but skulls and cats – win-win!
Love this cat dress! At least the ones on dresses are tolerable 🙂 I am a cat person but I don't blame people that don't like them… they can have interesting personalities! I have to say though, I love your hair up in this post!

I don't even like cat prints. I'll look at them on the internet. That's as far as I'll go.

I think you would make far more enemies if you said you weren't a dog person! I don't trust anyone who doesn't like dogs 🙂 This outfit is killer! Love the lady-like cut of the dress with the rock-n-roll jacket and boots.
love this look all over! http://comedomenica.blogspot.com/
Love this dress, nice dress.

very soon
you are so spot on about the cat thing. they can sense how much you don't want them near you and do the exact opposite – this made me laugh 🙂
I wish I could look as cute as you everyday! Girl you know your fashion. Love it.

It is a very cute cat dress! I'm a dog person too and I'd wear it! Although saying that, the only animal printed piece I have is a cute little dachshund printed top 🙂

Kendi,
I love that you don't care about all of those cat fans on the internet.. I don't either 😉 I'm a total dog person. My husband and I will be out somewhere and if we see a dog we are always like, "ohhhhh awwwwwww, so darling" and talking to it or petting it. We aren't even that bad with babies but dogs just have a special place in my heart. From one dog lover to another, your cat dress is fab, and that is exactly where cats belong… on a dress 😉

Lucky niece. You look great, love the entire outfit. And I'm not a cat person either or a dog person, I'm more of maybe a fish person lol.
i saw little panda bear faces in the dress before i could make out the cats. cute either way!
love your blog!
LOL. I thought it was a panda dress. I am a cat and dog person. I never thought I'd be a cat person till I got my own kitten and raised her.

Lol I just took photos this weekend in a neighborhood spot that's ALWAYS full of cats for some reason. Little fella just came to my feet and started snuggling, photo bombing my shoe close-ups. Not the first time it's happened there either. But this one had like a strange face rash.. Poor thing. I would've rescued it if I lived alone! My dog would've thrown a fit.
And lol at the leaving your anthro stuff to your niece comment. She really is one lucky gal!
Lol! You're so funny! Super cute outfit!
Nice answers in replace of the question with real point of view and explaining about that.is bubblegum casting legitimate
