If you’re looking to channel your inner vintage without resorting to old pieces from yesteryears that often require minor altering and major cleaning, here’s a little homegrown e-store that will give you more than one reason to wear their pieces.
Cheekily named Cat In A Bowl, this online fashion boutique tailors their very own vintage inspired pieces that are wearable, colorful and nothing short of fun! Surfing through site is a joy itself with its clean, organized layout and cutesy, detailed descriptions for each piece.
Cat’s pieces are identified as Cat’s Creations on the site and their popular pieces quickly go out of stock. These include ditsy floral print skirts, rockabilly swing dresses and crop tops. Here are our favourite pieces to kick off the coming spring season!
Zener (RM62) is a vintage inspired babydoll cut dress with pleated, puffy short sleeves and a hard to miss self tie bow at the front.
Crochet Collar Dress (RM57) is a button down demure camel coloured dress with puffy sleeves that skims just above your knee. Oh did we mention it has the cutest crochet collar!
First Love (RM65) is what this adorable toga dress is called and that’s exactly what it was for us! A simple monotone one-shoulder top with a English styled floral pleated skirt. We love the heart shaped buttons on the shoulder strap, perfect for dinner dates where you want to make that first impression last and last.
If you’re looking for that one accessory that can change any outfit, this would be it: the detachable peterpan collar. Cat has two versions: a simple polka print design (RM15) and another luxurious bejewelled version (RM45). Like a magpie, we’re attracted to the one that gleams more.
Well we’re pretty sure your mother has warned you about wearing tops that don’t hide your belly but you know the rule to avoid looking skanky: if its a short top, it’s a long bottom and vice versa. Cat has a variety of crop tops that are reminiscent of those worn by pin-up girls back in the days.
A Fine Day for Sailing (RM45)
Button Crop Top (RM49)
Well, we all know who this piece was named after. Zooey in The Sun (RM60)is a sweet lil’ dress with a contrasting white round peter pan collar and buttoned cuff sleeves. This dress comes in three colors, baby pink, pastel purple and navy blue. Now available in purple only.
I’m A Wicked Child (RM56) is nothing like its name suggests. This is a piece every girl growing up should have had and if you didn’t here’s a version for the grown up you!
Give a touch of vintage to any of your existing modern pieces like the tank top or work blouse by matching them with one of these Vintage Floral Printed Skirts (RM42).
Of course there are many other pieces on Cat In A Bowl that will tickle your fancy and heartstrings as it did ours. With the rainy season bowing itself out next month its time to welcome the sun and show off those legs with Cat’s summery frocks.
