keeping kozy [in a kitschy kat kap]

muffy
(Outfit details: 1960s faux fur coat; 1950s children's cap and muff set; 1950s dress; Steston boots)

For those that don't know, my hometown is a small village in Vermont (population 700, soooo cosmopolitan) and go to school in a large town in Vermont. The point is, it is cold, cold, cold, wherever I am, and very snowy too. So although March may be around the corner, Spring's a long way off; we are being hit by [yet another] major blizzard as I write this, actually.

So I guess what I'm trying to say is that my purchase of this 1950s rabbit-fur, cat-faced cap-and-muff set was totally justifiable.

It was only $10.00 for the pair, so I am not ashamed. And yes, I did wear them both together while walking around campus today. I will probably do the same tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day, until I have firmly established myself as my school's token crazy-cat-lady-in-training. I was thinking [hoping] the cowboy boots might negate the ridiculousness of my furry friends; or perhaps they make me look even more insane? Oh well; I gave up trying to look normal years and years ago ;)

  2. How cute! I love the entire outfit!
    I know what it's like to live up north, after being in Maine five winters. I'm still in shock that flowers are already popping up here in Tn.

  7. Um, that cat set is FANTASTIC. There is no shame in having bought it/worn it around campus. I own a black fur muff but haven't used it as it's rather unpractical on Chicago public transportation.
