WIW: Sir Mix-a-Lot aka UWPreppy

Happy today because I finally got down below the 130lb mark after a while of only seeing increases on the scale (battling metabolism as well as holiday chub... yes, still).

Anyway, the happy mood translated to 3 mixed patterns (cat, dalmatian, and stripes) and 2 mixed metals (gold and silver). Featuring the famous half-tuck, Angie-rec. BR gold button cardi, 80%20 booties, Hudson jeans, and a (gasp!) "Chanel" belt I got for $2 at Salvation Army... I know it's bad, but I don't think anyone is looking at my belly that closely, and I love the large mixed metal buckle. Half tuck also helps obscure it. o_0

TGIF!

Oh wow I love the pattern mixing

Rae, I LOVE this blouse! I have been looking for a cat print for ages. I can find pretty much every other animal on the ark - ponies, unicorns, birds, dogs, even pig prints, but no cats :0(

This outfit looks great on you, even thought I'm not a fan of majorly mixed prints, this is subtle and classy
Congrats on the weight loss too - although you certainly don't look as if you needed to.

Jilly

Love this look, Rae! Especially love the cat print belt, and dalmation booties. Congrats on getting below 130. I am currently bouncing between 127 and 132, and tryin to stay below 130. Good for you!

Jilly

Forgot to add, I really like that purse! Can you tell me where you got it?

You skinny little thang! You look great, and I lurve those boots with the light sweater YUM! And the pinstripe on the jeans is so much fun! The cat print blouse takes center stage here with the other prints supporting it. What an awesomely fun Friday outfit!

Yay - I'm glad it's not print overload for you guys!

Mrs Moo, I know! I ordered this one from China... have you seen the cat top at Old Navy?

Jilly, the bag is a B. Makowsky "Rebel Crossbody." I got it a few years back, but it may still be floating around on Amazon or Ebay or such. I really love their leathers.

Trust me when I say that a large part of my weight maintenance is motivated by the fact that I don't want to have to replace my favorite jeans. I mean, health and all that, too, but I am attached to my jeans. lol

Cute! Cats and dogs really *can* get along!

(I admit I'm disappointed to hear that the blouse is a cat print - I thought it was a dinosaur!)

Mrs Moo

Thanks heaps for the link Rae :0)

Looks like they don't have it on the EU version of the site but I think the US one still delivers to Europe. I might have to check it out! My cat will be thrilled at my show of species solidarity!

Looks lovely together! I love the subtlelty of the pattern mixing and the adorable booties. How tall are you? Those pants make your legs look soooo long! Great sweater too.

You look great Rae, I like how you've got winter white going on. (Or is it ever winter in S. CA?) The boots and pants look so cool together.

And I couldn't resist this picture, proving that cats and dogs can find true love. (These are my sister's pets, they hang out together and always sleep together.)

You are a like a ringmaster at the circus, Rae, keeping the show going splendidly, making sure all the animals playtogether nicely! This works really well. I, too love the striped jeans!

Gah, MM, I'm sorry I'd forgotten you are not in the States! I hope they can ship to you...

Meredith, I am 5'4", so a long leg line is music to my ears.

Angie, I'm glad you approve - I posted the K/R while you were away at Fashion Week, so I was a wee bit afraid I'd missed a fit issue with the cardigan.

Denise - I'm swooning over those furbabies! They match and everything, and the Meezer has the sweetest face!

Una, I did not see your foxy top until today! I was very pleased to see you in a similar top, too... even though between that post and Anna's emerald jacket post, I'm kinda obsessed with green jackets now.

Ginny, those shoes make me giddy inside whenever I wear them - hard to believe I almost sent them back!

OH MY LORD, I LOVE THOSE BOOTS!!!!! COVETING BOOTS!
I love this outfit, Rae. For me the mix of pattern/texture is divine and you look super long and slim, whatever you think.

Wow, love the cat/dog mix! This whole outfit is so fun and fresh! I love that cat top!

I love the pattern mix and the cat blouse. I'm so late to the party but I think I'm developing a "thing" for these type of prints.
I just bought this blouse ( and wore it immediately). I can see a preference emerging:
