Oranges, reds, yellows, greens, black, wine, and even shades of pink are just some of the gorgeous autumnal colors nature creates for us to enjoy. This post is all about sharing some of these standout colors that I like to call eye candy because they evoke a pop of sweet joy when I wear them and see them.

A black dress can certainly be appropriate for Fall especially when it has a print as beautiful as this one with orangey-reds and turquoise blue-green. This dress is the Trixie Midnight Lily Swing Dress from Collectif Clothing in the UK. The dress is made from high quality cotton sateen and has a lovely sweetheart neckline and fitted waist for the 1940s-1950s bombshell look I love. The sleeves are ¾ and perfect for Fall time here in San Francisco.

My feline friendly outfit is another Fall favorite of mine. I love novelty prints and the border print on this skirt has the most adorable kitty cats. The skirt started off as a dress that ended up being too small and wouldn’t go over my chest so I had a seamstress convert it into a skirt for me and now I can wear it often. I like the green color of the skirt and paired it here with a bright orange sweater, leopard print purse and dark brown cardigan and I feel like I am wearing several autumnal colors in one outfit!!

1950s Boarder Print Kitty Cat Skirt

I know so many of my blog followers can’t resist a cute novelty print and you all know by now I can’t either so I wanted to share the most adorable kitty cat boarder print I was lucky to get my hands on from Dangerfield Clothing. You might remember Dangerfield Clothing from an early post I did that featured the cutest Poodle boarder print skirt.

Dangerfield Clothing is an Australian clothing company and has a fabulous retro/vintage line ‘Revival’. They have brilliant vintage style 1950s novelty prints so if you love novelty prints you’ll want to keep an eye on this brand. Shipping from Australia to USA has been around 1 week so fast shipping they do; for reference I am in California and within a week have my items.

The skirt I am featuring today is Dangerfield’s ‘Pawsitive’ dress. Yes, it started out as a dress!! It was a sleeveless, fit and flare dress with a pleated skirt made of cotton- pictured here. I ordered my standard Australian size of 18 to fit my voluptuous upper half but when it arrived it was a no-go. I wasn’t surprised…. a bit saddened but not surprised. I find their tops, cardigans and dresses run incredibly small and most do not have any stretch so it was no surprise the top half of the dress would not fit over my curvaceous upper half.

This was my first dress I had converted into a skirt. Since the main reason I purchased the dress was because of the kitty cat boarder print, a skirt would be perfect. I took it to a seamstress and what an easy fix, problem solved, I now had the most fabulous skirt!! Turquoise is my favorite color and the skirt features balls of yarn and the bows on the kitties in the color turquoise so I paired the skirt with my Heart of Haute top and a turquoise blue Petticoat by Malco Modes. We shot these pics against a mid-century modern cabinet filled with cats…. if you look closely there are Holt Howard kitty cats and the blue Norcrest cat too, even a El Gato Gomez cat painting and sculpture in the pics. Keep an eye on Dangerfield Clothing for some more fabulous novelty prints.
