Cat Lovers Unite!

Sometimes you just have to buy an item, not because it is fashionable or flattering, but because it is awesome. This 'The Entire Cat Population Is My Best Friend' sweatshirt from The Ballet Cats is one of those things. Unfortunately, sweatshirts are totally 'it' this season, so apart from awesome this sweater is fashionable as well. I came across it a while ago via Pinterest, but alas, it was out of stock then :-( Luckily, I was smart enough to subscribe to the Ballet Cats' newsletter, because a few weeks ago I got a notification that the sweater was back in stock and I snapped it up! 

The Ballet Cats is an Indonesian company established in 2008 to "preserve the tradition of the feline loving business". Well, I can't object to that ;-) 

Not a cat lover? No problem at all! Since 1 April the Ballet Cats offers a 'Dog Population' sweater as well (plus a whole bunch of other garments!

The sweater is made of 100% cotton and available in sizes S, M and L. Because it is a unisex piece and the size chart on their website is about as limited as it gets, I wasn't quite sure about which size I needed. Luckily Petty from The Ballet Cats gave me some helpful advise and I decided to order a Medium (I'm a US 8/10). It fits well, but in hindsight the Small would have also been great. 

How do you feel about the new 'dressy sweatshirt' trend? During the Tour Down Under, Kate was seen wearing a dressy sweatshirt when watching a rugby match during the Royal Couple's night off (although obviously without the statement on the front! :-P), so sweatshirts might become all the rage within minutes! 

And btw: isn't my new sweatshirt totally awesome?! :D
