Hi Friends…I have a confession. When I find something I like I kind of get obsessed with it. I guess it is true to say when I love something I love it alllllll the way.
This is what happened with my deep attraction to Catherine Ogust printed dresses. I stumbled on a Catherine Ogust dress on Etsy while perusing for neon and I put it in my favorites contemplated and then decided, “YES THIS HAS TO BE MINE” only to see poof it was gone! Heart crushing sadness and then a hunt! And then the find!!!
Right, it’s not the original neon Catherine Ogust that I had I hearted on Etsy, but I fell in love with the pastels and so I snagged it off ebay from Crush Vintage. This one was not getting away from me!
Even though these Catherine Ogust dresses are from the 80’s I found the prints really modern looking and I totally knew they would hit the right note for me.
I have never been one for pastels, they always struck me as too sweet. But because of the geometric Ogust pattern I fell in love with the fresh colored pastels.

I belted the dress because truthfully I have some alterations I want to do…namely taking up the hem. But I couldn’t help but wear it on Easter Sunday for my family’s big Easter bash. Now I think I might even like it better belted! Oh the possibilities….
Confession!!! I bought two Catherin Ogust dresses (ashamed face!), seriously I just loved the prints so much that I went and bought this guy from Etsy shop Quirk Vintage Clothing.
More confessions…I changed to flats on Easter because I knew that egg hunting in kitten heels was not going to be a good situation.
Girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do :).
Type in Catherine Ogust in Etsy or in ebay and you are bound to find loads of her fun patterns.
Oooooo, so pretty friend!! Thanks for giving me something else to crave on Etsy, lol

Very cute. I have never heard of her before but this makes me want to check her out.
Also, that silver-haired lady’s hair. Amazing.

oh em gee…i agree. the silver hair is excellent.
Very pretty! I’m trying to find pastels that aren’t too sweet as well. I like the combo of modern blocked print and pastel colors.
