FashionHap: Catch-ups: Cathy, Pt. 1

If you love Cathy's fashion (oo oo my hand's up! :)), you are in for a treat! We have a boatload of it to review for you, so buckle up, Lovelies!
We kick it off with this easy breezy texturally-contrasting combo that pairs a knit (and ever so slightly cropped) top with a leather mini. It's a classic Cathy match-up that would have been TV-appropriate with strappy ankle booties or pointy heels. Instead, though, Cathy chose to play up the sporty side of the look and finish it with sneakers. I love this take on the athleisure trend - it's polished without being fussy.
 We don't get to see her shoe choice for this LBD (little blue dress), but there's a lot to love all the same! The firlty pleats, the adorable and trendy off-shoulder silhouette and especially the COLOR! An intense electric blue like this always catches my attention. Not only is it a  mesmerizing color, but it's one that looks wonderful with nearly every skin tone, including on Cathy's! We've seen her use sneakers to dress down a look, but they would be a smidgeon too informal with this dress. I'd love to see hr give a pair of flats a try though!
Also on the list of colors I adore is this snappy coral shade Cathy uses in her next outfit. She pairs it with staple black (note: I love it paired with beige, also), but she keeps the look fresh by choosing shorts with fabulous lace detailing - so pretty! It brings out the femininity of the coral and makes this pairing much more interesting! Cathy keeps the rest of look chill with simple, straight hair and a coordinating lip shade.
I'm loving this graphic tee and leather A-line skirt match-up too! Can Cathy do no wrong? :) The zipper accents on the skirt enhance the urban-hipster vibe of her tee. She dresses up the look nicely with pointy pumps. I could also see strappy ankle booties here. The only aspect of this styling I'm kind of meh about is her hair - this particular version of the pieced-hair-as-a-headband look just isn't as flattering on her as some other styles of seen. Oh well. I'll live :)
It's hard to beat a lace dress for gorgeousness and this one is a classic, stunning rendition. A piece like this will be in style literally until the end of time. I'm a huge fan of the way the hem follows the pattern of the ace instead of being cut straight  - it's so delicate and beautiful! Cathy wears the bright scarlet shade with confidence - I'm pretty sure there isn't a s single color I've seen her be unable to pull off. It's the classic standby black pointy pump for the finish.

She then throws us a fun style change-up, going rocker for her next outfit. A graphic tee starts the look, paired with high-waisted skinny jeans. A studded leather statement jacket injects some serious attitude. Cathy ends the look with one of my favorite tricks - accentuating a color from above via her shoes. These red strappy sandals have plenty of panache and they complete the look with decisiveness. I'm a total sucker for a rock-tinged vibe like this, so I l.o.v.e this outfit madly...and would 100% wear it.
I'm equally on board for her next choice. There's that stunning shade of blue again! I'm beginning to wonder if it's a favorite of hers. She takes on the thigh-high slit trend in a way that, although going pretty far up, manages not to be trashy, due to the sedate nature of the rest of the dress. The slit stands out more because it is the major statement of the piece, along with that crave-worthy color. Cathy jazzes it up by completing the styling with the red sandals from her previous outfit, employing another style philosophy I absolutely adore and use often!
Stick around, Cathanatics - there's more of her fashion ahead :)
