One of the reasons I was outside the other day was to try on some dresses for my trip to Houston on Thursday for the Cat Writers Conference and the cat show that will be in the same hotel. This dress is one I won’t be bringing along. It’s kind of blah, and the neckline is too low. My human likes low necklines on herself, but on me, they look awkward.
So you may wonder why I decided to take this week’s selfie while I was wearing it. Basically, it was the last thing I wore that day, and I still hadn’t done my selfie. So there you go. I just wanted to get it over with.
Well, that turned out completely off center!
This one’s better… but now you can see why I think this dress is a fashion flop! That neckline is not flattering on me at all. Maybe this dress was made for a pug or something.
This is better — I cropped out most of the dress for more of a headshot. That way, you can’t see much of it. These shots aren’t as good as the portraits my human took of me yesterday, but for a selfie, this one is not bad.
See all of Summer’s merch at her Designercat Shop, available on Zazzle.
Well I think you look adorable in ALL your dresses but that one DOES have an extra wide “front” on it so maybe it’s bothersome? Pretty colors though…….

I happen to like that dress. I wonder how many pints of blood I could get if you sent it to me. HAH! I also like the rule of thirds that pics don’t have to be centered to be good in fact they’re most inneresting if they’re not.
We think you look adorable! Our mom is so lucky that she’s going to see you in a few days!
I sure think your selfie rocks, Summer! You are ever so beauteous!
It are a great selfie, but yeah, da dress are not da cutest one ya has.
We see what you mean, Summer. But you look beautiful in your selfie!
You always look beautiful but it does make your neck look really long 🙂
The selfies came out terrific. As to the dress, our mom says that low neckline gives you the opportunity to accessorize with a nice necklace. But if you are not comfy and don’t feel pretty wearing it, then leave it behind. Have fun at the CWA Conference. Our mom wishes she could have afforded to do both that and BlogPaws, but she just couldn’t. Thanks for hopping over to see us.

Paisley is not a pattern that looks great on everyone either.
Summer, I just cleaned out my closet and dresser, trying on every bit of clothing, and rehanging the good stuff, boxing up the not-fitting-well stuff. Looks like the dress you’re wearing for your selfie is going in the ‘return’ pile!
Well, it’s your stylist’s fault for providing the wrong dress!
Nice selfies. I think you look great in your dress.

Love the Pink and Orange combination. Summer colors definitely suits you Sparkle, you always look fabulous even when you don’t think so!
^^ Pretty Cat!!
Never a dull moment for you Summer. Just as well you don’t mind flying. Me? I hate it but sometimes it’s necessary.
You are still beautiful whatever you wear.xxx
We think the dress is pretty,but too bad it does not fit well.
We do like your selfie!

I think you’re right. I don’t think that purr-ticular dress flatters your form the best. I think it must’ve been designed for a D-O-G and not a pussycat. Mom says she thinks a sweetheart neckline would be “precious” on you. I’m not sure what that is, but I know you’ll understand, ’cause you are a fashionista. Kisses sugar paws.
I’m glad i don’t have to worry about necklines.
I agree with your human.. the weird neckline makes you look kinda lama-esque. But you’re still such a pretty girl, even in ill fitting clothing!
Summer,
I think yoo look very pretty in that dress. It’s NOT a fashion flop.

Your new outfit looks very chic on you and your cross-eyed look melts my heart, lol _
Do you also have troubles with Blogger ? I don’t get the comments in my emails !
almost a week now _
Great selfies, Summer, even if it isn’t your most flattering dress.
It gaps in the armhole. Just not done!
I agree the neckline is too low but I love the print! Great selfie!
Summer we love the color and the fabric but we agree the neck is kinda low cut. It makes your neck look kinda long which isn’t a bad thing cause but I suspect if feels kinda funny around the shoulders and arms too.
BUT all that being said you look beautimous as always
Hugs madi your bfff
PS have fun in Texas
Purrfect selfie, Summer ! Purrs
Your selfie is purrfect beautiful Summer, you nailed it girl!
You always look good, Summer, no matter what.
Your selfie looks great, Summer! I see what you mean about that dress–from certain angles it makes your neck look weirdly long. I’m sure you’ve got some gorgeous things picked out for CWA and the cat show. 🙂
While the colors look beautiful on you the cut seems like it’s for a thicker type neck. Doggie type. It is cute. Maybe Boodie might like to try it on, she looks pretty fluffy and could possible fill it out. MOL. Cute pics sweetie. Happy Sunday Funday! Purrs
Yes, definitely not one of your best dresses, but you still take a great selfie.
Have to say Summer, that isn’t the dress for you.. It’s too plain, and the binding around the edges makes it look like BInga ran it up for you in a hurry. (Binga would have skipped that step had she time to think about it I am sure). Too bright an orange for your furs in the paisley design too.
That dress definitely has the WRONG sought of plunging neckline MOL. Still, that was a great selfie in the circumstances. I hope you have a wonderful time at the CWA Conference, and we will look forwards to the pictures in days to come.

Sometimes even the most beautiful cat has fashion issues and we ALL have terrible clothes we would like to wear but can’t!!
Lady Summer, You’re right, that neckline hits you in exactly the wrong place. Plus when you raise your paw for a “high five” or anything the dress becomes a one shoulder which on you really isn’t a good look. (Just my opinion, agree w/me or don’t, just saying.)
Summer, your selfies are beautiful. I think that your dress is lovely. Have a great time in Houston.
