I love these photos! Katie looks a bit like a gypsy. We had a quick bite of lunch and now Katie’s dashed off to her friend Dissy’s birthday tea party in Shepherd’s Bush whilst I’ve got a busy schedule of computering and cricket watching. Today’s outfit consists of a Just In Case skirt (worn as a dress) from Jane Davidson, Ash boots, H&M hat and mittens and Talullah Tu heart necklace.
SPECIAL(ISH) ANNOUNCEMENT:
Fancy a bit of fun? Want to be part of What Katie Wore? Starting today, we would love you suggest some looks for Katie to try and pull off. You can suggest anything, from ‘Communist Chic’ to ‘Chav Secretary’. The first outfit will be worn tomorrow, so leave us your comments/suggestions tonight and we’ll pick a winner later.
First of all, this outfit is fabulous. I’m also extremely excited that people still go to tea parties. Is that something I should expect for when I come to study in London in January??
Also, I think Katie should dress up as a confused Christmas elf. Not sure why, it was just the first thing I thought of
Katie looks exquisite today! I adore it!
And the look i suggest for Katie is “X-Factor contestant” or “WAG”. I know this sounds as if i hate Katie but i don’t, promise! It would just be a complete departure for her, and if anyone can bring a bit of class to those two categories it’s Katie!
Love it!
Oh my sweet lord this is easily in my top 5. Maybe Even top 2?? Gorgeous gorgeous outfit, happy happy photo.
I’m going to suggest ‘vampire panda’ and ‘modern Morris’ as in Morris Dancers. I know they get a bad name but I’ve recently met some in Brighton and they have a brilliant sense of humour, quirktastic accessories and in fact some of the dances are pretty impressive! [Please don't come to my house wielding torches.]
she’s luking so bohemian!!!
well, i wanna suggest the rock chic luk for katie, i dont think she has tried that out yet!!
Cowgirl meets floral prints
that skirt/dress is lovely! so flowy, and so perfect with the blues! (colours, not the mood!)
hmm, I think it would be great to see Katie in a “Scandinavian Pop Royalty” look! Think Robyn, Annie, Abba, maybe even stretch the geographic boundaries and add a little Bjork!
however, @EmilyJ, modern morris is a fantastic idea!!
I adore this!
I want to suggest something I’m rather fond of dressing up as – Korean Pop style! Bright and colourful like Katie, she could pull it off!
Sarah Palin style ’soccer mom’.
PS: Love the outfit!
How about Japanese cartoon heroine, with Kate’s wide eyes, perfect. Love this outfit.
I wold love to see Katie pull off Alice in Wonderland-meets-Margaret Thatcher! Only she could pull it off
oh, i did mine yesterday by accident. heroin chic.
love the pic more than the look, actually. beautifully shot
I LOVE this look! How about Cheryl Cole? Or armchair chic? Or Women’s institute/good housewives look? Or Gary Glitter-ish? Hehe, I said the last because I have a bad taste party to go too… I’m going to be popular… xo
Love, love, LOVE this! By far my favourite – that skirt/dress is gowjass! I suggest Shellsuit Glamour/ *Flammable Chic*
I’d like to see a monochrome look from the missus, all white and black, no colours allowed…
This is my favourite Katie outfit of the whole year, which is a big call to make. I just love the colours and the outfit as a whole has just the right amount of matchiness.
Loving the new theme competition thingy. How about Scottish rugby romance in honour of the victory Katie’s boys had over Fiji?
I suggest Willy Wonka and his Twisted Chocolate Factory!
))
I think she should dress all “David Bowie”, and that is my suggestion.
Gorgeous look,the colours are fabulous and has Katie cleverly lopped the hem offthe skirt to make the scarf?
As for the look suggestions: How about ‘Audrey Hepburn meets Dynasty in a school disco’
oh this is DEFINATELY fo shiz top 5!
I think either a Captain Jack Sparrow look or yes, something David Bowie-esq!
xx
Nice outfit… If what they say abt the colours ppl wear being a result of their mood/feelings is true, then Katie must be a very cheerful somebody… PS: sorry the cricket didn’t go quite to yo liking… guess SA was a better side
Very nice outfits today and yesterday, this is like my favourite website ever! I think that Katie should dress clown style! x
This is definitely one of my favourite outfits of the year!
I think Katie should either go goth or dress completely in fur/animal print.
This is a wonderful outfit; the skirt/dress is beautiful.
Can’t wait to see the outcomes of these suggestions. Just to add mine to the mix – inspired by The Muppets; Jane Austen, with a twist; and Disney princess!
GORGEOUS – favourite everrr x
She could be dressed as a farmer! But in a fashionable way of course.
Lovely. Would like to see dress as Mrs Obama
O M G “!!!!!!! luuuuuvuing this luv luv luv luv It !And I’m plumpling for Hannah Montannna going to a Jordan fan club reunion after 2 hours of community service or a demented snowman xxxxx
Mustache enthusiast! OR a gypsy revolutionary!
Oh that idea is soooo old. http://wearnshare.blogspot.com/
OK, to be fair we haven’t updated it for..erm…about a year. But still.
That idea is like, so old.. http://wearnshare.blogspot.com/
Ok, so we never update it and our outfits aren’t very exciting. But still.
@Riikka thanks! Incidentally I dressed up as Bjork once, I made the swan dress from scratch. One of my finest hours!
looks for katie:
1. lithuanian munchkin.
2.blanketgirl
3.the meat/sweet trifle from FRIENDS.
“a somewhat existentialist elvis meets molly parkin in uncharacteristically quiet mood after a hard day percolating with the cream of the intellegenzia at the lunatic asylum”
…or is that a bit obvious?
I love this outfit! As someone else already said, she looks wonderfully bohemian. Normally I like the completely out there looks, but it’s nice to see you working an arty librarian/student kind of thing. You look like you should be reading poetry in coffee shops.
As for looks, I think either Enid from Ghost World (one of my favourite films) or, Ugly Betty, which I have been attempting to pull of recently with the help of a peruvian vintage knitted waistcoat, to which my boyfriend just stares at blankly and shouts ‘She’s UGLY BETTY! YOU’RE MISSING THE WHOLE POINT!!’ Personally, I love how Betty dresses, but you know, if he’s held back by his imagination…
I’d love to see Katie as Women’s Institute Goth.
Let her dress like the queen…
lovely as alays katie, what about 1980s hair metal? Im the expert, I was that soldier, have fringy leather jacket still in wardrobe in hope of a comeback!
Bohemian art teacher is the outfit I’d love to see.
Absolutely adore this outfit – bought a smile to my face as soon as it popped up on my screen – definitely one of my favourites =) Everything works wonderfully together and the dress/skirt is beautiful.
Lovely photography too – the lighting, Katie smiling at someone/something just out of the reaches of the camera and that little gust of wind sweeping her scarf and skirt to the side.
Suffice to say, I love everything about this one! *^_^*
oops didnt mean to post twice. will you delete one so i don’t look like a fool?
Oooh, love today’s one.
I think you could do a pretty cool Charlie Chaplin, it being Movember and all that! xxx
Katie – I definitely think this is the most beautiful outfit of the year and after seeing you, you did you wonderful. Also, you gave me the best birthday presents ever. My cabbage plant is in pride of place! Thank you so much again. And… @Good Girl Gone Blog – tea parties are the only way forward. After 5 hours of cooking and all my friends round, it was fab. Also helps to put some wine in the tea pots too xxxx
Minimalist chic.
glorious outfit.
hey, some of the comments got me thinking – maybe you could also do a katie top 10 for the regulars. (or top 5)…
(would be fun to see which looks rack up I reckon)
I always love the outfits with tons of color, this is fantabulous.
The outfit I think would be interesting to see Katie pull off is “Revolutionary Peasant”. this can be from whatever revolution you’re feeling at the moment (i’m leaning toward the French Rev, personally).
have fun with this challenge!
love the mittens!
Can’t believe i missed Katie and her mittens going for tea in the Bush…that will learn me for hibernating all day with a hangover and not keeping on top of WKW…
My late (soz!) and highly obvious suggestion is “12 Days of Christmas” – that should kill a few entry titles for Joe and bring out the green and reds and sparkle in Katie’s wardrobe…
You hail from the East, but mix it up with some norf London style and some wilderness US-ness: ‘Finsbury Park Ranger’…
This site cheers me up every day.
I think Katie should do Tilda Swinton/androgynous. That would have to be a challenge.
I just love this outfit – the colour, the accessories … the skirt/dress is just gorgeous!!
I think after declaring your love for Iris Apfel on Twitter you should have a look inspired by her xx
Katie should dress like Tristan for a day! All she needs is a blue fleece and some jeans.
One of the best outfits ever
Lovely outfit, gorgeous boots!
Even though I go on your site practically every day, I have never commented before. This outfit is easily one of my top 3 for the year. The two photos are brilliant too: bright and happy. Thanks for cheering me up on this rainy Monday morning!
This is the best outfit so far this year except cacharel dress from Jane Davidson…loving Katie in red! How about you try ‘Gay unicorn chic’ or ‘gothic Debbie McGee’ he he . Be lovely to see what the clever lady comes up with for those
Oh shoot! I forgot to check yesterday. Just when I was wondering if Katie ever wore prints. I LOVE this outfit. This is my favorite one since I’ve been following this blog. I just got some cute brown leather Joan & David pumps w/ fringey toes that I’ll be listing in my shop this afternoon. Your boots reminded me of them. I love the dress! What about the beaded necklace? Vintage? I have a wooden bead necklace in the shop right now that is reminiscent. Anyway, have a good day! xoxo
Here we have it…my favourite outfit of the year!! The dress is too pretty to be true!! Love love love!
OH MY!!!! Not only is the outfit absolutely gorgeous (and now another one of my faves) but the picture is lovely, the light, composition, movement (it looks like the wind blew just at the right moment!) and Katies gorgeous smile! Absolutely lovely! x
love the outfit –
deff. one of my faves!!
and i think that a kind of margaret thatcher look should happen…. suit boring shoes (if katie posses a pair of that nature) and some kind of pearl necklace??? lets see how katie makes that look her own….
x
JEANS!! Hehehe. Only joking.
Love this outfit, the smile and the boots.
ADORABLE!
absolutely adorable!
My favorite yet xx
What they (above) said. Well, almost.
x
LOVE IT.
Hmm, ideas, how abouuuut…. School Teacher Chic? Because I remember every single one of my female teachers dressing ridiculously bad.. I’m sure Katie could bring some life to the hypothetical classroom! (:
Judging by the number of comments this IS the outfit of the year – and I would have to agree – lovely !!
this is beautiful!! she is sparkling in this picture…great photo too by the way.
lovely lovely outfit and a gorgeous pic xx
