STYLING TIPS: SHEER PANEL 'SPEEDY GONZALES' SWEATSHIRT AND A-LINE SKIRT

We’re back and so is autumn. After a few very warm and sunny days, we are now expecting a bit of a chill – and it’s only natural, it’s November already! But until the cold takes over control, be ready to spice things up a bit with our ‘Speedy Gonzales’ sheer panel sweatshirt!

 

Sporty but girly, our sweatshirt is comfortable and fun while being also intriguing. Wear it with the ‘Speedy Gonzales’ A-line skirt for school – just make sure to tame the transparency with an extra layer under the sweatshirt: a spaghetti top or a polo-neck top will do the trick. Add a pair of socks, some brogues, and your backpack and there you have it, your very special school outfit.

'SPEEDY GONZALES' SWEATSHIRT AND SKIRT

El Gringo Pussycat is our next stop for inspiration for a sporty outfit: a sweatshirt like no other and a fun little skirt.

‘Speedy Gonzales’ was just the perfect episode to find a new and unique perspective on our hero: Sylvester, patrolling the boundary of the cheese factory against illegal trespassers, is very successful, unlike most of the times. Since many hungry mice have fallen prey to the ferocious guard, the ones that remain finally decide to bring in their own champion, a mouse so fast that not even bullets can catch him. As sporty and fast as Sylvester is in this extraordinary episode (and yet another Academy Awards winner), Speedy is even better, just as his name says it: really speedy, impossible to catch. 

7 THINGS YOU DID NOT KNOW ABOUT SYLVESTER THE CAT

1. COMPLETE NAME: When he started his career in cartoons, Sylvester had no name. Then, in the first episode alongside his archenemy Tweety, he was called Thomas. It was only afterwards that he became Sylvester J. Pussycat, Sr. – a play upon Felis Silvestris (scientific name for Wild Cat) – or, in short, Sylvester.

2. CHARACTER: He is very confident and tenacious. Nevertheless, most of the times he is on the losing side. A totally different character shows up when he’s portrayed alongside Porky Pig: a scared cat, afraid of all the spooky places they explore.

3. LOOKS: once, he had a black nose, but all his other appearances show him with a red one. Actually, he was portrayed with a big red nose and with a baggy silhouette to emulate that of a clown – he is believed to have been created to mock at Tom, the MGM star of ‘Tom & Jerry’. Later on, his silhouette changed into a shorter and slender one, which, together with the more prominent canines he was gifted with, gave him more of a domestic cat look.

STYLING TIPS: THE DIPPED HEM COLOR BLOCK ’BIRDS ANONYMOUS’ DRESS

Whenever you feel like wearing something fun and comfy, although the occasion dictates a rather sober outfit, you can choose a loose fitted model, just like our ’Birds Anonymous’ dress. Just on the verge between casual and sport, the dipped hem black dress with a bit of color blocking is perfect for school or a day at the office.

Worn with a short leather jacket to accentuate its loose shape and the dip ruffle skirt, and a pair of sport shoes, it is great for those long autumn school days. Just add a bit of spice with some fun accessories and a bit of drama with an eyelashes elongating mascara and a burgundy lipstick – now that’s the spirit!
