You CAN be a scientist and also enjoy curating your perfect wardrobe!
Hi! I’m Kimi, a PhD scientist and the brains behind this blog!
I started my blog when I was a graduate student in desperate need of a style overhaul, and documenting my outfits allowed me to experiment with new styles and figure out what worked and made me feel confident. I want nothing more than for me to help you feel confident in what you wear!
On Cotton Cashmere Cat Hair, I share everyday outfit inspiration (from grad school to real-world career and everywhere in between), tips on how to get the most out of your wardrobe, how I track my sartorial purchases, life in Boise, things to do in Idaho, travel experiences and tips, itineraries, packing lists, favorite beauty and lifestyle products, books, my cats, and so much more!
My goal is to inspire you to lean into and have fun with your style—especially if you’re a woman in STEM like me—and share bits about things I love and learn about that I also think YOU’LL love to learn about.
I am a 30-something childfree cat lady living in Boise, Idaho, with my two senior cats and boyfriend of eight years. I earned my Master’s in 2015, my PhD in 2017, and have worked full-time as a scientist in my field since then!
What began as a creative outlet during my graduate studies in the fall of 2013 is now a resource for women making the transition from graduate school to the workforce and figuring out life along the way. Let’s be friends! 🤗
The name of my blog is a play on what I wear! You can find me in mostly cotton (low-end) with a little bit of cashmere (mid- to high-end), and as a cat lady, cat hair is my favorite (and most-worn) accessory! 😸
