I'm Kathryn — tattooist, fellow brain fog sufferer, and the woman behind Grumpy Not Frumpy.

I spend my days chatting to brilliant women — the ones who are navigating perimenopause and the ones who are in the full grasp of that wicked beast. Women wondering why their body suddenly has opinions and why their minds just utterly can't be arsed. Well just listen here ladies, you may be a hot mess, but you need to own that shit. I will not have you dressing drab, I'm here to help you dress fab. I've curated pieces that will brighten your wardrobe and brighten your mood.

This shop exists because getting older doesn't mean getting boring. We can still dress bold, have fun, and look absolutely bloody gorge — even on the days we're running on no sleep.

Grumpy Not Frumpy is for women who aren't ready to fade into the background. Welcome sweaty soul sisters, you're in the right place 🖤
