CSS Hover image - html

Question

I have an image which has and inner border with opacity set to .7 and round corners, which works great. The only problem is i need to add a hover state to image. I have tried :hover but nothing seems to work.
The border needs to go blue and with a png overlay.
HTML:
<div class="box" >
<div class="imgWrap">
<img src="http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2013/6/19/1371640593241/Morris-the-cat-009.jpg" alt="product1" >
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.box{
width:191px;
background:#FCFBDF;
margin: 0 auto;
}
img{
width:191px;
height:191px;
display:block;
border-radius:50%;
}
.imgWrap{
position:relative;
}
.imgWrap:after{
content:"";
position:absolute;
top:0; bottom:0; left:0; right:0;
opacity:0.5;
border: 10px solid rgba(248, 248, 255, 0.7);
border-radius:50%;
}

Answer 1

I am guessing you tried to fire the hover state on the image like this :
img:hover{
.. your code ...
}
But as there is a pseudo element over it, you can never hover the image.
The workaround is to trigger the hover state on the pseudo element like this :
.imgWrap:hover:after{
border-color:blue;
background: url('PATH TO YOUR IMAGE');
}

Answer 2

Add hover like this.
.imgWrap:hover{
width:250px;
}
PS : I am just adjusting the width based on hover. But you could do whatever you like in the hover.
Hope this helps.
Cheers!

EDIT : Assuming you don't need to modify the image with the cat, web-tiki's solutions seems better.
I think you may have to use some Javascript/Jquery, as long as you can't directly trigger a mouse hover on the image (because there is some element above).
Here is an example.
$(".imgWrap").hover(function(){
$('img').toggleClass("imgHover");
$('.imgWrap').toggleClass("imgHover");
$('.box').toggleClass("imgHover");
});
.imgHover{
width:300px;
height:300px;
}
try this in your JSFiddle. don't forget to add Jquery lib

As example i just changed the size of the Box, the Circle and the image.
