Princess Polly shirt (underneath), Miss Shop jumper, Mother's skirt.

I have been obsessing over peter pan collars for a pretty long time now. I guess it's just the sheer whimsicality and innocence that is depicted in my mind when I think of them. When I bought the top, my mother said she had one "just like it, though it had sleeves of course". Bloggers, I think I have met the shop that is made for me. Everything in it I would buy. I had pictured, before I even entered the shop, myself in some of the clothes. It was destiny that brought me and Princess Polly together. Of course, I couldn't afford everything in the store so I settled on the gorgeous Wind Chime top (the shirt underneath in these pictures) and the Hotel shorts. I'm sure you will see them in an upcoming post, if I survive that long. My lovely mother jetted off to America and left me behind, and I miss her dearly. But kudos to her for having this skirt in her wardrobe.

bowtie

Country Road shirt, Billabong cutoffs, Miss Shop boots, Rodarte for Target bowtie, Dotti boater.

So I've decided to jump on the bandwagon of another trend. I haven't lookbooked lately at all, but had so much fun recreating their trends. So is this a wearable trend or what? I'm voting yes, when worn the right way. And as for the girls vs boys situation... I just can't decide. But I love a nice guy in a bowtie. Who doesn't?

dip dyed

Okay, I admit it: I would never have the guts to do this to my hair. But if I had to, I don't think I would mind. It's edgy, almost hippie and goes with my nymphy maxi skirt vibe I had going in my last post. To be honest, Rumi's (first picture) probably looks the best even if it is one of the erm, toned down versions. She would probably still look amazing if she was bald, so we have to cut the others some slack. I decided to do this post because I went to the hairdresser's today, and got my hair cut... exactly the way it has been cut for my whole schooling life. I just want really long hair. That's it. But if any of you guys had the chance, would you go dip-dyed?

maxi skirt

So here is my take on the winter long skirt- and mine is reversible and made by my Mother! I wore the other side (as a dress) in this photo shoot. It's amazing how many different ways you can wear something. So my take on the skirt is a little on the forest nymph side- considering the fact that I do not own any high heels, chunky knits (that look good with the skirt), satchels or maxi cardigans. But if you're planning to work the trend, it can go either way or you can give it a ladylike touch like my fellow blogger Maria. Thanks to lookbook for the trend filled first photo- I am planning to work one of their other trends sometime soon. So work that nymph-like ensemble.

playsuit

Sorry about having not blogged in so long! Playsuits are probably the number one thing that looks most hideous on me in the world, but I love the idea of them on other people. Floral, denim or even knit, as Rumi Neely from fashiontoast pulls off so well (third photo). In the last photo (courtesy of weheartit.com), playsuits are shown as an essential for the brand Zimmerman. They are a complete outfit, and the solution to the dress-or-shorts dillema. How could you not love them?
