I've jumped on my own Peter Pan band wagon (did I mention I'm reading the book? I did start reading it before I got a little obsessed with his fashion counterpart) and have hand embellished some tees. The Jen Over-sized Peter Pan Collar tees have white lace collars and turned up sleeves. They're currently available in grey and navy, black will be back in stock soon. A marl denim blue and the burgundy shade I'm wearing will soon be available too. If you would like a specific colour/size combination that isn't available online please don't hesitate to contact me! The style is designed to be oversized, so looks great tucked into high-waisted skirts/jeans/shorts or even pulled in with a belt.

This is a new venture for me, so I hope you like them. (I guess if people don't, I just have quite few new t-shirts....) x

Firstly I'm going to go ahead an apologise for this huge white space. Essentially I buggered up formatting I suppose... it was the only way I could fit the image in width ways without loosing part of it. My bad.

Anyway.

My love of the Peter Pan Collar is no secret, so I thought I would share with you a few of favouite pieces currently available on the high street. I've previously blogged about a few of the dresses, so I won't go into too much detail! I've been after a vintage-feel cream/white blouse for quite some time to wear with jeans and having spent a little time on ASOS have finally found my ideal! I absolutely love the Darling Peter Pan Collar blouse and if I had £45 to spend on a shirt, I would purchase it immediately! I really wanted something like this for my trip to Paris this week (excited!!) but alas my bank account is saying no.

I felt the Zara dress (next to the blouse) and I were meant to be, it looked absolutely perfect. However when I went to try it on, they only had a medium and a large. This is rarely a problem for me, but it was just too big for me around my ribs. I know I could use a belt to pull it in (which I would have done) however, this sizing issue shattered my illusion of it's perfection. (I did however find another similar style dress but without the collar and the medium fitted perfectly - I really had to fight with myself mentally not to buy it and then sew on my own collar... yes, I'm still considering it.)

I discovered the ASOS black Peter Pan Collar dress on the lovely Milkteef's (Emma's) blog and now I've become a little desperate to own it. I always manage to become fixated with lots of clothing when I literally have no money. It's a really bad self torturous habit.

I'd love to know if you've found any other great peter pan collar pieces. x
