H&M Peter Pan Collar Dress

Saturday, July 9th, 2011 | 87 Comments

Earlier in the week I saved the following images of a dress Aya was wearing. The colors and shape were just so inspiring!




Then … I saw this at H&M Wednesday…

It’s perfect, I love this dress!

Color, carefree fit, and sleeveless so it can be worn with jackets & cardigans easily. The freakin thing even has pockets!!!!!!!! I’m a pocket fiend. When things don’t have pockets I get a bit grumpy lol The black ribbon tie is detachable for a more casual look too.

Wore it to work yesterday, “casual Friday.” I wore a black blazer with it but it was too hot to wear on the train home so I took it off so it’s not in my closet snap. Anywho~ wore it again today to Georgetown for some birthday gift shopping (for a friend.) It was 90F and this dress stayed pretty cool~~!

Love this! I love when I can find something in a similar aesthetic to something I’ve been digging. Man I wish I had an h&m close by.

OMG This looks great! This also reminds me to shop at my H&M more too lol I never do because it’s a bit far from my area but it’s so worth it isn’t it? I often wish they had online shopping like F21 though! This dress looks sweet on you!

jenny said
July 9, 2011 @ 9:04 pm

I DO TOOOOOOOOOO *CRY CRY CRY* They “claim” once again they’ll have a webstore but end of 2011 so here’s hoping! Because many time I KNOW what I want & size I need but it’s sold out in stores. I’d totally buy online!!

jenny said

OH MY GOSH. I LOVE IT. You find all of these amazing things at H&M, but I can never find one decent thing at the H&Ms near me. :|

Love this dress on you! A lot of people have a hard time wearing dresses like this, because it doesn’t exactly give much shape, but it suits you nicely

jenny said
July 10, 2011 @ 7:49 pm

Awe thanks, yeah without the belt, just lying flat, it’s not as nice IMO. I like it tied and gathered up a bit!

 
 
sidney said
July 9, 2011 @ 10:56 pm

Oooh I think I actually like yours better than Aya’s! I like the detachable belt and the shape it gives yours^^

jenny said
July 10, 2011 @ 7:50 pm

Awe thank you thank you. Yeah the belt is really a sweet little extra to give it shape!

You are always ridiculously lucky when it comes to your look-alike finds! I’m so jealous!

jenny said
July 10, 2011 @ 7:51 pm

LOLOL IKR I’m always still shocked when I find something similar to a Japanese brand item I wanted xD

omg this is an amazing find~~haha i personally find i’ve such a hard time rmbing the exact styles i wanna mimic when i’m out shopping unless i’ve the magazine/photo in front of me LOL~~

jenny said
July 10, 2011 @ 8:03 pm

For whatever reason I remember so, so much from things I see in magazines. Blessing & curse b/c I’ll spot a LOT of items that look similar to Japanese brand items and I’ll feel SUCH a compulsion to buy them!

Oh noo, I love it! :’ ) the design is so cute and it looks like adorable on you, uuuh I might have to search for this dress too (it is so silly to realize how big obsession I have for peter pan collars -and I know that I am not the only one!). :–D

jenny said
July 10, 2011 @ 8:10 pm

I LOVE PETER PAN COLLARS!!!! Or lace collars, or double chiffon collars, or contrast color collars…. COLLARS TREND *__*!!

jenny said
July 10, 2011 @ 8:15 pm

Hahahahah no, no I can’t see that but thank you (`∀´メ)!!!! Do you have an H&M near you?? You have SO MUCH Japanese brand clothing I feel you are such a fashionable girl who is always in Japanese brand fashion!!! ~\(´ε`\)

 
 
Tori said
July 10, 2011 @ 9:51 am

I love it~~!! It ’s practically the same dress too, except Aya isn’t wearing the belt, y/n? Looks fantastic on you!

jenny said
July 10, 2011 @ 8:10 pm

Yes! I dunno if Aya’s came belted but when I don’t wear the belt it looks exact! I just like the extra shape the belt gives me

!!! I LOVE this!!! I just went to H&M and didn’t see it anywhere! I’d love to nab it…and yes I LOVE when skirts/dresses have pockets! We have things we need to carry around, too!

jenny said
July 10, 2011 @ 8:07 pm

I think it’s new. I didn’t see it at the F Street H&M I was at last weekend and it was displayed in the area where they put their latest trends, so maybe that helps?

Courtney said
July 15, 2011 @ 12:49 am

oh great. I’ll look again. If I see it we can be dress buddies xD

The color is so sweet, match perfectly with this summer ~ The version you found at H&M is wonderful ! I really love it, it gives a sweet but also chic style

jenny said
July 10, 2011 @ 8:02 pm

Cute dress To me I think it looks better with the ribbon.

jenny said

You’re too kind ^^;;;;;;; Thank you~~~~~~~~

 
 
July 11, 2011 @ 7:28 am

This style suits you so well! I kind of envy that you’ve found something that works for you so well and you stick with it. My style is so all over the place, haha.

I also always want short hair again whenever I see yours. ♥ Maybe exte will be out sooner than I thought. D

jenny said
July 11, 2011 @ 6:53 pm

Hahaha awe thank you, I appreciate you sharing that. I often feel pulled towards new styles too, but when I put them on it’s not a good fit or I don’t feel myself in it so mostly I try to let my choices happen naturally. It’s hard when so many different styles look SO APPEALING !

July 11, 2011 @ 9:52 am

I love the collar on this one! H&M definitely has the best clothes. I hope my H&M has this dress~ It looks so floaty and cool. Is the fabric really soft?

jenny said
July 11, 2011 @ 6:55 pm

It’s light, it’s a little like a crushed organza dress but not exactly. It’s soft like crushed silk/polyester rather than cashmere if that makes sense LOL. You’ll see. Hopefully you can find it!

Amazing find!! It’s practically an exact match to Aya’s. Actually I think yours is even cuter!

jenny said

July 12, 2011 @ 4:21 pm

I saw this in H&M but they only had it in a European 40 which is wayyyy too big for me. I was a little upset, but I guess it just wasn’t meant to be haha

It looks lovely on you though!

jenny said
July 12, 2011 @ 5:15 pm

Awe, maybe some other day, restock or something
