What I look like in Peter Pilotto

2 weeks ago I said Peter who? I am going to admit to you that I had never heard of this man before. #suchafashionfailure So when everyone was going on about the new colllection for Target (one of my favourite US stores) I thought I'd get amongst the frenzy because my Mum was actually in the US the day it launched so I quickly put my order in and it's only today that I've been given the goods. I asked for this and that and that and this and had thought I was only getting one top (due to shortage of stock) so was THRILLED when today I received 4 pieces - YIPPEE!

 Here's what I got today (which by the way had been screwed up in a bag for 2 weeks and was CREASE FREE)

I couldn't wait to try the things on so I stripped off in my kitchen and they were gorgeous (except 1 piece, see below).

 I then decided to take some proper selfie photos with shoes on etc

 This dress is gorgeous, right length, gorgeous pattern, hides bumps, can be dressed up or down - I am loving it!




This is just a different colour and don't need this so have sold to a friend.

I wanted to love this top but it doesn't sit right on me - it's slightly too big but only ever so .. still, it's not right so it's going to a new good home.




Now I am keeping this but just realised that I've totally styled it like a person that gets dressed in the dark! It's MUCH better with jeans/trainers and I love that it's a long top, fab quality tshirt material and is so different for me. Thinking white jeans in the summer will be nice too.


So did I make the right choices to keep the red dress and long sleeved tshirt?

 Fiona

    Oh you suit that dress so well - it's gorgeous on you. I prefer the red colour way too. As for the tops - both lovely too...but I think good choice to keep the long sleeved one and you really should sell the other one to me ;) xx

      Oh I'm glad you said the red because I was just wondering if the other colour would be better to keep but I don't own much red yet always feel very RAH when I do (this is a good thing)!!

      The top is sold to you :-)

    The red dress is FAB ... especially with the blue shoes. Not the red shoes - too predictable! But with the blue shoes, it's a knock out! And yes, the colour suits you better than the blue & yellow one. Love the two tops ... laughing at your comment about getting dressed in the dark :) Think you've made a good decision on the ones you're keeping x

      The blue shoes (next blog post tomorrow) are gorgeous in colour and I really do need some as they are so versatile. So pleased everyone went for the red dress too! Shall I wear to London?!

    Fiona, I am so so sorry but I do need to be bland (as you know me):
    Euuucccchhhh, Peter Pilotto better be fogotten about.
    I get nervous shakes looking at those prints, they make me unsettled for some reason.
    Don't know what all the hype is about - would never ever wear it.
    Your legs are to die for though ♥

    That red print dress looks great on you I love it with the blue pumps and actually the two tops look pretty cool too, I have the long sleeve one in red and for £20 I think it is pretty good value. Can't wait to see you rocking the red dress in london x

      I reckon I might wear in London - it's comfy, it hides all that needs hiding and for me it's so different!

    I love the red print dress on you. I have to say, I'm not good with prints but love seeing them on other people and I agree with everyone else - it goes a treat with the blue shoes! A definite keeper.

    I know we have talked about this away from the blog, but I am blown away by how much more expensive this line is for you all in the UK. Crazy.

    Anyhow, I share with you the love for that last top. I own it and find it to be one of the better produced items in the line, very nice soft cotton, just a touch oversized for comfort, and true to life colors. I look forward to styling it with some cobalt jeans I have from a few years back.

    these look great on you, some people in the office got a couple of pieces, but it's such a particular set of colours, they either 'work' or not.

    One of my girls has the dress and it is really nice, I liked the whole collection but too young for me although I may pinch her pumps! x
