My Way, Her Way, Our Way

Hello!
So the lovely ladies of the My Way, Her Way collaboration invited the Dynamic Duo to style our take on the peter pan collar trend, which was perfect since Jen and I obsess over peter pan collars. Every time we're deciding on a dynamic duo item, a peter pan collared top always comes up in the list of things to choose from. I'm actually kind of surprised one has never made the final cut yet. Perhaps we'll find one together in NYC. I just love how they add a cutesy touch to any outfit.

I took these photos on Friday after grabbing a quick lunch with Robert. I never meant to match my surroundings. I wanted to channel my inner spider-woman and climb this thing (and I did; the pictures were totally unflattering though), and this place just had better lighting than the rest of the playground. I told myself I wouldn't wear my red or black bow belts until my weekend in New York so you could catch a break from them. I even buried them inside my suitcase, but out this one came. I feel like I should be going to a private elementary school in this outfit, but I think print mixing would be frowned upon there.

My partner in crime, Jen, looks so lovely in her dress! I love the polka dot print, the ruffle detailing, and of course the cute collar! I can definitely see her pairing this with her amazing collection of skirts and with tights in the colder months to come. I can't believe I'm going to wreak havoc with her on Friday!

Sybil, of Animated Confessions, used a detachable peter pan collar. I need to figure out how to make one myself or just bite the bullet and buy one off of Etsy. You could just attach it to anything and everything! She's also using my favorite color combo: red, white, and blue!

Bestie, of The Capricious Club, looks so chic and sophisticated in her outfit! I have never been a fan of houndstooth, but she pulls it off so well! I have been looking everywhere for a white blouse to layer under tank dresses. I love how she added a little pin. This is totally something I'd wear when I start my preschool job, which is next week!

I had a really good long weekend. On Monday night, Robert and I had a much needed date night. We got dinner at BJ's and then watched "Going the Distance," which is hilarious and really cute. But the rest of this week is going to be really hectic since I need to get all my assignments and some paperwork for my new job done before my trip; rethink my outfit plans; and actually finish packing. I'm leaving on Thursday night so I'll try to get in an outfit post before my trip. If not, then I'll see some of you in NYC!

Until next post,
Jasmine

PS. I lowered the prices on everything in the blog shop! So have a look around!

  2. Ahhhh this is such a great collaboration! I was waiting for this to happen for awhile now :) Great choice of theme as well. You girls provided a wide range of ideas on how to work with peterpan collar. I didn't even know there's a detachable one until I saw it on Sybil! Great job, girls :)

    ps. Have fun in NYC, Jasmine. Do take lots and lots of pictures. More importantly, don't forget to have fun ;)

    Oh and I never got a chance to congratulate you on your Chictopia conference speaker position! I have been such a bad blogger and haven't had any time to browse blogs, but I just wanted to let you know that you are so deserving of the honor and I can't be happier for you!

  14. I wish I was going but it didn't work out this season so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that next season I will have enough money saved up to get out to NYC!

    We should definitely plan a meet up though, we live so close to each other that I think it's a must!
