Wishful Wednesday :: Dorothy Perkins

I swear she popped out of no where! I did start to see some of her items trickling into the blogosphere but then this week, BAM! Everyone is talking about Dorothy Perkins!

So I took a gander at some items that I thought were nice picks. Some you may have seen already but too bad, this is my blog, and I shall talk about what I wish.

Cream zigzag chiffon dress

You may have seen this one featured on Atlantic Pacific. She's got great style and great choice in dresses!

Rust spot sundress

Love polka dots. Always have, always will.

Black drape pocket dress

I need to find more simple black dresses or dresses similar to this style. They make for great after work, dinner wear as well as... work wear.

Peach sleeveless belted dress

Cute dress but I think I need a darker color!

Black / grey beaded dress

 Love the bead detailing on the skirt of this dress.

Navy blazer with ivory tipping

I'm a sucker for blazers. Especially in colors like this!

Multi print cross over dress

This could be interesting. I kind of like it but am dying to pair it with some solids/neutrals of some sort.

Black illusion peplum dress

This looks like it could be slimming and nice enough to wear to work or for a special occasion.


Has anyone else tried ordering from here except for Extra Petite [DP review post]? I know she mentioned that the quality is similar to ASOS however, for those of you who have ordered from ASOS, you must be familiar with their free shipping and free returns policy. With Dorothy Perkins, I believe Jean of Extra Petite said she had to pay out of pocket to return her items. AND, there is no free shipping like ASOS. I believe IF there is, you must have a minimum order.

Let me know if you find anything great! Happy Hump Day!

Wishful Wednesday :: Peplum

I'm still in search of a strapless peplum dress that's not white. I have a couple of weddings to go to and I wanted to wear peplum to the last one in Maui, but just couldn't find the right dress. I don't know what it is but when I am looking for something, I become very specific about how I want it to look. Do you ever get that way? Anyway, two more weddings ahead. One in less than a month!!!

ASOS Floral Peplum

I could go really floral. Or is that too busy for a wedding? And, it's no longer strapless.

Mollie Peplum Dress

During my search, I found THIS!! I don't actually like the above dress in Taffeta. I just had to put this up here because it's kind of funny. Reminds me of the 80s. Makes me feel like I should crimp my hair, spray it down with Aquanet, and put it in a side pony tail. Anyway, moving forward...

Alice + Olivia Victoria Peplum

Maybe I ought to go very conservative? But then again, I like the idea of having no straps/sleeves because it's going to be hot. It's summer!!

Nasty Gal Wrapped Peplum

I thought this was cute too. But that deep V worries me. Especially at a wedding.

Dorothy Perkins Stone Lace Top Peplum

Is this too matronly?

ASOS Bandeau Dress w/ Peplum

This might be a little loud, right? Yeah...

Topshop Peplum Scuba Pencil Skirt

Is that too boring and BLACK for a wedding?


Do you see my dilemma here? Suggestions? See a peplum dress that you think is wedding appropriate in the month of July? Please share. I need some shopping help.
