The Peplum and the Pea Coat
Because a girl can never have too many coats... or too many items of clothing beginning with P, this '60s style yellow pea coat, first spied at the Matalan AW14 press day back in May, was top of my birthday wish list... and just happened to be the perfect length to showcase my new pep-hem knit too!

Et Tu? How to Wear the New Leather Midi...
This faux leather midi skirt had been gazing up at me bewitchingly from various Tu at Sainsbury's AW14 magazine ads for some time, so I was overjoyed to unwrap it on my birthday a couple of weeks ago, along with this embroidered mustard tee and "Gok" peplum jumper - the perfect new season 2-in-1 weatherproof ensemble, c/o Mummy Muses! With its versatile matte finish and vintage-style extra-long midi cut, I'm pretty sure this little gem will become one of my AW staples, accompanied by faux furs, fedoras and boots, but, for now, I wanted to take the opportunity to showcase my long-wished-for Matalan lace-up heels (which also fortuitously made their way into my birthday haul)... so gorgeous, I can barely believe their £22 price tag!

Baby Blues: The Midi Mac
The eternal autumnal quandary for the midi-lover - finding a hemline-appropriate cover-up to throw on top - has finally been solved for me by my discovery of Collectif's "Dietrich" trench. Having trawled through Brighton's piles of ancient furs and dirty Converse in an attempt to purchase some genuine vintage, I have to admit to breathing a sigh of relief upon coming across some lovely new, clean, animal-free gems in this heretofore-undiscovered vintage-repro store! At £47.50, reduced from £95, this was a bit of a splurge for me (albeit a great value one!), but I'm considering it my 29th (eek!) birthday present to myself... It's also available in classic beige, black and navy, but I couldn't resist the statement baby blue shade - perfect for getting some extra mileage out of my summer wardrobe now, and cosying up with pastel tights (or seamed stockings!) later on...

4 More Ways to Wear a Pastel Midi
Last month, I previewed my new pleated pastel midi in my Célfie selfies, but, as the last glimmers of summer fade, I thought I'd show you how else I've been styling it, along with my other Dotty P bargain beauty, in an attempt to sweeten the autumnal transition with a little taste of candy...
