ADD PEP TO YOUR STYLE WITH PEPLUMS

Monday, February 27, 2012

At the risk of dating myself, I am going to tell you that when I first got married, my all time favorite style was the peplum. To me, a then 20 year old aspiring fashionista, this style was the epitome of lady like glamour and sophistication. Not to mention that it accentuated my waist and hid the wideness of my hips. Of course back in the late 80's - early 90's the peplum had to be equally balanced out with a humongous pair of shoulder pads. Thankfully, that trend didn't really make it back, but the return of the modernized peplum this season makes me delirious with joy. Today's peplum is slightly softer, and less dramatic than it's previous counterpart. It also can be customized in its styling with twists or simple slight wings on each side of a skirt or jacket. And like I mentioned before, one of the reasons I'm so enamoured by this style is because when you own a womanly figure, fashion that celebrates your shape is a welcome relief to always trying to look straight and narrow. Peplums have the ability to accentuate AND hide the hips at the same time, and if you have a small waist then this is a dream style for you!

  2. You're right! It's a great look for the more womanly figure and I'm definitely thinking of finding a nice top which will also work with the rest of my wardrobe. Have a lovely week xo

  3. This look is so pretty but I'm busty so I pretty much stay with straight classic lines.

  6. Sharon, I love this look too ... it's so soft and womanly and, as you say, hides a little as an extra gift!! If only the 80's known that the peplum could have been this gorgeous without the shoulder pads!! lol Love the images that you've shared with us ... beautiful pieces!

    Thanks so much for dropping by my place & your lovely comment, Sharon ... have a wonderful week! ~xoSM

  12. Yes! Love it and that gray is gorgeous. This is such a feminine look and really enhances the silhouette.

    (I'm glad the shoulder pads are out now)

  13. I know they say that if you wore the trend the first time it came out... but this looks more classic (and yet fresher, does that make sense?) than in the 80s. Thanks for the lyst!! ASOS is where I will go next tonight :-)

  14. I love the peplum, I don't own one but I might soon. I love a pencil skirt and the peplum seems similar but has a little more character.
