The Power of the Peplum

April 17, 2017

Word on the street is the peplum is scheduled for a resurgence this fall.

On pants.

This is great news as I wasn’t aware that it was a trend that had faded and now I can be glad that it’s back.

I’ll put a peplum on anything.  Reason being,  it does so much for masking little flaws. Or big flaws.
I say we all take advantage of the proficiency of the peplum (I know its a stretch) as it accentuates the waist, plays up the curves, and  makes the tummy magically disappear.
It has a classy, romantic 1940’s appeal even when it is sleeveless.

At this point in my wardrobe collection, peplums are restricted to several tops and one wool coat.

I have a couple from Express that were purchased a few years ago

And a few that I’m interested in here and here.  Really interested.

 

I’m feeling a shopping spree coming on.

Today I wore my navy blue top from Forever21 (similar, similar) with my white Express jeans and my navy slides that are similar to these.

It’s Monday

Welcome!


I’m Kim… and I love Pretty clothes, Pretty décor, Pretty days, and Pretty much anything that involves family and fun.  Growing up, My Mama told me more than once “Pretty is as Pretty does” …encouraging me to focus on the inner pretty girl, as she is the one that matters most.

Here on my blog, I’m sharing what I see as pretty.  Whether it be an outfit, an experience, an event, a memory or thought.  Hopefully I’ll share something that will be interesting, useful, or make you smile along the way.
