Today’s look features this bright, floral peplum top that’s
been on heavy rotation these past several Summer weekends. It’s the perfect
piece to either dress up with a slimming pencil skirt or to dress down with
trousers or skinny jeans. It’s true that
I am fairly over-dressed most days of the week by preference – you will usually find me in skirts, blouses,
and dresses about 95% of the time – but on days where I’m just out and
about running errands or enjoying more semi-casual events with friends or
family, a pretty peplum top and a well-fitting pair of dark, skinny jeans is my
combo of choice.
The print in this top is so eye-catching and ideal for
either Spring or Summer. The bright, poppy-red and mauve-pink colors of the
flowers contrast perfectly with the classic black of the interwoven leaves and
the overall creamy, linen background color. The print pairs nicely with red,
coral, mauve or blush, cream, and a host
of other complimentary colors, making it highly versatile. And, if you adore the print as much as I do,
you’ll be happy to know that it’s also available in a fit-and-flare dress,
pencil skirt, and shorts – all of which can either be paired together or
separately for endless mix-and-match combos! This top is not only beautiful,
but extremely comfortable and flattering; just throw it on and go! I’m wearing
size XSP for reference, and the fit is a little more on the blousy side, but
that doesn’t deter from the overall look, in my opinion. I highly recommend it!
To counter the slightly flowy silhouette of the peplum top,
I paired it with dark, skinny ankle jeans. I find that this combo keeps the overall
look more streamlined and balanced in terms of fit. The dark wash is extremely slimming
and flattering, and perfect for a more dressy-casual look. Plus, the ankle-fit elongates
my legs and creates the illusion of height on my petite frame (and I’ll take
any help I can get in that area, haha!) I
sized up for a more comfortable fit, and am wearing size 25P for reference. The
petite sizing works perfectly for me with its 26” inseam, and hits me right at
the ankle as it should.
To pull everything together, I added a sparkly, crystal
statement necklace and pink, suede pumps; it keeps the look slightly more
dressy and feminine.
As always, thanks for reading, and have a lovely evening!
