Much like my slower-than-most adoption of the midi skirt, my love for peplum tops has been nearly non-existent. Again I think it stems from my body type, but I’ve struggled over the past year(s) to find a version of the top that doesn’t look totally ridiculous on me or make my torso look even shorter. Then, this cream eyelet peplum top from BCBG came along and {sort of–still warming to the idea of these} changed my mind. The combination of the intricate pattern, clean color, and ‘small’ peplum, detailing caught my eye and led me to take it in with me inside the Bloomingdale’s dressing room. While it’s a little (ok, quite a bit) more than I like to spend on tops, the quality of the material has proven to be worth the steeper price tag. I’m actually considering the addition of it’s black counterpart to my closet now that it is on sale!
For a more casual take on what could be viewed as a ‘dressier’ top, I paired it with some medium wash skinnys, a pair of neutral fringed sandals, and a simple mini tote. I’ve also worn this to a work conference along with my dark khaki cigarette pants, classic nudepumps, and one of my favorite office totes. I’m also currently planning to pair the top with these boyfriend shorts for a stop at the Farmer’s Market and brunch this weekend. Now that I’ve take a small step into the peplum world, I’m hoping to add more pieces like this into my wardrobe! xox.
