I titled this one never say never because I’d been pretty darn certain that I would never really ‘get’ the animal print thing and that I wasn’t interested in the whole peplum {defined as a short over-skirt or ruffle attached to the waistband of a garment – thank Wiki} trend. Enter the ever cool adn stylish Liv from Wait Until the Sunset and a little bit of clothes swapping and here I am. And I think I’m a little bit in love.
And I know Hubby is too just quietly.
I think the peplum bit just adds a little bit of funky and coverage where it’s needed. And personally being a pretty straight up and down shape really, it adds a waist. I’ve seen the trend over at ASOS with skirts and tops as well as at Virtu with a cute {and versatile} black Keira jacket. Having previously given them a wide birth should they add bulk where it was not needed, I think I might have to revisit them. Did I mention I’m a little bit in love?
Do you do peplum?

Va va voom. I can see why Kel is quietly digging you in this. You’re rocking it, it really suits you and your figure.
Thanks Trudie, I think so too. Might have to investigate this look a little further. 😉
Sassy!

Love it! I wore my first peplum item yesterday and instantly fell in love, but that top you’re wearing is AMAZING, I love the leopard print!
Thanks Natalie, it’s something that surprised me. Loving it though. And easy to wear.
Animal print does nothing for me, but I’m loving that style on you! I would’ve avoided peplum also. I’ll give it a go next time I see it.
I would’ve said the same thing. This was a bit of a pleasant surprise!
I’ve never worn peplum, it just doesn’t look right on me, to me anyway, but that does look good on you.
I still prefer animal prints to be on animals though.
Thanks River. 🙂
I got a peplum top recently, and i kinda love it…. and may need more. This leopard print one is awesome and looks fab on you!
I feel the same way, like it’s growing on me. Big time.
I love this outfit. It looks great on you,
Thank you Jen! 😀
Hot, Hot, Hot! SeriouslyYou should wear this at least once a week! Thanks for linking up again, you are Really Ridiculously Good Looking! x
Well thank you miss Lauren. Gosh your cool! xox
My gods you look sexy! Something about the waist defining, hip flaunting peplum, the perfectly ladylike length of the skirt and the nudie rudie leg lengthening shoes. I am going to buy myself a peplum IMMEDIATELY! x
Well thank you muchly!! Nudie rudie lg part was my favourite. And yes, get thee to peplum. 😉
I am all over peplum right now, in fact I did a recent post about it too! You look great and I love the leopard/peplum combo. The skirt length is perfection.
Well thank you very much Mama. I’d love if you could share your peplum post link with us. Pretty please!
Looks fantastic. I am such a fashion clutz I didn’t even know what a peplum was till I read this post!
Haha. Thank you! Fashion clutz huh. Well, I had to google it, so that makes us about equal I think. 😉
Looking for inspirational peplum outfits to feature on my blog. And yes, I will use yours and link back of course. I’m not sure of the peplum yet. But I still have A/W season to try it. You look great!
Well thank you very much. I know what you mean about peplum, I was very sceptical. Glad I tried it though. I think I’m a tops girl, not a skirts one. That said, I did see a black dress over at ASOS Curve that I like the look of. Haha.
Melissa, you look so awesome in this animal print peplum top and the black skirt is so beautiful. Over the top gorgeous.
Thank you. This was the first peplum item I ever owned and I picked it up from a friend and thought I’d never wear it. I was wrong and wore it often.
