3 VERSATILE WAYS: FLORAL PRINT PEPLUM TOP

Who is up for a peplum pep talk with a triple threat?

While peplum slowly took over the world years ago, i am sure you will agree with me it is a wardrobe staple today, and i am sharing three versatile ways to wear it. Who knew a top with a little flare at the bottom can be so stylish. I love this particularly peplum top by Bella D because of -

1. Its beautiful, rich, bold floral prints.

2. The darts that help give it a lovely three dimensional shape in the middle of the top which makes it so flattering.

3. Its asymmetrical hemline.

LOOK #1: MAKE IT LONG AND FLARED
Styled with a pair of black wide leg pants couldn't be more safe. It is very chic, easy and quick to put together. I can swing it from a formal look to a lunch date, and even straight to a more subdued evening look in one day. While i did  opt for a pair of silver pumps i believe a pair of open toe heels with fresh pedicured nails will be just as perfect.

LOOK #2: MAKE IT SHORT AND FLARED
Let's be honest, short is in and it will always be, but what if it is flared too? The beauty of pairing a peplum top with a skater skirt is the fact that you can achieve two great looks from it- The top can either be tucked into the skirt or left out to layer over it, giving it a double flared layered look. I also do enjoy mixing prints so i went all out for this look. I would wear this to any kind of date, the movies, dinner, meetings, garden parties, name it, it works.

  Then layered it over the skirt and it somehow looks like a dress....

LOOK #3: MAKE IT STRAIGHT
I have always liked the idea of a peplum top styled with a pair of straight denim pants. Probably even with a pair of distressed knee cap jeans. In my case, i am styling it with a pair of white denim pants but then i put a little spin on it by throwing on a denim jacket for those chilly evenings. I believe it dresses it down without it all looking down with the help of a pair of  open toe heels.
I will admit this is the most slimming look of all three.
