PEP TALK

One of spring’s hottest trends is still holding strong for fall and this sassy silhouette cannot be ignored. If you haven’t done so already ladies, it’s time to spice up your fall wardrobe with the flirty, feminine, fabulous Peplum! For those of you who don’t already know, a Peplum is an exaggerated hem typically attached to a blouse, jacket, skirt or dress. 

This sexy silhouette originated in Ancient Greece and continued to make its mark on the Victorian Era as well as the 1940s and 1950s. 

Now in 2012, the Peplum is back yet again to flatter our figures and hide our flaws. This sexy frill helps accentuate a woman’s waistline and curves, enhancing a defined hourglass shape. For ladies with petite waists, look for a smaller peplum, which will show off your slim figure and add a little volume to your hips. If you have large hips, look for a larger peplum that will hide this feature and make you look slimmer. When it comes to color, busty babes should look for peplum tops in dark colors, while bootylicious beauties should aim for tops in light colors to balance your proportions. Peplum tops are typically matched with pencil skirts, but can also be worn with sleek trousers, distressed denim, and shorts. No matter how you wear it one thing’s for certain: This sexy frill is here to stay!
