When getting dressed up for girls night or date night, I usually gravitate towards skirts & dresses, but lately have found myself wearing shorts more and more (mainly because they are so comfortable). And while I typically don’t think about “layering” this time of year, I really love the idea of a collared button-down underneath a peplum top (last seen here). Since these pieces are both so lightweight, I decided it would work just as well for summer with a sleeveless blouse…especially when the collar is a bejeweled one worth showing off.
I really like how you layered the button down underneath this peplum top and of course I love the jeweled details, it really adds that extra touch!
Xo,
Sincerely Miss Ash
absolutely loved this layered look! you're right; never consider for summer because it's so warm but these pieces pair perfectly.

What a pretty look! The neutrals paired with the pops of color work beautifully together. I love how you layered the tops and added in a bit of fall via the colors and fabrics. So inspiring as always Kim!

I love peplum! I like how I am continuing to see it in the fall/winter collections so we can wear it year-round!

I love a collared shirt under a peplum. It's just so classy! All of mine are long sleeve though. I don't think I have any sleeveless. You look so pretty!

I would have never thought of peplum as a layer piece, but it looks so lovely! The colored shirt adds the perfect touch of glam!

You are the queen of layering collars underneath tops Kimberly! I would never think to do it.
PS I am loving your hair this length, do you think you will keep it short?

I'd never think to layer a collared shirt with peplum, but I love how they look together! Your jeweled collar is perfection!
You look beautiful. The shoes are a fabulous offset for this combo. You have a great eye for style, fashion, and color. Shorts look great with your toned legs!!! Great post
So chic! I love it.

I love the way you layered the two tops! They compliment each other perfectly and adds a touch of fun flair to the outfit!
Still love that top! It goes great with shorts, even a colored pair. I have that clutch in grey, it holds so much!

If you hadn't told me that top was actually two pieces I wouldn't have known! It's simply smashing, especially with the shorts.
