When I saw my blogger friend, The Stylish Housewife, wearing this peplum top (here), I went a little crazy and left a more-serious-than-sarcastic comment about wanting it for myself. So Danielle from Le Lapin D’or, being the sweet girl that she is, took pity on me thought it would be fun to send me one, so you could see two different ways to style the same top! Jenn lives in California, where they are experiencing a massive heat wave…but here in NY, things have cooled down quite a bit. As much as it killed me to cover up the sequin shoulder detailing, I had to put a blazer on so I wouldn’t freeze when heading outdoors. I actually love the layered look it creates with the peplum peeking out – and because of the creamy ivory color, I can see it becoming a great basic piece to wear under my coats & jackets this fall.
What I’m wearing:
Monteau Los Angeles top c/o Le Lapin D’or (here; runs small so size up – for reference, Jenn & I are both wearing mediums), Forever 21 trousers (last seen here; similar), Mossimo blazer (here; runs extremely small – I went up 2 full sizes), Guess pumps (on sale here), Target earrings (similar), Forever 21 necklace, Zara bag (here), Ray-Ban wayfarers (similar)
