Layered Peplum

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)

    This looks beautiful on you and I actually really love the asymmetry. I'm having a peplum moment, as well. I've had three blog posts out of ten feature different peplum tops. Whoopsie.

    Love the way you styled the top! I've yet to embrace the peplum trend ~ but both you & Jenn do it well! (Oh, and that bag is awesome! ~ it was one of your NYFW finds, right?)

    I actually love the blazer with the peplum! I think this is one of those trends that's going to be gone quickly, so this is a great example of how you can make it classic – plus you have such interesting details in the necklace and shoes. Gorgeous!

    Gotta tell you. I have been LOVING the neutral lips you have been rocking lately. It changes your face in a way the reds don't. I LOVE IT!

    Hi Lauren,

    I normally wear a 4 in blazers, but had to get this one in an 8! The 6 fit everywhere except the shoulders (mine are really broad), so I would recommend going up at least one size and definitely 2 sizes if you're planning on wearing anything substantial underneath it. Hope that helps! 🙂
