Peplum: pep-plum {pep*luhm} – a short full flounce or an extension of a garment below the waist, covering the hips. A short skirt attached to a bodice or jacket. (dictionary.com)
This is a big thing. A HUGE thing. It’s so big you’re going to need more than one…more than THREE! Just trust me, you should definitely go out (or stay in and click) to purchase something, anything peplum! This is me, telling you to do this. I am NOT one for trends nor am I anti-trend. Just a lover of classic pieces that will last more than one season. Kinda thinking peplum will be a classic thing here.
Curvy girls…this is something trendy we’ve been waiting on! A peplum top is going to disguise the things we don’t want on display while accenting the sexy curve of our hips. Really can’t ask for more in one article of clothing. From tops, to dresses, to skirts, to coats, to jackets, we have lots to choose from. You can wear it with anything and with any look as you can see below. To save you a few clicks or parking spot fights, I went ahead and did a teeny tiny bit of shopping for you…

Would you like to know something funny? Sure ya do! While typing this post, spell-check wanted to change “peplum” into “plummer” ever so badly! Then, I got to wondering, a peplum top would actually be perfect for a plummer! It would totally take care of the dreaded “plummers crack”! Did someone invent this style with a plummer in mind? Imagine that! This spelling fiasco also made me want to create a program specifically for fashion. That way, when I type “peplum” I won’t end up with “plummer”.
Happy Shopping!
