Fall 2013 Fashion Trends: Peplums

Peplums continue to be a major trend this fall. And why not?  They're super flattering and can look retro and feminine or sleek and modern depending on the particular styling.

Blouse: LOFT Petites (Similar here)

Blazer:  The Limited

Today, I paired my lace peplum top from last fall with a simple pair of black pants.  

Pants:  The Limited (Similar here)

Purse:  Express

I like how the basic pants and champagne tuxedo blazer downplay and streamline the overt femininity of the blouse, making it a great balance for work.

Shoes:  Target (Available here)
