| Peplum – Forever 21 | Skirt – ASOS | Pumps – BCBG | Purse – Ralph Lauren |
I have been wanting to try a peplum and midi skirt together for awhile but I think I missed the mark on this outfit. I loved how it looked in person, but after reviewing these pictures I have concluded the following: my skirt should have been a little shorter and fuller. I think having a fuller skirt would have added a nice dramatic effect and a shorter hem would have made me appear taller. I do love the pink and leopard which adds a little something to the simple black and white.
So what do you guys think? Does this outfit need to be worked or do you love it as is?

It's a slight miss for me….love the colour combination, but I can't help but think a midi pencil skirt would have been better…..
but then what is fashion without experimenting?! a tiny blip on your streak of many hits! x

Lol, thanks for being honest I appreciate it.
Love it I think a statement necklace could have made it pop.
But I like black and white so lol ..
I honestly think that you look great! I love everything about the look. Simple business chic!
I don't know. It might look fantabulous the way you are envisioning it. BUT, you look really nice as it is in the pics.
I like the outfit and the proportions as is! But I think a little jewelry would pull it all together!
I think it looks great. Just need some jewelry.
I like it but I do think Peplum tops look better with straight skirts.
I LOVE it!
I love the combination of colors. A fuller skirt would've given the look even more wow factor. You look great regardless.
I like the color combination of this, but a midi skirt I don't think would go well either, since the flare of the top is what so great about the peplum. A pencil skirt would have made this outfit just pop :). I'm still learning the do's and don't of fashion, so please don't take my words to heart lol.

I actually think it looks great! I would never think to put peplum with a midi skirt like this. Usually i would do peplum and a pencil skirt but I think you rocked this!
I saw the look and was thinking hmmmmm, you do look really pretty, but as others have said it's a small miss, the A-line of the skirt kind of takes away from the peplum top to me. Hey we are all allowed a fashion miss here or there, shot I know I have many, LOL!!!

it's a hit – to me it's a graduated peplum look and i like it. now your body language doesn't own the outfit and that may be why you think its a miss. but i like it.
Definitely a HIT!!!! You never miss. I'm too self-conscious to wear a peplum top / dress, but the style is great! Love the pop of color (pink), and leopard shoes are my fave!!! 🙂
This combination looks perfect! <3

ehhh it's a cute outfit. Peplums were originally kinda made for pencil skirts but you are entitled to switch it up as long as it still looks good
Thanks for letting me know it's okay to try new things.
Thanks Maggie!
Lol I do miss all the time! You should definitely give peplum's a try.
I like the idea of it being a graduated look. I wasn't too sure about it and when the photographer commented I looked like and old lady it threw me off, lol.
I love these shoes! Try in store first because I only paid $25.
Lol thanks Carsedra.
Thank you Fatima!
That's the thing there aren't any do's or don't. Do what you want and don't let people make you feel bad for it 🙂
Thanks Tasha!
Thank you Aleia!
Thanks Sing!
Thank you!
Thank you Pat!
Thank you Melissa and I will re-work this look and post the update look.
Thank you!
Exactly! Fashion is about taking chances, people are too stuck on what they "should do" and "should wear".
Thank you Moe!
I love this look but think you're right, a fuller skirt would look really nice. And I LOVE the shoes! 🙂 xx
Its basically all about trendy accessories and that is what women bother the most which is a good thing because fashion should be the one that is in trends.

You look great!! I love the outfit. I typically don't gravitate to peplums but this look is stunning!

Amazing!!! I love going to Good Will for my blazers too!!! Which one do you go too?
How about the only thing I'm going to try this look Sunday. I'm always inspired to try something new and if it doesn't work I can do it over the next blogspost. You know how we do! I don't do belts a lot so I probably would have added a statement necklace but I also know you and you aren't a fan of a lot of baubles.
Thanks for mentioning me in the post! I'm always excited to see what you find. I think we should hit up a few spots together soon when there's a long weekend. Please wear that red and black wrap dress again soon!
This is one of my favorite looks by you. I ironed this dress a week ago to wear and didn't. Totally forgot that I was going to bite off you and style it with these sandals instead of my animal print ones. I'll line this look up for next week at work. I'll giver you a bold lip instead of a belt. Cool?
