Exaggeration is Necessary...

 

I know I can't be the ONLY one that can never have too much Peplum. I think I have peplum tops in almost every color. I have it on dresses and in skirts. It just flatters my body so much.

In all my peplum pieces, I can't say that I have one like this particular top.

The cascading exaggerated side detailing just gives it such a luxurious and couture type feel

And like all peplum, it has the versatility to be dressed up or down (in my case I went for casual).

Not that it isn't uber fashionable on it's own but I had to add my little elements to make it mine. The belt gives it a edgy layer and the cat ears just brings this all together for me.

When I love something, I tend to get it in a multitude of colors. Luckily for me, it comes in a few.

FOREVER 31

TODAY IS ALL ABOUT PENCIL AND PEPLUM!!!!!.. (and yes I'm 31 years old)

I paired an Aztec inspired (or tribal print) pencil skirt with a peplum top that lends a pop of color to the somewhat drab skirt.  Both the top and skirt are from  FOREVER 21: Plus size sections ( purchased at different times). 

My peep toe pumps were purchased from MACY's and are made by Style & Co. (very comfy)

MAKEUP!!!

I kept it simple today. I used MAC Bamboo in the crease and Patina on the lid. I used liquid liner from NYC to make a defined cat eye.

My blush and bronzer are made by E.L.F Cosmetics (it comes in a palette called St. Lucia: Blush and Bronzing Powder Duo).

My highlighter is Too Faced Cosmetics Pink Leopard Bronzer

My lip is a limited edition MAC Lipstick from the Alluring Aquatic Collection  (Mystical) and Whirl lip pencil.

OHHHH & I've been loving my new brow pencil. I've been using Maybelline Define A Brow in Medium Brown. I am obsessed with it!!!

Even the color of the lipstick tube coordinates with the outfit. Corny, i know!!!!

My cuff today is very interesting. This is the most interesting part of my ensemble in my opinion. I got it so long ago that I don't remember where. It has to be over 7 years old.

Hope you all enjoy this look as much as I did putting it together. Happy THURSDAY!!!!!
