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.

Fall Type Maxi

 

During the Spring/Summer Season, there was this one dress that almost everyone seemed to either have or want. I, like the rest, was totally enamored with that specific dress. So, of course, I bought it. But I never took the chance to photograph it because, as we already stated above, everyone had it.

I LOVED IT SO MUCH, that I went back and got it in another color. The dress just looked and fit amazing on me. So why not?? However, I never got a chance to wear it during the Spring/Summer Season.

So, while delving into my closet, I came across it again. Still baring it's gitionline.com tag. I started thinking quickly, how can I make this cold weather appropriate?? So I tried it on again and fell in love with it all over!

The sleeves already gave me the coverage I needed on my arms for the cold-weather, but I added a leather layer. For extra protection. I chose the peplum styled PU simulated leather jacket from Forever21 to give an exaggerated Oomph around the waist. And then I topped it off with my favorite street find, this AMAZING HAT.  I kept the boot really simple but they are calve height.

 

*Style Notes: I choose the dress with the darker background because it fits into fall a little better for me. And I kept my makeup very warm and neutral to bring an added layer of Fall Realness.

Maxi Dresses just work for all seasons. All it takes is a simple re-arranging of accessories and layers and you can definitely make your favorite SummerTime staple, your Fall "IT' Piece.
