skirt
More than being fashionable, I think it’s really important to just have your own personal STYLE. Rather than trying to wear all of the most fashionable “fads” or “trends” of the moment, I think it’s much more important to have your own style- something that almost defines who you are, almost like your signature. Style, your signature look defines who you are not just by what you wear, but how you are. I would classify my personal style as minimal and chic. I can say that I’m a minimalist in all other areas of my life as well. I’m not a very loud person, and my personality isn’t too loud either. I am embarrassed to admit that I don’t venture out much (i’m not a risk taker) and I love consistency and knowing what to expect. Going out to my fave restaurants do I ever try anything new? Nope. I always want to eat my very favorite meal, because I know it will taste good which is why I’m craving it. I know women who love to wear bright colors and patterns, or a combination of bright patterns for example a hot pink striped shirt with green plaid pants. And do they look good? YES. I hate YOU women who can pull off the craziest patterns and still look on beat and amaze! 🙂 So back on track. When the peplum skirt/dress trend came out not too long ago, I have to admit that I kind of um.. HATED it. I swore that I would never try it EVER. I couldn’t understand why people thought that making your waistline look larger than it really is was a good thing. I never even tried anything peplum on to just see how I felt. Until last month. Why after all this time? I was in a hurry. I had an event to go to, and was trying on a bunch of things. I actually had picked out a simple sleek black pencil skirt, and noticed it was too big. I asked someone to help me, and get me a smaller size along with another top that I had seen. The woman brought me my clothes but she brought me the wrong skirt. I didn’t even know until I tried it on, but as I glanced in the mirror I thought that it looked really different.. kind of weird…but in a good and unique way. I bought the skirt, and I love it.
Lesson learned: be more adventurous. You might surprise yourself.
You might not like the skirt I’m wearing, and that’s okay. I love it. Even though I will most likely never buy another peplum skirt, I love this one, and am going to wear it again and again. There’s something about it that is so different, and I have figured already figured out how to incorporate it in into my personal style.

definitely a happy accident, peplum looks great on you and you’re still keeping true to the minimalist style .. just a little extra detail 🙂 x
thanks steph! xO!
Ahhhh LOVE this post! You’ve hit the nail on the head with every point raised, I’m in complete agreement! Like you, I wasn’t at all keen on the peplum trend when it first hit the scene but I’ve gradually come to embrace it with time and actually recently bought a peplum top (which I’ve yet to wear btw), but yes sometimes items we’re not too keen on initially, do turn out to be some of our favourite pieces. I absolutely love that skirt, glad you gave it a try, fits perfectly into your super chic wardrobe and looks BEAUTIFUL on you! <3 xxx

You are so right, we have to find our style, our voice, and not bend ourselves to love the latest trends. I also am not a fan of peplum and am almost certain it wouldn’t look right on me. I haven’t even tried on one! Good for you for venturing out of your comfort zone! You look fab!

I hear ya….initially I swore off peplum…coloured jeans…you know all those things that reminded of us the 80s? Well…I just bought my first pair of leggings in over 20 years…never say never. Love this look!
~~thanks style! xo!~~
I LOVE the skirt! It’s not an overly ambitious peplum – it’s more subtle. You will get to wear it for a very long time, it looks very classic. I”m just like you with trends – it takes me a while to warm up to some!!

I like the peplum skirt especially with this lovely blouse. This has happened to me when a sales assistant brought me a dress which wasn’t my usual type of style but I tried it on and loved it (and I’ve worn it many times!)

S, your style is one of my favourites! Simple with a touch of class to it. Me, I’m happy in something simple with a slight masculinity to it and that reads Jeans, tees, shirt ;D

I was on the fence about peplum too but I love it. I find it flattering and it makes a woman’s bod more shapely in the right places!

That skirt is amazing – I love the way you’ve styled it. You look so elegant and chic! xo
thank you emma! xo!
Chic & minimal….i think your style is very cool. you’re able to pull off a simple outfit and rock every look! peplums actually flatter womens figure by creating an illusion of making our hips look bigger & our waist smaller…my alibi for owning a lot 🙂
love this one you got, it’s quite different from the usual peplums ive seen. love the simple black & white combo too!
