It was inevitable for me to shoot another peplum top, I like to think these were especially designed for what I like to call 'curves or curvy impaired' Previous post of peplumness here.

I tend to mix looks by teaming contrasting styles together. So my top is very lady like and demure, whereas my pants are like whoaaa, daring, sheer legs! I love pairing opposing combos together to give your outfit that needed 'thing' or to amp up the edge factor. Items to guarantee edge? Power shoulder blazers, clashing prints, biker boots, a strong featured texture/embellishment or pretty much anything in black leather!

Finishing off the look with a rose gold collar and PVC windowed pumps I'm good to go! It was very windy when we shot this so I could've easily worn black stockings underneath to tone it down a notch, yet enough to still retain that edge factor.

My Give Away ends tomorrow! Shy entries (the majority) are most welcome via email! :)

to the rabbit hole

Seeing these floral pants for the first time in store instantly reminded of Alice in Wonderland. I was brought back to the song "All In the Golden Afternoon" as the garden of coloured Roses, Tulips, Daffodils and Posies came to life. The sun came out after a week of pouring rain so I was able to have my own brief moment in the Golden Afternoon!

Floral, patterns, prints and candy brights are still very popular in trousers, jeans and leggings, but not in jeggings lets not go there again! I offset the pants by picking up the violet purple shade in my Steve Madden heels which I love!  And kept it simple with this Peplum top which gives the illusion that I have curves! Yay!
