Ruffled Peplum


It's safe to say that the peplum is the hottest - and the most contentious - of summer trends. The retro style is universally adored on the runway, while women scratch their heads when attempting to wear it in real life. The problem with peplum? Adding extra fabric and bulk at the hips is not something many women are interested in trying. But look at how the ruffles on this skirt add extra oomph to an otherwise simple outfit!

    1. You'd be surprised! I wasn't wild about emphasizing my hips and tummy, but I felt the peplum might have actually hidden my..er...assets.
