Peplum & OTK!

 Happy new month guys! I can’t believe November is here?!  I feel the older I get, the faster time goes.  My birthday is about 4 weeks away as well as upcoming thanksgiving and Christmas, my favorite holidays.  It’s already starting to feel like the holidays as I attended the annual Christmas fair on sunday.  Anyway, november here usually brings cooler weather.  I was happy to be able to wear one of this season’s trends I’ve had, the over the knee (OTK) boot which I wore with a peplum . 

I went to Forever 21 for a tank top for a blazer but ended up with this embroidered faux leather peplum top.  I gave in and got it simply because I didn’t own a leather peplum top.  I love peplums and I’m not a size 0, nor 14.  Point is, I think they can be worn by women of all sizes, and an all black look is an easy way to wear it if in doubt.

Boots- Calvin Klein {old} (Similar here), Pants- Express (Seen here), Top- Forever 21 (Similar here, here), Bag- Kate Spade {old from mom} (I like here), Earrings- Listed in older post, Bracelet- Listed in older posts, Leather bracelet cuff- BCBG (I like here).

Thanks for visiting & have a great week!

xx,

Yvonne

    Love this outfit. Peplum is a favorite of mine because it helps hide the belly nicely. I don't usually like all black but I must say this looks awesome on you

    PS – so jealous of your gorgeous nice weather. We are knee deep in jackets over here
