i’m wearing: h&m dalmatian peplum top (check your local store), scalloped black shorts (similar and less than $30), various bracelets, michael kors watch, zigi soho wedges and my new kooba bag.

i never really thought i was going to hop on the peplum trend train until my girl kimberly shared this top on her blog. even when i brought it into the fitting room with me, i didn’t think i would like it as much as i do. i guess it is just the peplum skirts/dresses i just never really envisioned myself in. i’ve also never been a big fan of shorts on myself but i keep buying them too so go figure!

p.s. how many peplum tops can one girl have? because i have this one and this one sitting in a cart. oOoOo…and i’m thinking about getting this faux leather one since this one i originally wanted doesn’t ship until nov!!!

    I actually need one for this Dalmatia-themed I am organizing!

    p.s. You are so stylish and beautiful!

      hi ml, the dalmatian peplum top was only $14.95! =)

    I am going to be honest with you! When the peplum trend first came out, I thought it was a bit too 80s for my taste, but it grew on me after awhile. I added 2 new peplum tops from H&M for Fall, you’ll see them in an upcoming post.

    As for the jacket in today’s post? You probably didn’t see it at your last H&M visit because I bought it in March of 2011, and it was only available at select H&M locations. Only the Michigan Avenue store in Chicago got it.

    I need that top! I saw Kimberly purchased it too and I’ve been dying to get to H&M ever since! This weekend, I’m there!! (and hopefully it’s still there too!)

    This outfit is so cute! I love the scalloped short. (I’ve been a fan of scalloped edges ever since I saw the Chloe bikini). And thank you for the Old Navy link! Totally buying.
    Gorgeous as always.

    Hi, just an FYI I actually ordered that peplum top from piperlime on Aug 13th and it said it was going to ship the end of November and I just got an email it will be shipping Aug 26th! So don’t be afraid to get that one if you like it 🙂

    I am living your leather peplum life! I saw the one from Piperlime backordered until Nov. 5 as well. So, I ordered the one from Urban Outfitters. Got it today. It fits great, looks and feels like leather. I ordered the size I usually wear and it’s true to size. I just didn’t want to miss out on the leather peplum trend!

    This top looks great on you! I have yet to purchase one …they just does not seem to fit me right. I did order one from The Limited and I am hoping that I will like it.

    I can see why you got this top – very pretty (you look stunning in this outfit Jenn) and it will last you through fall. I have one peplum top (white) but several dresses with peplum attachments. Some are from Reiss about five years ago when I think the trend must have been popular? How happy was I when it came around again 🙂
