Peplum + Stripes

 Marc by Marc Jacobs "ellsworth"peplum dress, J.Crew syndey patent sandals, Fendi sellaria cat eye sunglasses, Tory Burch metallic wrap logo stud bracelet

Peplum dresses, skirts, and blouses have been on trend for a couple of years but lately this style is everywhere. Although I was slightly hesitant at first to add extra layers of fabric on my hips,  I instantly fell in love with this dress, a combination of a peplum taffeta skirt and a normandy blue and red cotton striped top. And since the peplum and stripes are both the "pop of drama" in this outfit I kept my accessories minimal and understated. The dress is also versatile (and warm) enough to wear for a casual night out in the fall and winter. Just add a pair of boots or tights and heels and a long coat to create additional looks with the dress.  I wore the dress on Monday for Lucky Magazine's fashion and beauty blogger (FABB) conference in Santa Monica.
