i warned you of my obsession with this silhouette.  my summer couldn’t possibly go on unless i get some more peplum in my life.  it’s practically a basic necessity.  slightly more important than eating, but not quite as essential as breathing.  mom, dad, i don’t know why you’d ever bother worrying about me, i obviously have adulthood mastered.  i should probably just retire while i’m still ahead…

and to the person on a scooter (motorcycle?) who yelled my name while whizzing past us during this photo shoot, please step forward.  i’m curious as to who it was behind that dark mysterious helmet and wish to apologize for the fact that i only had time to glance in your general direction with squinted eyes and confusion.

    The peplum looks great on you! I really want to try this trend but haven't found one I can really get behind yet, but your peach number is super pretty.

    I obviously need more peplum in my life – this blouse is too pretty! [Alas, I just put my credit card in a block of ice for safe keeping, so I guess I'll just have to live vicariously through you!]

    Wow, such a stunning outfit Alicia! This peplum blouse is gorgeous, love the color and print. I finally got my first piece of peplum as well – a white top from Zara. It's gorgeous and I am hooked on the shape. So flattering!

    You look like such a classic beauty in these pictures, the whole look is pretty perfect 🙂
