1 item, 3 ways to wear it: The Peplum Top


1 item, 3 ways to wear it : peplum Top


The word “versatility” means capable of many uses. Recently, I have been using this concept to guide me whenever I’m thinking of purchasing anything. Lately, I have been able  to resist buying impulsively, and ask myself everytime ; 1. "I'm I going to utilize this item a lot?" and 2. "Do I have something similar already?" Therefore, I thought it would be awesome to start a new segment, called 1 item, 3 ways to wear it. I’m hoping to do it on Mondays twice a month or monthly. The ability to full your closet with versatile pieces, ultimately allows you to stay stylish, creative and utilize your closet. Therefore, in the end saving you a lot of money. If you choose your pieces wisely, you don't need to buy more.

Today I’m featuring a peplum top courtesy of  Express Clothing . Peplum tops have been dominating the runways for multiple seasons and have found their way into the closets of many fashionistas' around the world. I love this one because it's a neutral colour (white & grey), and has a interesting floral pattern great for the spring and many seasons to come. However, it also has a hint of neon on it's zipper, making it fun too. I paired this peplum top with different looks consisting of pants only because it’s still very cold here in Toronto, but it can be paired with a pencil skirt, full skirt or shorts to make endless outfit combos! 
See the three ways I styled this top below!

This look is a fun one, hence why it's called play day. The weather that day was really warm and fit to show a little arm action .I partnered the top up with these pretty lilac pants to create a very causal and care free look. I added a belt to add some more interest.

Pairing some distressed jeans, heels, and a bright blazer gives this outfit a mellow but more polished look than the first outfit. Great for a lunch date with friends or some weekend adventures.

 Outfit #3
All white trend, Peplum Top

 This business/ corporate look plays on the all white spring trend. However, the grey and the pattern in the peplum top does a great job in adding some more texture and dimension to the look. I also added some red accents to add a pop of colour.
