Peplum is a ruffled details attached to the waistline on a skirt, top or dress.  
This spring trend is super-flattering for the curvy girls like myself. It puts a lot of emphasis on your hips.


Be careful with  size of ruffled detailed because it might bring too attention to your mid section.


Have fun with peplum trend with a vintage dress, skirt or top.

It might be snowing or raining outside your door but spring is just around the corner.   I am looking forward to upcoming spring/ summer trends. One of my favorite spring trend would be the short suit.
It gives me a  chance to incorporate this look into my own work wardrobe.


 If you are looking for  formal office appropriate suit,  check the hemline before your purchase. Please avoid wearing the boxy look. A well tailored short slightly above  the knee, blazer and heels will help  you master this look.


For relaxing environment,  you  should wear the  loose fitting short  and  well  tailored  blazer jacket for a cute flirty look.
