spring/summer 2012 trend: peplum

while i had posted about the peplum back in december...read about it here for more detail...it is still a very strong trend for this spring/summer season...

while many women tend to shy away from any "bulk" around the hip area...this beautiful trend can give you a fabulous hourglass figure...so work it!  if that is your fear...look for a fitted bodice and sleek pencil skirt underneath...with a slight peplum detail...voila!

if a dress is not your fancy...look for a fun jacket or blouse with a peplum detail...just be sure to pair it with a pencil skirt..or anything with little volume...

flirty and fun...
