Oh My Peplum!

This spring being chic means bringing back a very feminine side to fashion. We have all seen the adorable pastels and sherbet colors rock the runway, and of course, the color blocking seems here to stay. Yet my favorite spring trend is most definitely peplum. What I love about this style is that it is so versatile. Pair a peplum piece with some neutral colors and you are totally office chic. Glam it up with accessories and a smokey eye and you will be sure to turn heads on a date or girl's night out.

Sometimes curvy girls shy away from this style, but all you need are a few key pieces of advice to pull this look off -

1. If you are concerned about the peplum making you look more "hippy" than you already are, pair it with something fitted at the bottom. A body con skirt, leggings, or anything in black will give you a more slender appearance and round out the extra curves peplum may give you

2. Statement piece necklace will draw the eye upward and there will be less focus on the wider frame peplum can give you

3.Spanx. Hey...everyone needs a little support now and then, right? Spanx or other body shapers will cinch you in and the extra curves won't be as bad. Don't be embarassed about wearing Spanx. There are different types, fits, sizes and even the skinniest of Hollywood beauties sport them.

4. Be confident!
