What a (pe)plum!

Armani

I have not necessarily been that fussed about peplums before, but that has all changed. I think a top with a peplum might be my must have item for the season.

Oh my days, I love this skirt. It is last season's Jil Sander on the high street. Hubba, hubba! This would be heaven for a Christmas party. How much classier would you look in this outfit with some offensively brash jewellery than all those bright young things squeezing themselves into tiny scraps of sequins?

Pep(lum) Rally

I am aware that there were peplums on skirts at Jil Sander. Lovely brightly coloured skirts.



And what I thought were peplums on trousers. But honestly it didn't occur to me for a second that the peplum might be bought as its own unit, independent of any other item of clothing.



It's like a god-damned body scrunchie.

And you can pay £320 for the privilege.

You know what? I think I'll pass.

I think the official definition of a peplum is when it is at the hip, a sort of over skirt, if you will. Either as part of a jacket or a skirt. So, clever sausage that I am, I have found a dress that has a peplum and a valance. I bet you hate it! I certainly do.

In my not so clever sausage stage, though, I realise that I did post as you. But I have remedied that now, so you won't look crazy. I logged in as you in order to leave a space just in case you deigned to comment, but soon saw the futility of my actions and so posted something as you instead. Tee, hee! I am kidding. Well, a little anyway. It would be delightful if you were to rouse sufficient energy to post something... anything...!! I'm not fussy.

Do love "An Olsen's" leather tregging, though.
