How To Wear: A Modern Peplum

I had a friend ask me recently how I felt about peplums. My response? Cute, but incredibly hard to pull off. The proportions have to be just right. I hadn't seen a longer one until I found this image one a flared hem that hit about at the hips, making it seem a bit more do-able to me. The look is so ladylike to me that I love that this blogger paired hers with worn-out denim, and metallic oxfords for good measure. It's an updated take on the trend that is completely unique to her--plus, more wearable on casual days.
