Top – ASOS
Jeans – New Look last year
Shoes – Minnetonka
It’s funny how taking a picture of an outfit can help you decide if you’ll ever wear it again. This is how I feel about this top from ASOS. It’s just so shapeless! Its meant to be peplum but doesn’t really give a peplum shape as the fabric is too thin. Maybe I should have sized down? I have a similar peplum top in my horse print one (seen here) and I love that! This - meh! BUT it worked well for a day of no meetings and work and an evening at friends. The top is being resigned to the slob around the house draw though.
I think this outfit is fine, the only thing it seems to be missing is something around the neck or shoulders, I’ve been trying to picture a scarf, not sure. Maybe a really long necklace? I would be happy with this as a casual anywhere outfit though
I think you are right – it needed to be layered somehow. I will try it again and re-post. I love layering so maybe thats why it felt wrong because it doesn’t have any.
P.S. I am loving your lippy
Its Benefit lip & cheek stain. Free from a magazine!
I was actually thinking to myself how lovely this outfit was and then I scrolled down to your commentary! I think it’s really fresh and pretty. Although Zarrah may be onto something with suggesting a scarf, and balancing it out with some volume at the neck might make you feel a bit better about the shape of the top. Love the hair and makeup combo too!
I know I should wear make up more often but I can never be bothered – unless I’m getting dressed up!
This is definitely one of my favourite outfit posts! Think it might be the lippy and hair, and how simple it is. I have those tops too and I’m also not sure, although they’re good for layering!
Yes – the tops are good for layering. I saw Kirsty in the black one and I am tempted.
I think this outfit is super cute! And that top is adorable, though I agree with you that the peplum shape could be more exaggerated.
I would have loved a mix between the thicker material ones and this one.
I have to agree that I really love this post…the colours work well on you, and the hair/lipstick/makeup in general I am loving! I think I agree it needs something around the neckline, but also, isnt it one of their ‘soft’ peplums, so therefore meant to not be as regimented? Either way, I think it looks lovely but know the feeling when you don’t quite know what you feel about an outfit so end up not wearing it.
I think I don’t feel comfortable because it makes me feel blob like. If it had been longer and this loose I would have been happier – does that make sense?
