\u00a0They&#8217;re <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shoedazzle.com\/index.cfm?action=home.main\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Scene by ShoeDazzle<\/a> so I got them for a phenomenal price. \u00a0My tote on the other hand, by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tedbaker.com\/us\/Womens\/Accessories\/Bags\/c\/womens_bags\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ted Baker<\/a>, is the epitome of ladylike. \u00a0I like the way the two pieces complement and contrast at the same time. \u00a0The slim fit black pants are by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.anntaylor.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ann Taylor<\/a>. \u00a0Ann Taylor makes good quality, great fitting pants and I swear by them because almost every style comes in petite, so I don&#8217;t even need a tailor! \u00a0(They also come in long lengths for taller gals.) \u00a0The hot pink peplum was an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hm.com\/us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">H&amp;M<\/a> sale score. \u00a0I&#8217;m obsessed with the color and generally like peplums for the curve accentuating effect. \u00a0The amazing Swarovski crystal necklace was my very first <a href=\"http:\/\/www.baublebar.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BaubleBar<\/a> purchase (years ago) but it remains one of my favorite necklaces to this day and people often comment on it. \u00a0The one point I&#8217;d like to make about this look, is that the easiest way to wear a voluminous peplum top is to balance out the proportions with something slim down below, like skinny jeans or a pencil skirt. \u00a0Don&#8217;t go for full and full, because it&#8217;s a lot harder to pull off (unless you have the proportions just right). \u00a0So there you have it, some outfit inspiration for the day. \u00a0Happy Saturday everyone!!
