Zara top // H&M skirt // Footwork boots // F21 ring // giveaway win necklace via Coccorina
Peplum. At first I was a bit hesistant. I didn’t really like the shape, and with my curveless figure, I didn’t think the trend was meant for me. But after a while I got over my first impressions and started looking out for a cute number that fit my figure. I soon came across this one at Zara. It’s a more “extreme” peplum, a lot wider than the average peplum tops, which makes it more of a statement top and that I like. I love wearing it with my elephant jeans, but, like many bloggers, also on top of pencil skirts. A perfect outfit for a day of fun in the city!
I know it’s a bit hard to see with the overflow of ginger hair covering it, but the necklace I’m wearing is SO pretty. When I saw the giveaway on the Coccorina blog, I knew it’d be perefct to pair with this gigantic cocktailring I bought at F21 a while ago. Never in my life would I’ve thought I’d actually win it! And whatdayaknow, it also plays really well with this peplum top. #doublehappygirl
I hope you’re weekend plans are more exciting than mine. I have tons of schoolwork to do (A procrastinator? Me?) and K is in Lisboa, Portugal visiting an establishment of a company he maybe wants to work for in the future. So, no boyfriend and schoolwork. At least I have the coffee machine?
Happy weekend folks!

First, that last photo is stunning. I love it.
Second, I love the peplum but as the weather is getting colder I'm not sure what to wear over top of a peplum tee. Do you go with a cardigan? A blazer?
Have a stellar weekend with your coffee machine. I will be plugging away at homework as well!
Kultur und Stil says
I was also a bit hesitant with peplum, but the more I saw/see it, the more I like it. And it looks wonderful on you!
The necklace matches indeed perfectly with the ring, it is wonderful, do you know what brand the necklace is?
And well, my weekend is unfortunately pretty "full": tomorrow fleamarket (trying to sell things to have more space in my closet), sunday job meeting and a concert!

Hi, Nikki! I saw your comment on Owls in My Heart. I'm Dawn and I'm hosting the ornament swap that Owls in My Heart posted about. You said you were worried about the shipping times? Well, I wanted to let you know that I have people from all over the world signed up! Japan, Taiwan, Canada, the UK, Spain, etc. There are all sorts of people involved. No matter where you are, as long as you mail your ornament by the 24th, that's fine! I do hope you'll participate! You have nothing to worry about! 🙂 🙂

I dig the texture of that top. (: I still have not jumped on the peplum bandwagon quite yet but it may happen if I find an incredible one.
Shanti says
beautiful post! love the outfit, your boots, and the cobblestones!
Kathleen Lisson says
You look wonderful in peplum!
Katie says
Oh, I'm terrified of peplum! Pregnancy gave me curves that I never had before, and I'm afraid that peplum would accentuate them in a way that I don't want. You, however, look adorable!
kristen. says

Jamie Rose says
Peplums are great for curveless figures! That's why I like the way they look on me, but I only have one skirt with a peplum. I love this top you're wearing. It's so cute on you and you look classy and adorable. Love this!
