Mondern Day Vintage
If it’s one thing I love, it’s a fabulously bold peplum. This stunning Aqua Helena Bow Front Tailored mini peplum skirt from ASOS has been a hit amongst many stylish fashion bloggers such as the sweet Jamie of The Fancy Teacup, the fabulous Blair of Atlantic-Pacific, and the classy Layla of Chic Chef (from left to right).
When I purchased this skirt late last year, I was contemplating on pairing it with a kelly green top, but after seeing it so stylishly color-blocked by these ladies, I wanted to see how it would look against a basic black top. Black is such a universal color and can be paired with anything but sometimes can come off as too simple. With that in mind, I decided to have some fun accessorizing with pearls, flower pins, a statement ring and a pair of sheer vintage gloves…
“I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and… I believe in miracles.” -Audrey Hepburn

Wowza!! You look stunning! I love the color combos too and have seen this skirt color-blocked but I like that you tried something new and different. I especially love the flowers and the gloves. It’s adds a touch of elegance to your outfit!
Thanks Tori, so sweet of you!
I really like the skirt paired with the color, but with the black shirt…i simply LOVE it! I think it makes it more of a classic look with the black top. This is something that you can wear everywhere from work to church even to class!!! I would defintely rock this look!!!!! Go KTR!
