Presh peplum
Peplum tops are so sweet and feminine. But the best part? They’re flattering on everyone. If you’re curvy, it will draw eyes away from your tummy and down to the pretty ruffle. If you’re on the thinner side, it will give you more of a shape. Love this with a basic blazer and your favorite jeans come fall.
