Spied: Striped Peplum Tee


I have been really cautious about accepting the peplum trend. It can go wrong in so many ways - the top is too fitted, the bottom is too flared, it's too structured, it's too short, the waist is too high or too low. I admit that all those variables freak me out, but I have recently come around to peplum if used well (and Elaine has been doing it well.)

I spotted this striped peplum tee for a steal and just had to share.


So striped peplum top - $9.99 (Orig. $20.00)

The proportions are perfect & the curved effect of the striping is just so flattering, don't you think?

I also really like this similar peplum tee in floral.

  1. I snagged that khols floral peplum back during an after christmas sale! I can't wait for warmer weather to wear it with some sandals and a cute belt :)

  2. Great find! I feel the same way about peplums. I found a couple for $2 last week at Penney's, which ended up being free with the $10 off $25 purchase so I figured it'd be worth a try. :)

  3. They seem so...maternity-wear to me. After having two children and not having to wear maternity garb now, it just still doesn't make sense to me.

    1. I can see that, but they don't read maternity to me. I think because they define the waist (that beautiful thing you haven't had a chance to show off while pregnant) they are a great solution to postpartum dressing.

  4. I love this style. Just FYI, a similar one recently popped up on the Target website in 6 differnt colors and prints:

  5. I love the peplum trend but I really wish they would make the bottom skirt part of the tops a tiny bit longer. I always find they hit me at a weird spot on the hips that is just unflattering

  6. they're all too short on me. i saw ONE at target, a lace one, that i looooved. but for the most part, i wish the waist (before the flare out) hit way lower. #tallgirlproblems

    1. And I am so short waisted, that they can hit too close to the hip. #shortgirlproblems
