Style Collage: Powerful in Peplum

Hello! As I'm sure you know, peplum is a really popular trend in the world of fashion right now! But what should you do to translate the peplum in couture to your everyday wear? Well this week I've decided to work it out! Today I started with a chic black peplum pencil skirt. To continue with the classy scheme, but add some flirtatious charm, I added a gorgeous red halter top to the set. Next comes the shoes. Now shoes can make or break a girl. Sure you want to strut your stuff, but there is such a thing as too much. In my search for the perfect shoes, I came across many different pairs. Patent sky-high pumps where thrown at me, towering wedges were tossed out there, sandals shouting for summer were flung in my direction, at first I was worried that the shoe of my dreams wasn't out there. But finally, after a worrisome search, I found the perfect pair! Some chic suede D&G laid back heels were the ideal shoes for this look! After my shoe search, I was off to a purse to hold all of the goodies a girl needs. However, a big bag did not seem like the right choice. Unlike my quest to find the flawless heels, the purse came to me almost instantly. A classic Kate Spade was what I needed. I added a few things that are essential things to pack, and then I was done! Here is the finished look:
