Thursday Trend: Peplum Dresses

10/18/12 | Alice + Olivia, Asos, Lavin, Soho, Stella McCartney, Thursday Trend

On Saturday night my roommate and I hosted our housewarming party in our New York City apartment.  While we moved in at the end of June, it took us a while to settle in and find an agreeable date. When we finally settled on a time I knew I had to find an absolutely amazing dress to wear and voila a wonderful boutique in Soho had this gorgeous dress with sparkles and peplum, two of my favorites. I absolutely LOVE the dress I wore, I could not stop posing in it all night!

 

This dress was flattering, fun and sparkly and it reaffirmed my love for this style! This week I have been looking around for another one and I am willing to trade the sparkles for something else whether it is a bold color, a zipper, or a partially sheer.  These are my favorite peplum dresses right now: 
                                       LAVIN                                                                 ASOS                                                  
                          Peplum Stretch Jersey Dress                             Peplum Dress with Cut Out Back

ALICE+ OLIVIA                                            STELLA MCCARTNEY
Amanda Long Sleeve Peplum Dress              Peplum Dress with Transparent Yoke

Do you like peplum right now?  I love it in all different colors, patterns, and cuts but I think it is the most flattering silhouette in a dress.  Thoughts?
