One peplum, four outfits

 

If you've looked in a fashion magazine in the last few months, chances are, you've stumbled across a few peplum tops. 

And if I were really in a betting mood, I would also venture to guess that you have one (or even a few) garments with a peplum accent in your closet right now. 

So, if peplums are so popular, why does it seem that only obvious outfits (paired with a body-con skirt) always seems to come up when researching online? 

Take a look at the outfits I've put together as alternatives to the tried-and-true (or is it tired-and-true?) peplum silhouette.
