I am thrilled to be a peplum twin with you! :-)<br />Beth Ann, this is an interesting&nbsp; observation. Maybe it is because my wildcards are still on the tame side and just fit well into my wardrobe menagerie? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/homework-peplum-lab#post-1528767 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 14:29:23 +0000 Angie 1528767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it's too short on you, Sveta. The top fits you like it fits me - and clearly - I like the fit!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/homework-peplum-lab#post-1528725 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 13:37:04 +0000 Sara L. 1528725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad to see you're leaning toward keeping it.&nbsp; I think it looks good and especially like the looks with the white bottoms and dark bottoms.&nbsp; #4 is especially fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/homework-peplum-lab#post-1528710 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 13:04:13 +0000 Beth Ann 1528710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK -- very late to your thread, but I'm so glad you're keeping this!&nbsp; I like the looser peplum fit -- it seems modern and has a touch of insouciance, without the bombshell.&nbsp; The stripe keeps it casual.&nbsp; I have one peplum that I love, in a more traditional fit, but it is black, with an embossed floral pattern.&nbsp; Harder to wear to in my casual life!</p> <p>On another note, one of the things I love best about your style is your ability to dress cohesively and consistency without losing the fun of the occasional wildcard.&nbsp; It keeps your dressing lively and creative.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/homework-peplum-lab#post-1528541 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 03:44:12 +0000 Sveta 1528541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, I did not get to reply before - the weekend was extremely busy for me!<br />The side view is the only one which bothers me though. On the other hand I can see that there is too much fabric on the back which is pooling. I think I will try to take it in the back a bit - not to make the top more fitted but to remove that excess of the fabric.<br />The waist of the top is exactly where natural waist is. I have long waist and long hip so even if this is Tall size it still fits a bit shorter on me than on Angie. On the other hand I read in another post that the waist on the peplum top should be at or higher than the natural waist but not lower so it seems to be OK for the style. Maybe my eye has to adjust?&nbsp;</p> <p>Here is the thing: "too short" is my eternal fear because things are usually are too short for me and I am afraid of the look if I have grown out of my clothes. So of course in a case like this I have a hard time to let this fear go and assess the fit without a "poison eye".&nbsp;</p> <p>With the jacket on top it looks like any other top as the peplum part is hidden.</p> <p>Angie, thank you so much for posting your ensemble with this top - I am sure it looked stunning. And I am so touched you created this collection just for me. Love you! So you don't think like some others that it is a bit too short on me?</p> <p>I am leaning <b>towards keeping it</b> after all. I love the quality and it has a fun vibe. Under jackets it looks pretty much like a regular top and as I do not have any striped tops now it may be a nice one. It is actually good for layering: the sleeves are short so they do not interfere with scrunching &nbsp;and they are fitted enough so they do not ride up when you put the jacket on.</p> <p>Thank you so much for working on this together with me - it was immensely helpful for me - and hopefully &nbsp;helpful for somebody else too.&nbsp;<br />Watch out for WIW with this wildhorse when the mercury dips a bit below 30C.<br />&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/homework-peplum-lab#post-1526505 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 16:00:32 +0000 rachylou 1526505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Peplum Lab is awesome! Ok. I'll wear mine with something else besides skinnies... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/homework-peplum-lab#post-1526478 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 15:30:01 +0000 Anonymous 1526478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorites are 2, 4, 7 and 8. I kind of think you might get your jeans hemmed? I like rolled and cuffed jeans especially on tall people and/or long legs but yours are cuffed even worn long and I think it diffuses the boldness of your look.<br />I love everything about the red skirt, the length, the color, the shape.. and I think it looks great with the peplum! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/homework-peplum-lab#post-1526475 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 15:28:00 +0000 Anonymous 1526475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them with the dark bottoms (any), white pants, and wow! it looks great with the trackpants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/homework-peplum-lab#post-1526468 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 15:21:43 +0000 celia 1526468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, thank you for the peplum lab, I am getting so many ideas to wear my own.<br /> I like all the outfits but my preference goes to the ones with white or cream bottoms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/homework-peplum-lab#post-1526439 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 14:48:22 +0000 AviaMariah 1526439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think all these look good but I like #4 the best. &nbsp;If I were looking at this on myself, the side view would throw me off a little. &nbsp;I'm just saying that in case it's doing the same to you. &nbsp;But looking at it on you I think it looks fine and is part of the fun of this top. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/homework-peplum-lab#post-1526434 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 14:43:09 +0000 Angie 1526434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I'm wearing this today for a client app. It's a little cooler in Seattle. It might inspire you. I LOVE my striped Gap peplum top and am waving at my twin with much love</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/finds/collections/?collection=974">http://youlookfab.com/finds/co.....ection=974</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/homework-peplum-lab#post-1526384 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 13:41:46 +0000 Anonymous 1526384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love 1,2 and 7..those are a slam dunk. I think my least favourite is #3 as I'm just not loving the shade of those jeans with it for some reason. In the last photos on #9 I like the culottes pairing very much. I think the top could well be a keeper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/homework-peplum-lab#post-1526374 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 13:34:42 +0000 Angie 1526374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SO MUCH BETTER, Sveta. (I loved the top from the start though - biased of course).</p> <p>Best in #1, 2, 4, 5 and 7 to my eye. Fun little wild card. Wooohooo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/homework-peplum-lab#post-1526359 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 13:17:48 +0000 frannieb 1526359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did not like the peplum on you the way you first styled it and now it looks smashing on you - my favorite is 4 and the mixed bag 9 and with the red skirt it looks fab.&nbsp;<br />Yup it reads a titch short but not an unintentional short if that makes any sense.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/homework-peplum-lab#post-1526325 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 12:52:09 +0000 kerry 1526325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it works nicely in all your renditions! I particularly like it with white bottoms, dark flared jeans and black joggers. My favourite silhouette is the cropped Jean - it's very ala Audrey Hepburn. Can you make any white or dark bottoms cropped like this? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/homework-peplum-lab#post-1526315 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 12:43:15 +0000 Elizabeth P 1526315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I still think it looks short.&nbsp; And I know it's supposed to be short, that's not what I mean, I think it needs to be an inch or two longer on YOUR body. </p> <p>that being said... I do really like it with the red skirt, and dark bottoms.&nbsp; I think the proportion I'm noticing doesn't show so much with those.&nbsp; I also think it's great with the polkadotted skirt.&nbsp; So I think it could find a place in your closet as a fun wildcard.</p> <p>Any chance of seeing it with a jacket on top, a la Angie? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/homework-peplum-lab#post-1526301 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 12:26:53 +0000 amiable 1526301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #1, #2, #4 (my very favorite), #8 and the middle 2 in #9. Looks like a winner to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/homework-peplum-lab#post-1526300 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 12:26:28 +0000 Daria 1526300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I surprisingly like it with the white bermudas in #1 and white jeans in #7. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/homework-peplum-lab#post-1526297 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 12:23:03 +0000 Aquamarine 1526297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it best with the long white bottoms, with 2 slightly edging out 7. I can't articulate why, but the proportions and and the colors work best to my eye, as well as seeming to fit in with your style best. A close third would be 8....the red skirt is unexpected, fun, and flattering. My least favorite would be the white shorts. </p> <p>I think it would be a fun addition to your closet, and a way to play outside the style box for you. I wish the waist were a bit longer...this is most visible from the side. Front-on looks fine to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/homework-peplum-lab#post-1526291 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 12:05:50 +0000 missvee 1526291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it in 1,4,6,7 and 8. And in pic 9 I think it's great with the track pants (far right) and with the polka dot skirt.<br /> This is a fun, different piece and I hope you keep it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/homework-peplum-lab#post-1526282 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 11:44:03 +0000 Karie 1526282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well this is so interesting! I like it best in the following outfits:</p> <p>With white bottoms, at any length - fantastic. Those outfits look crisp, fresh, summery.</p> <p>The flared jeans - now that is outfit perfection. It's the flare on the peplum and the flare on the jeans that just look perfect together.&nbsp;</p> <p>The Gap Res Slim - you rock this look, girlfriend! I have those same pants and now I want the peplum top too.&nbsp;</p> <p>The red skirt outfit - divine! I have a similar red skirt. Please refer to my note above. I'm starting my car and pointing it towards the nearest Gap store.&nbsp;</p> <p>Those are my favorite combinations. The rest look good but those are my favorites. Angie's comment on your other post made me go back and take a second look. It is supposed to be a shorter peplum top. It hits you at the same spot as it does in Gap's pic - about top to mid side pocket. In Angie's outfit pic, it hits her a little lower - about the bottom of the side pocket. Of course, this could just be the style of pant.</p> <p>So what is your decision? Keep or return? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/homework-peplum-lab#post-1526272 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 10:38:48 +0000 retailgirl 1526272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The white shorts look good but the red skirt us the best! All of these are better than your pics from the other day. I love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/homework-peplum-lab#post-1526253 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 09:16:55 +0000 Inge 1526253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's a keeper, Sveta. So elegant and feminine, and, of course, you know I adore the stripes;-)<br />You've found lots of different ways to wear the top, so versatility won't be a problem. I didn't get a chance to comment on the other thread, but to me the fit looks right too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/homework-peplum-lab#post-1526238 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 07:50:33 +0000 lyn67 1526238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow! I love nr 1, 4, and the second look in 9! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/homework-peplum-lab#post-1526227 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 06:59:33 +0000 Deborah 1526227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta it looks good with everything here. &nbsp;Does the peplum sit at your natural waist? &nbsp; My only comment is I think it could be longer and the waist lower BUT we are extremely picky here so take that with a grain of salt. &nbsp;I really see no reason why you wouldn't keep it. &nbsp;Does it feel comfortable? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/homework-peplum-lab#post-1526194 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 05:17:38 +0000 catgirl 1526194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, it works! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/homework-peplum-lab#post-1526191 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 05:12:40 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1526191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Much better! What a difference the styling makes.<br />My favorites here are all the white &amp; cream pants/shorts combinations, both pairs of dark jeans, the pencil skirt (what a knockout look!), and the track pants. <br />Definitely a keeper, in my book.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/homework-peplum-lab#post-1526190 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 05:04:19 +0000 Maneera 1526190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the top with white and cream skinnies, the flared jeans, culottes and the red skirt. It's simple fabulous on you! How're you feeling about it now? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/homework-peplum-lab#post-1526185 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 04:32:59 +0000 Lyn D. 1526185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE this top for you too Sveta!<br />Looks great with everything, &nbsp;but my least favourite is with the white shorts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/homework-peplum-lab#post-1526177 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 03:42:45 +0000 Jaime 1526177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Basically I love it! The top here is maybe a tiny bit short on you (didn't read the other thread so I don't know if anyone else thought so) but looks so stunning especially with dark bottoms and skirts. I wonder what you think Sveta? </p>
