This gives me an idea for a few items that I am deliberating on purchasing... I particularly appreciate the dark on dark color contrast &amp; texture in photos 5-7! I wonder too how it might look with a 'collar' necklace? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-the-leather-peplum-top-as-a-layer#post-1005680 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 15:00:56 +0000 Day Vies 1005680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you have succeeded. All of the looks are compelling. I especially love the one with a scarf. Cobalt blue is my favorite color so there is a natural bias there. I adore #5 the scarf and the fact that it is echoed in the tee. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-the-leather-peplum-top-as-a-layer#post-1005638 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 14:29:38 +0000 vibgyor004 1005638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome...the top fits you so well! #7 is my fav and then #5!

It never would have occurred to me to style a leather peplum this way, but I love the effect. My favorite outfits are #2 first, and then #6 - actually, all the ones with the knotted scarves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-the-leather-peplum-top-as-a-layer#post-777750 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 05:53:26 +0000 suzyq 777750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 and #4 but that was just a quick glance for first impressions. Looks like a really nice fit for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-the-leather-peplum-top-as-a-layer#post-777697 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 02:54:30 +0000 Anne Boleyn 777697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I personally love 1, 2 and 5, which seems to be in the minority. The blue top glows against the black, and the scarf in 1 picks up the blue and brightens up the black. The necklace also adds brightness to the dark look. 5 I love because it reminds me of a dragon, in a cohesive way - the black leather, the "scaly" tee and the scales picked up in the scarf. While the tee is busy, it doesn't fight with the leather or the scarf. </p> <p>6 is a little much for me because the scarf is so bright and eye-catching, seems confusing with the top (why polka dots and this pattern AND this leather shape??) and thus detracts from the overall effect.</p> <p>Usually I love burgundy, but for some reason the hard leather looks better with cool tones to my eye. 4 is okay, but not cohesive enough to impress me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-the-leather-peplum-top-as-a-layer#post-777692 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 02:45:42 +0000 Deborah 777692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think you can go wrong with any of these Janet. My personal preference is for the cobalt top layered underneath with a scarf. This is just so beautiful and vibrant. I like the other versions also with the exception of the last one as I feel it just looks too bare on the neck, but that could be because I am used to seeing you in scarves so often:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-the-leather-peplum-top-as-a-layer#post-777569 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 23:43:49 +0000 Raisin 777569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 2 and 6..... Especially 6, that scarf is amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-the-leather-peplum-top-as-a-layer#post-777566 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 23:38:05 +0000 Jjsloane 777566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree - all look good (though I prefer it with a collar or scarf of some sort) 2 is my favorite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-the-leather-peplum-top-as-a-layer#post-777560 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 23:18:34 +0000 Suz 777560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a gorgeous piece, Janet, and looks wonderful on you. I especially love 2, 4, and 7 and agree with Anna that one of those collar things will be fun with it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-the-leather-peplum-top-as-a-layer#post-777545 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 22:48:56 +0000 Jenava 777545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 is my favorite. Since the top is leather and has a streamlined vibe I think I prefer it without a scarf and with a collar buttoned up. I like the necklace tucked under the collar, too. </p> <p>My second choice, with the scarf, would be the minimal infinity-style scarf in 4-5.</p> <p>I'm not fond of #7 so much, because to me it looks styled as a sweater vest but it's leather and it just seems odd. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-the-leather-peplum-top-as-a-layer#post-777544 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 22:46:13 +0000 Maria 777544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #4, #5. The other shirts seem to bunch up around the shoulders. I like the scarf in the 4,5 pictures. #7 looks too severe to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-the-leather-peplum-top-as-a-layer#post-777540 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 22:40:32 +0000 Janet 777540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, and thank you everybody! Thanks to your encouragement and input, I am going to wear this top THIS WEEK! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-the-leather-peplum-top-as-a-layer#post-777538 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 22:39:11 +0000 Janet 777538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JR, I think it would be a lot trickier for something with sleeves. I suppose the sleeve would have to be removed and then re-set after the shoulder seam is taken up? But almost every tank- or sleeveless style top or dress I buy requires this alteration. Sometimes I can consider a petite size in sleeveless tops, but then the overall length is too short. </p> <p>I do sometimes have issues with fitted button-front shirts being a bit too long in the torso too -- as if the darts in the bust are set too low. Then I find the shirt bunching up in the back. This is why I've been embracing the drapier silk blouse lately! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-the-leather-peplum-top-as-a-layer#post-777533 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 22:29:04 +0000 JR 777533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really, you can't go wrong with any of these. But in cobalt, oh my. I love that colour and I love it on you.</p> <p>I have the same problem with shoulders bulging up. I can see getting something like this altered, but would it work for a blouse or something sleeved? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-the-leather-peplum-top-as-a-layer#post-777520 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 22:08:28 +0000 MsMary 777520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them all, especially 7! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-the-leather-peplum-top-as-a-layer#post-777516 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 22:04:51 +0000 morethanbeige 777516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#4, #6, and #2 in that order.

That scarf is from Zara, from our YLF NYC meetup last year. I love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-the-leather-peplum-top-as-a-layer#post-777501 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 21:34:24 +0000 Janet 777501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, thanks, that is a great idea! </p> <p>Ornella and Deb, thanks! It's a good thing it fits so well -- I had to get it altered so the shoulders would sit on *my* actual shoulders and not stick up or bunch up above my chest. A typical alteration for me -- lots of straps are too long on me. </p> <p>Just realized after taking all the pics that I'm not even wearing a good bra (just the minimal support one I wear to bum around the house!), so it will look that much better in the correct one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-the-leather-peplum-top-as-a-layer#post-777500 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 21:33:00 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 777500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 4 and 6.
