I'm friggin' cold almost all day usually (my bosses even bought me my own space heater), so wearing a short sleeved shirt at any time from October to June is not likely to happen for me. I'm in the midst of my own capped sleeve peplum and am hoping to find a way to wear it when it's done. I'll be watching to see what you come up with. <br />Trumbelinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10145834807214647985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757733747822094075.post-13586263738629757572012-10-30T09:51:00.422-07:002012-10-30T09:51:00.422-07:00Adorable!!

I love the peplum trend and it's great that it's sticking around for a while. You will get a lot of use out of this top now!<br /><br />Callie<br />www.coffeeandcardigans.comCallie - Coffee and Cardiganshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07717331796524436480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757733747822094075.post-78695846334578100952012-10-30T08:36:46.441-07:002012-10-30T08:36:46.441-07:00you could go turtle neck under it - black turtle n...you could go turtle neck under it - black turtle neck and black skirt for exaple. I also saw this great styling with a button down shirt under it: http://pinterest.com/pin/118993615125726400/<br />with yours I would go plaid in the same color tone, or a contrasting fall hue. And for something to wear on top, a cropped cardigan that doesn' cover up the flounce would work... <br />Nice job on the refashioning!Petite Josettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04214232297194090552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757733747822094075.post-79548674216548514362012-10-30T08:10:06.057-07:002012-10-30T08:10:06.057-07:00gorgeous love it! :)

Now I can just lop off a section, re-hem it, and call it a peplum top! I'm excited to get going on that refashion.Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03155961748607627711noreply@blogger.com
