OOTD: Pleather Peplum

I posted about my newfound love for peplum recently and I'm proud to say that I've incorporated a new peplum piece into my wardrobe. It's another peplum top but it's black with a pleatherish peplum. The best part? It was only $16. Holla!

So, as a "curvy" lady, I wondered if wearing peplum would just make me look bigger because it would emphasize my hips...the widest part of my body. However, I think this sort of works. It over-emphasizes something so it kind of makes the rest look, um, proportionate? Maybe that's just wishful thinking. But I do think the peplum sort of gives me curves in a good way. Whoa...that's a lot body-positive talk there, people. I don't know if I can take it. :) 

So, would you ever try peplum?
