Trench Cape & Peplum Hem

Hi Loves! Happy Monday!

Hope you had a great weekend. Of course, the weekend flew by again.

Mine was filled with the usual weekend chores and errands and a couple of events. One of which was a movie night for marriage people at my church. We watched the movie Marriage Retreat and had a decision about it afterwards. It was a night well spent with fellow marriage Christian folks.

I’m sure you’ve seen this skirt around the web and have noticed the Peplum Hem trend. I wasn’t sure if such style of skirt will look good or fit well on an almost petite person like me so I refrained. But, when the skirt finally went on sale, I decided to give it a try. That would make me feel better if I ended up not liking it. Glad to say I love it. It fits perfectly, not an awkward length at all. Fits just like a midi length skirt of dress would. I guess you can control where the hem line hits by wearing it high waisted or otherwise. This successful experiment promoted me to get this one here, although a bit longer and a different fabric/texture.

To compliment the dramatic skirt, I went with a simple tee and paired it with a black and white polka dot pumps. To finish the look, I added this trench cape. I love how the trench end right where the hem begins on the skirt and the fluidity it brings to an otherwise structured look.
