I have recently discovered that peplums are very versatile; they pretty much go with anything. Here, I combined the trendy lace skirt by Ann Taylor and a peplum top by Calvin Klein, also seen here in my previous post. I am also wearing my favorite pair of peep toes; the Bombay platforms by INC International Concepts.

Happy Mother’s Day and thanks for following!

Today started off raining, but it was beautiful and sunny by mid-afternoon. I went with a tunic, leggings and hunter rain boots. I bought the tunic from Macy’s about three years ago. The jacket is Landry by Shelli Segal; it is a fairly recent find from Nordstrom rack. The jewelry is handmade from real pods and shells; I bought it from a crafts market in Harare- Zimbabwe (home).

Recently, I have added a couple of printed pants and peplum tops to my closet. When I tried my first pair of printed pants a couple of months ago, I felt overwhelmed by the bold prints, so I went with this pair; it has small geometric patterns in subdued shades of green/blue and black. However, when I saw the bolder & brighter springy prints on the Ann Taylor clearance rack a week ago, I instantly fell in love, so I went an extra mile. If you are hesitating getting these trendy pants, I recommend starting with small prints in dark colors, it only took me a few wears to acquire a taste for this style.

Today I am wearing a printed multi-colored V-neck tie back empire waist maxi dress by Chelsea & Theodore. This was a real steal from ideeli.com at $29.99 down from $98. I paired it with Tory’s tumbled leather Thora Sandals for a laid back weekend look. I am really in love with the bright ethnic-like print on this dress, hope you like it too!
