Good Morning readers, how fabulous is the color of this Amanda Uprichard dress?  I swoon over its beautiful and vibrant hue.  I know the peplum trend has been a bit overdone lately, but this color totally drew me in and put me back under the peplum spell.  Amanda Uprichard always produces her collections in bright and colorful hues, which is one of the main things I really love about her line.  Bright-colored tops and dresses are a weakness of mine.

To accessorize the look, I added the calf-hair clutch to give the look a transitional vibe and styled it with a pair a nude heels to elongate my legs.  I kept the rest of my accessories neutral so that nothing would compete with the color of the dress or the leopard print clutch.

P.S. I’ve got some exciting news for you!  I have a big photo shoot with Krystal Bennett of A Pinch of Lovely today for 225 and InRegister’s Avenue Rouge Runway Show this September 26th! Krystal and I will be giving you special coverage all month long followed by live video coverage the night of the show.  You can buy tickets here–>  Avenue Rouge Runway

Hello everyone!  Alright, so I think this darling peplum dress is so amazing that it deserves a three day long post.  I thought I would show it to you piece by piece and build up the anticipation a little before showing you the best part about the dress!  Today is just about jewelry and accessories with one snapshot of the front of the outfit.   Make sure to check back on Tuesday and Wednesday to see the rest!

About the jewelry:  I got those two rings a little over a month ago 30% OFF from Banana Republic because of a promotion they were running that day.   These gorgeous rings just had me hooked and because of their neutral color they go with everything!  As for the necklace,  I can’t even begin to tell how unique and exquisite the glass etched cameo is.  Cameos are such rare timeless pieces that have been around for ages.  I feel the necklace adds a little character to this outfit and complements the class and elegance of the dress.  What do you think?

Have a great day and don’t forget to check back tomorrow!
