Good Morning readers, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Mine was full of packing and preparing for my new house!  Make sure to follow me on Instagram @Jennifarrr to see pictures of my new humble abode!

Alright, so if you’ve been following Haute Off The Rack for a while then I’m sure you’re fully aware that I’m huge fan of leather!  You also must know that I love to try and incorporate current trends into my look.  Well, this past spring peplums began blooming just about everywhere and people were picking them like wild flowers.  Even as a huge fan of the trend, I thought for sure that all the rage over peplums would fade away with the leaves of Fall, but after seeing this to-die-for faux leather top I quickly changed my mind.  Not to worry ladies!  It looks like peplums are here to stay so keep calm and peplum on!

**Note:  The word peplum and the actual structure of a peplum remind me of a flower because of the way it flares outward and gives the outfit more definition like in the same way that a flower blooms outward and makes a plant more appealing.  That may sound silly, but I just thought I’d explain why I was referring to peplums as if they were a type of flower in the paragraph above.

By the way, I love how the faux leather material gives this peplum top an edgier and bolder look instead of the usual sweet and dainty characteristics of a peplum.

P.S.   Impress for less with these $29 Qupid Toe Cap Pumps instead of the $665 YSL Toe Cap Pumps.  What a steal!
