Peplum Tops

I live about as far a lifestyle from the countryside as you can get… but even I’m just a little bit obsessed with Cottagecore.

I mean, let’s think about it – would a simple, sustainable existence be so bad? 

Actually, don’t answer that..

I’ll stick to prancing around in romantic blouses and carry a straw basket.. and keep my creature comforts in NYC. Attempting to maintain even a basic sourdough starter was more than I could handle!

For the cute cottage look without the hardship, try pretty feminine florals and peasant-y puff sleeve dresses and tops.

Here are our favorite peplum tops to try the look (if not the lifestyle!)

    lmao, I hate not packing what I need (in reference to Spain being unexpectedly cold). When I went to Paris, I didn’t bring shoes appropriate for rainy weather and like two of my flights were ruined :(

      Ugh Thuy I unfortunately seem to mis-pack on nearly every trip. I have to get better at packing a variety of outfits. Rain is hard to pack in advance though – rainboots take up so much space!

    You look so great in this all black look! This peplum top definitely elevated your outfit and gave it some dimension. I don’t think you can really go wrong with all black and you definitely didn’t. The burgundy bag was a great standout piece and I think you look so great!
