TiC Pick: Peplum
That strange looking little piece of fabric you see layered atop a skirt is definitely an acquired taste but my my, doesn't it complement a tiny waist! Fashion has been going through a revival for a while now so it was only a matter of time before they got to the peplum; a staple in the 1980s and early '90s.

They are available on their website over here. However, with a local retail price in the three digit section, it might be a bit steep for us wallet-tightening recessionistas.
Thankfully, Velvet Ribbon sells a nice range of peplum skirts too. For a selling price of less than RM60, the blogshop offers a reasonable alternative to the pricey masses.
Only the Polka Peplum (right and left picture) and the Checked Peplum (middle) are left, so hurry over before some one else snaps them up!
What do you think of peplum skirts? Did you notice it before? Love it or hate it, do tell us!
