The unpacking and organizing and obsessing over the house is winding down slowly.  We had our housewarming party this past weekend which really made us push to get a lot of last minute things done.  More about that later....


In between all the daunting house things, we've had a bit more time to have a life and see our friends.  Birthday parties abound lately, so I took the opportunity to try the new Posh Peplum Top from Kiyonna a couple different ways.


For my sister-in-law's 30th birthday party, I paired the top with my polka dot pencil skirt and boots.  It was such a comfy ensemble because the ponte knit is stretchy and soft.  I just adore the peplum silhouette and am a super huge fan of this top.  The deep violet shade is such a lovely jewel tone, but I NEED it in every color.

I am wearing this top in a 4X and almost think I could size down to a 3X because I have a smaller bust (B cup).  It didn't gap or hang weird and I certainly received a ton of compliments on it. 


For my Aunt Wendy's party the following weekend, I went more casual and sassy.  My hair appointment finally rolled around, so I was in a happy "I just got my hair did" mode.  It just puts an extra pep in my step!


With this look, I added a lace-trimmed cami underneath for a lovely little peek-a-boo.  I really love the way it looked with the sweetheart neckline.  The jewelry stayed simple with a sparkly lavender heart necklace.   The ponte peplum is definitely my new favorite top; it is a beautiful feminine and flirty silhouette that provides such a pulled together look with minimal effort and maximum comfort.
