Peplum, it's definitely been on trend since it's exposure on the fashion scene but I have to admit that I have yet to try it.  Here are a few budget friendly picks that have inspired me to try peplum out pretty soon, all under $50!

One of the impeccable personal styles that I've come to admire.  She is both feminine and polished, as I've chosen more black palette ensembles to show the chic nature of the pairings.  She makes the darkest tone more high fashion than somber.

Her pixie hair cut makes her look incredibly youthful in a good way.  The looks that are put together for her are seemingly timeless with a modern edge.  She looks radiant, and femininity is an important aspect to the outfits she wears.

Love the California summer ease in her looks with the connection to runway fashion.  From the outfits I've showcased, you can notice that she knows her body and can pick out great dresses that are both flirty and polished.  I personally love a dress cause it's easy to wear and you'll look instantly put together in it.

I've just come to notice her style and have become fascinated by her eagerness to delve into high fashion pieces when on the red carpet.  Her personal style is much more relaxed with a hippie vibe but when she's out for an event she goes for ultra-feminine pieces with the most delicate details.

Polka dots are absolutely fun and cool.  They definitely bring a nostalgic feel of classic looks from those before.  It's a great pattern, that can seemingly be both sophisticated and youthful.

A mix of red and purple, it's completely dazzling.  A veer from a regular hot pink or even a purple tinted magenta, the bold mix in this shade has a special something.  Escape from the comforts of the ordinary and try this shade out for yourself.

Style File: {Leopard Print}

Fierce is definitely an over-used word in describing this print but it's very fitting.  It takes a little confidence to pull off this pattern, even a dash of it will do.  This is a very classic print and is the perfect accent to an outfit that needs a little something.

Style File: {Cool Mint}

Definitely refreshing and cool, but none the less, it is a shade that is so on trend at the moment, with the movement of pastels on the surface of the sea of style.  This color is one that I currently covet because of it's subdued feel, yet it is still somehow sophisticated.
