Pep in Your Step

Lately, I have been admiring the peplum style, but avoided it assuming the ruffle was meant for super slim chicks, not these hips! But then I fell in love with the above dress from BCBG and had to try it on. The cut is so feminine and the fringe falls just right where it accentuates an hour-glass shape in a good way. One problem, the $248 price tag is slightly out of my price range. I set out on an online hunt for similar flirty frocks, at a more affordable price. Below are some pretty peplums I spotted ...
