What seems to be a top/bodysuit that I'm wearing was actually advertised to be more like a dress on Urban Outfitters! However being the silly person that I am, I didn't check the length measurements and received a "dress" for some, but an awkwardly long "top" for myself (as has happened many times!) It's an awkward length because I'm not short or tall enough to pull off either one lol.

Luckily the tight-fitting, bodycon material is not only easy to tuck into skirts/pants and wear as a bodysuit, but it actually also provides the perfect accompaniment to a peplum skirt. Peplum has been all the rage this year, but the extra flare can either flatter or completely disrupt your body shape. As this gorgeous turquoise mint one from Rosy Ruby adds extra volume to my hips, I opted for a tight-fitting top to create more of an hourglass silhouette. If you wear a cropped jacket/top with a peplum flare at the bottom, you should go for slim fit pants or skirts.

Peplum can be your best friend if you use it wisely- I worked this skirt in my favour by creating the illusion of wider hips so my waist looks smaller :) The key is to realise the peplum flare can already completely re-shape your natural silhouette, so you need to work around it to create balance :)
