True.
That’s why I have no hesitation is stating the following:
I hate peplum.
I hate the word. I hate the look.
It makes. Me. Cringe.
If you aren’t familiar with Ms. Peplum, allow me to introduce her:
Hi. That looks terrible.
Wow. Your fanny pack matches your skirt to the T!
Oh, it’s not a fanny pack? Is it an accident?
Is it a built in napkin? Place mat? Will you be Bull Fighting later?
Oh dear. Oh no. Please, no.
Oh hey, I ordered you an unnecessary extra 8 inches to your waist. Looks great, though.
Delicately define my waist? But that’s why I got the curtains…
Hi, miss? Can I get a McCallan 12 on the- oh, you’re not our server? Sorry, I thought for sure that was an apron.
So that’s how I feel. And it’s everywhere these days because we’re bringing the eighties back. The eighties. The eighties?!
And am I the only one that is reminded of such items as these?:
Yeah. I didn’t think I was alone there.
I will say, however (and kindly let me know if I shouldn’t post these) that one lady that actually CAN pull off peplum, is one of my favorite ladies to read about. Her name is Karla and there is something about her that makes really offensive eighties silhouettes look incredibly charming and sexy. I have no idea how she does it, but she does:
So, until I am convinced otherwise, please- turn the peplum volume down unless your name is Karla.
Thank you in advance.

it is a gnarly word. i’d never heard it before. sounds like something you would have to go to McGuckin’s and buy some solvent that would get of “unsightly peplum residue” or something.
