The Topshop Panel Peplum Top

It dawned on me today that I have not dedicated a blogpost to this top. And this is a crime!

Without sounding too dramatic I would have to say that this is one of the best tops I have bought this year. I love the shape and quality of the fabric so much that I bought it in white. In fact I would consider buying it in the other colours they have as well.

Wear it with tight pencil skirts, high waisted trousers or just a pair of jeans, like I often do. It's a polyester and elastane mix so you get the best of both worlds - it feels light but holds it shape well, hugging where it needs to and flaring out in the way that a peplum can.

£24. From Topshop. You cannot go wrong.

I also like the way the arms are cut. That's an odd detail to focus on but it's cut deep and I think really flattering.

The only downer - and this is of course subjective - is that the zip is exposed at the back. I wish it had been concealed because then I think it would have really come off as a much more expensive piece. Exposed zips are sort of "overdone".

Anyway, there you go... :)

Have to say I love the fun silhouette this gives. When you pair it with smarter gear it almost feels like a Super Woman costume :) 

Hope you are all having an amazing Saturday!

PS. My smug face above - and no OOTD is complete without it! - may be partly down to my current phase of ruling out foundation and only using concealer.

My skin tone is in an in-between tone and nothing feels like it matches properly. Concealer is what I am left with and I have to say there is something so simple and fresh about just using concealer though...well there might be if you didn't use Make Up Forever Full Cover like I am but hey, got to start the move to a fresh face somewhere ;)
