The only thing better than a maxi skirt is a mermaid maxi skirt! I could hardly contain my excitement when I laid eyes on this stunner at Current Clothing! Whether you are a bride-to-be, festival junkie, or simply chic, this maxi skirt deserves a special spot in your closet. The princess seams guarantee you a swoon-worthy fit, while the subtle chevron print ups its versatility. With the right additions, this skirt can easily go from noon to five. For a daytime affair, pair this beauty with a cropped off-the-shoulder top, a jean jacket, and a side braid.

With a cocktail party in Las Vegas coming up, I chose the latter, and styled this mermaid skirt for the evening. To compliment the shapely lower half, I paired it with a feminine structured top. Although a classic black or white would have worked, I took advantage of the opportunity to add a pop of color by incorporating this magenta peplum top into the mix. I know I always say to keep the accessories to a minimum when you are working with a statement piece, but when it comes to Vegas, the bigger the better! That is why I chosen a very gaudy pearl necklace.

I was immediately attracted to this top because of the dual textures. Why buy a plain ivory top, when you can buy one mixed with some mesh?! Right off the bat I pictured it with a pair of blue or colored denim. But before I went down that road, I decided to turn it up a notch with a skirt! Maxi skirts can be very flattering garments – slimming and elongating with the right pair of shoes. This is especially true when you come across one with a slit. Hence the reason I was so excited to find the Maxi-mum Power Dusty Rose Maxi Skirt. This pretty is also available in black – a wardrobe staple if you ask me. Although a regular nude wedge would have worked, I paired this skirt with my favorite cognac gladiator sandals. The reason I suggest nude or skin tone is because white, for example, might “cut off” your legs in an unflattering fashion. When you are wearing a long garment like a maxi skirt, that is the last thing you want to do. A skin tone shoe on the other hand, creates length. Anyway, I polished off the look with cream and gold jewelry, and threw on a hat for a relaxed look. Don’t be surprised if you see this top pop up again on KK and GG in the next couple of weeks.

The post Mesh Peplum Top and a Maxi Skirt appeared first on Kelsey Kaplan Fashion.

In the outfit below, I paired a silk taffeta peplum top with the most comfortable light khaki pants I own. I polished off the look with a multicolored clutch and some beige patent leather pumps. A great alternative look would be this lace peplum top with black pants and the same pumps in black.

If you are looking for a hostess gift, pick up a bottle of Incanto Chardonnay Pinot Grigio from your local Trader Joe’s! The bottle alone makes for a wonderful decorative item, but I have heard the blend is rather tasty as well.

Thank you to my SIL for the cute wine bottle tags!

The post Can’t Get Enough Peplum appeared first on Kelsey Kaplan Fashion.

In the outfit below, I paired a beige peplum top (sold out but try this or this) with a statement necklace, a bejeweled watch, and a faux fur infinity scarf. I polished off the look with black wax-coated jeans (similar here) and my favorite pair of black pumps.

Isn’t it amazing how a few adornments can transform an ordinary look to a special occasion look in a matter of seconds?!
