There is so much guilt hanging in my closet, in the form of expensive tops I’ve bought but only worn once.  Why I buy them in the first place, I really don’t know… but that’s a topic for another, much longer, soul-searching sorta blog. In the mean time, I’m here with this guilt-free $21 (!!!) , striped, peplum top for your wearing pleasure. Try it with jeans or a pencil skirt and you’ve got an outfit casual to fancy.  As with all of these fast fashion sites, I sized up and am wearing a medium. Shop my top HERE.

(Also, these photos were taken at the new Chapman Plaza in the northeast corner of Shaw Park. If you’re local and haven’t been, you should definitely take a spin around. They’ve added a waterfall, great rock formations, a pond and pavilion that makes the corner of Hanley and Brentwood feel kind of like a Midwestern Yosemite… in a good way.)
