Over the weekend, I took my Urban Outfitters peplum blazer for a test spin. It’s the same one that Chloe and AlterationsNeeded wrote about, but in a different pattern.
I’ve always wanted a peplum jacket because it’s figure flattering and it mimics the body’s natural curves. It’s an unlined knit jacket that has a bit of stretch. The buttons were loosely attached so I re-attached them because I like a sturdy set of buttons. The casual gingham pattern seems stands out more than the herringbone one. And though it’s a little unusual, I like it.
I think the blazer works best with high-waisted bottoms, but since I don’t own any (aside from mom shorts), I improvised with my straight leg jeans.

I like this print on you! I also have those same jeans in the medium blue wash. The fit is not perfect all around but I was happy with them. Did they shrink on you after washing?
I like the GAPkids jeans and they didn’t shrink. Then again, I don’t put it in the dryer, I just let it air dry.
It looks GREAT on you!
I really like the jacket on you, I am not the biggest fan of this particular kind of gingham pattern but I think on you it looks simple but sophisticated? Did you happen to get some pictures of the back? In Kelly’s post she posed some pictures of the back and I think it’s just gorgeous. I am so close to pulling the trigger on this jacket and I think I am going to get the pattern you got. Thanks for the review.
Thanks! I don’t have photos of the back yet, but I’ll put them up when I have a chance. =)
I feel stupid but for some reason I always thought peplum was a type of fabric
But now I know better! I think this print stands out more and it really does seem more “you” than the lighter herringbone.
Looks great on you! Geez, you make me want to get that pattern too! I freakin’ love that jacket. =D
All of you blogging fashionistas make this jacket look sooooo cute! I really like the unbuttoned look on you
I ordered the exact same jacket. I am going to do a review for it tomorrow. I love it. It looks great on you. Don’t you love the fit?
Ohh! I can’t wait to see your review! I love the fit and it has a nice stretch to it too.
Looks so great on you! I love this outfit.
You look adorable!
