So, yeah yeah yeah, again with the mint pants, I know. I just really love them and thus have been wearing them a lot lately, okay? I mean, it’s my favourite colour, so you really can’t blame me. This peplum top is the prettiest, too. I wasn’t sure how I felt about peplum when it first became popular again, but I finally made the plunge and picked this one up from Forever 21 (the best place to test drive any fashion trends, let’s be real) and lo and behold, I’m sold! It’s cute, feminine, flattering, and to use a word my mom would say, “darling.” And so. It’s a winner in my book. And peplum can stay as long as it wants, with no complaints from me!
Last night we went to an ice cream social put on by Tillamook. I feel like we’ve hit the jackpot lately with these events in our city. Chocolate and ice cream? What are they trying to do to us?! It was really fun, and we even had an ice cream sandwich contest. As you can see, I go for the minimalist approach. And it was delicious. Tillamook ice cream gets a biiiig thumb’s up from moi!
Are you a fan of peplum?
What’s your favourite colour?
Have you ever had Tillamook ice cream? Let me tell you right now, you must try the S’mores flavor. Heaven.

J’adore ton petit haut, et ce pantalon!! Trop jolie!!
Aw merci Anne! :)

I haven’t been brave enough to try the peplum in any form yet! trying to find something I really like before I do.
Then I might take the plunge!
I definitely recommend trying it on, even if you think you won’t like it. I was pleasantly surprised!
xo
S’mores ice cream? YES, please! :-)
Right?! SO GOOD!!
xo
You pull off the peplum very well!! I have one, and I just don’t think I pull it off too well haha they just don’t suite people who have big hips. Tillamook makes ice cream?? That’s so weird to me since we buy their cheese, but at the same time,I just have a feeling they are pretty good at making it. I would totally try their ice cream, and I’m lactose intolerant ;)
I can see how they would only be unflattering for the hips. It’s always smart to dress for your body type, that’s for sure! And yes, girl, they make bomb cheese AND ice cream!! Although, not sure about the lactose intolerant part haha ;)

I haven’t fallen in love with the peplum trend…to be fair I also haven’t worn any peplum, but it just makes me think of a 90’s business barbie doll. Maybe I’ll change my mind? Favorite color is hard…I really do love mint as well, but I am also a big fan of coral and navy and gray. Honestly, I love to wear lots of different colors. I have never had Tillamook ice cream, but it sounds pretty awesome! P.S. I wanted to let you know that the anchor necklace I won from you was in our 5 year anniversary photo shoot and kinda became the theme for the whole thing. :) If you wanna check it out here is a blog post about it: http://www.pitchperfectpicture.blogspot.com
Ahhhh I LOVE it! Such a great photoshoot theme, and the pictures are all gorgeous! Definitely frame-worthy! Thanks for sharing, Maria :)

Love those pants! And the peplum top looks really cute on you. I haven’t tried that style yet but maybe some day :)
Thanks Allison! :) I wasn’t sure how I would feel about peplum, but I’m a fan!
xo
mint again! amazing color..i love peplum! i have 2 peplums currenly and hoping to get more..
xo josephine
Haha yes. Mint overload. I can’t get enough!

I don’t think there is a single outfit our yours that i don’t absolutely love.
Aww that’s really sweet of you!! :)

I love Peplum. I own peplum tops, dress, and skirts! haha I’m a girly girl so I love anything pink but I also love coral and royal blue. That ice cream sandwich looks delish! We have this amazing ice cream sandwich food truck that serves flavors like chicken & waffles –amazing! My go to is always the nutella almond ice cream w/ the snickerdoodle cookie.
Whatttt okay I have not gotten behind the whole “chicken and waffles” thing, but to be fair, I’ve never tried it, so I guess I am in no position to judge until I try. Maybe some day. It just doesn’t appeal to me? Also, I’m right there with you being a girly girl. I love me some pink, too! As for nutella ice cream, omgggg must. try.
xo
Love the color of those pants. So much fun!
Thanks Holly! I’m in love too :)
xo
I love this whole outfit! Peplum is definitely a little scary, but even though I have a small torso, I love it!
Farrell
Yes, me too! I was definitely unsure at first, but I’m a peplum fan now!
xo
i love those pants! and anything involving cookies and ice cream? i’m in!
haha I like the way you think!
xo
Very cute outfit! I haven’t made the leap for any peplum tops yet, but I agree that if I was going to try it out, I’d be doing so via Forever21!
I’m obsessed with ice cream – it’s a real problem for me! I have to cut myself off from it, from time to time, otherwise I’ll gain like 10 lbs. #NoJoke

Forever 21 is the best place to try anything out! And girl, I am a fellow ice cream-aholic. It’s just soooooo good. Everything in moderation, I say!

Hello, your new reader here :)
I love peplum so much too! Just as much as I love your mint pants, they’re just adorable and fit you well ^^
Aw yay, so glad you found me!! :) You’re the sweetest!

I am loving all things month green right now so you rock those pants! I keep gravitating toward anything and everything I come across in that color. First time here and first time linking up to What I Wore Wednesday. Excited to keep looking around! :)
*Krystina
Girl, I alwayyyys gravitate toward it as well! It’s just such a pretty colour!

Katie, you look so great! I recently bought a peplum top from Forever 21 (and it was on a flash sale!) and I love it. Unfortunately I’m not convinced it looks good with any of my skirts (and it’s way too hot here to wear pants). I probably should just give it a shot, but until then, I’m going to admire you and your peplum :)
Aww you’re sweet, Kate. :) Gotta love those F21 flash sales! Soon enough, you’ll be rocking the peplum with pants!
xo
this outfit is SO adorable! :) you look amazing, and that ice cream sandwich looks DELISH!
Thanks Hallie girl! :) It was delish!
