Peplum High-Low Blazer – What To Wear

I’m still in love with the peplum silhouette.  I adore the cut and style of this particular top because it’s fitted at the waist and flairs near the hips.  It’s the perfect look (especially for moms) due to the fact that wearing a peplum silhouette will hide the mid-section.

Peplum tops also photograph well from all angles and give instant curves to the upper torso.  They compliment all body types; one can dress them up or down depending on the occasion.

The Peplum Blazer in the photo (below) was amazing due to the color, one-button closure and high-low hem.  I decided to wear platform pumps for a heightened appearance.  Overall, I was pleased with the quality of this blazer.  I can’t wait to pair with a blouse and jeans for a totally different look!

Michelle Obama – Nariciso Rodriguez Midi Dress

First Lady, Michelle Obama looked stunning (last night) during the 2016 State Of The Union Address.  She was seen wearing a marigold toned, midi dress from designer Narciso Rodriguez.

Michelle Obama is an example of having the total look.  Her makeup was neutral with a soft highlight and contour; hair was placed in a side-part with voluminous waves.

Due to the popularity of her dress, unfortunately it sold out in a matter of minutes!

1. Start with clean towel dried hair. First apply KMS California TAMEFRIZZ smoothing lotion (18.99) from root to tip and comb through for even distribution.

2. Next, spray KMS California ADDVOLUME volumizing spray (18.99) at the roots to create big voluminous hair.

3. Give a light mist of KMS California FREESHAPE quick blow dry spray (21.99) to reduce drying time and get a smooth fly-away free result to your blow dry.

4. Next, section the hair for blow drying. Using a medium round brush, drying with an up and around movement to get full volume.

5. Using a 1-inch curling iron, take 1-inch sections of hair and curl the hair all back and away from the face. Take a velcro roller and set each curl after you curl only using medium to small curlers. Allow rollers to set and cool. After, 15-20 minutes remove curlers.

6. To finish, brush the hair out with a sable bristle brush. Use KMS California HAIRPLAY playable texture ($20.50) to spray waves and curls in place but still maintain a soft bouncy look.
