I got this gorgeous velvet peplum on an incredible sale at J.Crew Factory right after Christmas. It’s available online, but the J.Crew versionis available at a total steal at under $20. J.Crew keeps running % off deals on top of that too. Today it is an additional 50% off $14.99 with code SALETIME and available in all sizes. I mean they are practically paying you to take it home! At that price I am seriously considering adding the white or black color to my shopping cart. The only difference from the one I have is that it has a v-neck.
Before I purchased this top I had to take a moment and think about how I could wear it for winter. I always try and think of different ways I can wear something before buying it to make sure it is versatile enough. With a sleeveless version like this there are several ways to remix it.
1. Add a blazer over top. Velvet is a thick material and this top is fully lined so adding a cardigan over top could result in a lumpy looking mess. A blazer is structured enough that everything would look smooth. I almost added a navy or khaki blazer with this outfit!
2. Layer a turtleneck underneath. Adding some color or a print to your outfit by layering a thin turtleneck underneath your sleeveless peplum top. It keeps you warm and adds interest!
3. Wear a button up underneath. The beauty of a thicker material is that it layers over other tops nicely. You can change it up by adding a collared button up underneath and wearing it like a vest.
Don’t forget to add some statement jewelry! I love the richness of velvet and how a statement necklace looks against it!
