Structured details

I'm still on a peplum high! I can't help myself.  I love peplums.  I made this top last year.  When I found this green and black tapestry-esque fabric, I knew I wanted to make something with structure and voila this beautiful top sprung to life.  The silhouette was actually inspired by a local landmark here on Maui, the Lahaina Jodo Mission.  It mimics the architecture of the Pagoda temple.  I even made matching pants to go with this top, which have hand quilted side panels, but I decided to forgo the silky pants and opted for a more casual Friday look; enter my favorite pair of denim jeans.

I wanted the top to stand out, but if you know me, when it comes to accessorizing I have a hard time with the "more is less" concept.  Surprisingly enough, I think the necklace and bag I chose paired perfectly.  I really love this studded structured bag that OASAP sent me.  It surely adds spice to any ensemble. 

I hope you all had a great Aloha Friday! Here's to a magically weekend.  :)
