Fall 2012 Trends: Peplums and Lace

As I have already featured in my blog, peplums are a fun and figure-friendly trend that is continuing into fall. I recently purchased two peplum style tops and am considering a peplum dress.  

Lace is also having a major moment this fall, ranging from vintage, grandma-inspired lace looks to neon lace.

My favorites from Fall runways:

Alice + Olivia lace peplum dress

 Altuzarra Fall 2012 peplum look

More affordable options:

Asos peplum top

Love the bow detail and aqua color of the top above.

Simply Be black peplum dress

Asos Curve lace dress

Torrid lace inset blouson top

The top below mixes the peplum and lace trends for a sophisticated look that can be dressed up or down.

The Limited Corded Lace Shell

If you would like to try the lace trend, but don't want to invest much, lace tights may be a great option.  Target usually carries lots of fun lace tights in the fall, including bright colors.  It's a great way of giving your look a trendy pop without breaking the bank.

Do you plan on trying the lace or peplum trends?
