The drop waist trend was one I was a little hesitant to try. My logic:if the peplum trend was meant to accentuate hips and focus on a small waist, would the drop waist trend only emphasize those pesky love handles? I wasn’t willing to find out but luckily the lovely ladies over at London Times sent me this darling little number and I’m quite smitten, to say the least! I adore the houndstooth print and anticipate a lot of wear out of this dress during the cooler months. The drop waist is something I’m still on the fence about but I do like the school girl vibe it exudes, especially paired with a denim collar. This was the perfect outfit for a chilly Monday but next time I’ll have to consider tights, brr!
