For a hot date, the peplum skirt is a no-brainer, since it's easy to dress up or down depending on where you're headed, and it shows off your curves in the loveliest way. We've paired it with a lace-embellished blouse and a statement sandal in a clean, crisp palette of black and white to keep it classic and ladylike, and added some drama with a patterned bag and a seriously glam collar necklace.
