I bought a suit with a peplum on the jacket, platforms, shoulder pads and I felt like a little girl playing dress-up in my Mom's clothes.

When Mom saw me she asked why I was wearing such out-dated clothing!
too funny!

Jaye and I are also big fans of retro fashion. I bought THE cutest peplum - black and white polka dot silk - that you put on over a tight white button-down blouse. I keep looking for an opportunity to wear it. If you like the original make-up, go over to Besame Cosmetics online and have a field day.
