Peplum Power

My back swelling does not seem to be getting any better and it is severely limiting my ability to dress well. I had a horror shopping experience while trying to find a dress for a party a few weeks ago. I tried on almost every dress in the shopping centre and I couldn't get anything to fit me. Then, literally 2 minutes before the shops were closing, I tried on one more dress at Portman's and finally found something that zipped up and also covered my back swelling. Thank god for the peplum! The little frill at the back managed to mostly mask the little humpback I am sporting from my body lift surgery in November.

Who knew it was possible to have clothes that fit properly in all the right places??? There is not a single day where I am not so thankful to have had body lift surgery. I will happily take back swelling to finally have a flat tummy, a waistline and breasts that stick out further than my stomach.

Now I just need to hope that this peplum trend sticks around for as long as my back swelling does!
