I’m a child of the 80′s. I remember the peplum. I proudly wore the peplum.

Well. Now I’m here to tell you. It’s baaaaaack!!!!!

The peplum is great for accentuating the waistline, creating curves where you may not have them, and disguising a bit of a tummy. Plus, I just love the feminine styling.

Peplums come in various shapes and sizes. I personally love the partial peplum (no, that is not a technical term; I’m just not sure how else to describe it).

Or you can go all out with the full peplum that goes all the way around.

A particularly hot trend right now is the strapless peplum dress — perfect for a fancy night out on the town (if you have such opportunities .. mine are fairly slim to none these days).

I particularly like the notched peplum. It’s not QUITE as froo-froo as a full peplum but still gives you those curves we women covet!

How do you feel about the return of the peplum?

    so I purchased this, followed the direction to download them to my computer then sent a email to Ipad…downloaded then on my Ipad  and they will not download to my ipad.  What could I be doing wrong?

      Kate, did you unzip or extract the files first so that you have individual PDFs?

    I am at my daughter’s house and using her computer.  Will they be e-mailed to me so they will stay in my e-mail account?

    • http://lifeyourway.net Mandi @ Life…Your Way

      Yes, you’ll receive a download link via email. Just wait until you get home to download them, and you should be set!

    Just an idea. Get a free account on Dropbox. Upload the PDFs there. Then use the Dropbox app to read them on the iPad. It displays PDFs very nicely.

      Thanks for the great idea Kim! I did just that, and I am able to read the books in my iPod touch. Thanks again!

  • Eve

    I don’t have an e-reader.  Can these just be read on the computer?

    • http://lifeyourway.net Mandi @ Life…Your Way

      Yes, absolutely, Eve — you’ll receive PDFs of each ebook!

  • Calicorose95

    will this work on nook as well?

    • http://simplemarriage.net Corey

      I believe it will as well. Follow the same idea for the Kindle.

  • Jgawthroupe

    Unzipping is usually associated with PC computers.  Can I open the file on a Mac?

    • http://simplemarriage.net Corey

      Mac unzips as well. Just double click the bundle.

  • Lacornman

    Can you tell me which bundle 101 Ways to Simplify Your Life is in?  I ordered the books, but when checking the downloads, it doesn’t appear I received that book in the bundles.

    • http://simplemarriage.net Corey

      It is in Bundle 3 – look for Simplify eBook.pdf

  • Deb_dufek

    Since they are PDF’s will I be able to actually print them out so I can carry them with me to read. Im a “paper girl”!!

    • http://lifeyourway.net Mandi @ Life…Your Way

      Sure, absolutely, Deb!

      Hi Valerie! I can’t find a record of your purchase in our records. Could you double check what email address the payment was made through and that the money was pulled from your account? Email me at mandiehman@gmail.com and I’d be happy to help you figure it out. Thanks!
