Wearing a slim fitting top with a statement belt accentuates my waist so I knew that if I wanted to try something different I still needed to make my waist the focus point. Plus I wasn't willing to give up a little heel. A different top and losing the belt seemed like the easiest option. This top is a lot more billowy then I would usually wear with a pleated skirt so I tied it at the waist which created the same effect as my belt usually does.
Whilst my pear shape body type requires pleated skirts to be worn on my waist if you have a more petite shape pleated skirts look fabulous on your hips. I found this pinterest board that has given me a lot more inspiration for shaking up how I wear my pleated skirts.
What is your favourite way to wear a pleated skirt?
That dress is gorgeous and you look beautiful x
ReplyDeleteI generally wear my pleated skirts with a blouse or a loose t-shirt. No matter what i wear on top, i have to tie it around my waist like you did if not i won't feel comfortable. It's funny cause i hate wearing belts or fitted tops with pleat skirts. Maybe i need to give that option a try and see how it looks
ReplyDeleteI would certainly love to see how you style yours in winter as it might give me ideas on how to wear mine when the Winter comes around :)

Ahh I like the print on this skirt and love the top you paired it with.
ReplyDeleteI love pleated skirts too. I love the floral print on yours!
ReplyDeleteCute outfit! I love pleated skirts too, favouring the more a-line, knee length ones and also wear them on my waist. :)
ReplyDeletelove the last photo. I always struggle with midi length skirts - stupid short (and chunky) legs!
ReplyDeleteLove that skirt! I don't wear long flowy skirts because I'm so short and they just don't work for me so I've got major skirt envy right now! xo
ReplyDeleteLove this post Megan! I sometimes get into a bit of a rut and wear things the same way every time too. Great inspiration!
ReplyDeleteLove, Rachel
I love how floaty and feminine this outfit is. I can't wear pleated skirts. I have quite big hips, so I prefer to hide them ;)

I really love this post :) I have this almost midi length pleated skirt and I never know how to style it. I love that Pinterest board because now I've got some inspiration. x
ReplyDeleteOmgsh, I love it!! I actually bought a vintage pleated skirt last summer. It's a blue and black leopard print. I absolutely LOVE the skirt, but haven't been able to style it without looking hobo, not boho... A chic hobo, sort of like Mary Kate and Ashley. It never occurred to me to tie up a black blouse like this! Would dress it up a bit I think. Any other recommendations for me?
ReplyDeleteThanks!!

Oh, and it's about the same length as this one. Just a bit longer, I think.
DeleteThe other day, while I was at work, my cousin stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a
ReplyDelete25 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation.
My apple ipad is now broken and she has 83 views.
I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!

My coder is trying to persuade me to move
ReplyDeleteto .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using
Movable-type on a number of websites for about a
year and am anxious about switching to another platform.
I have heard excellent things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my
wordpress posts into it? Any kind of help would be
really appreciated!
