Hey there, beautiful folks!
It’s Monday afternoon and I haven’t had my caffeine! This is what happens when you try to go cold turkey!
If you’ve been watching me, you’ll notice that my flair can’t really be pegged; or can it? Okay, I need my caffeine. So to get back on subject, some style experts are saying that this is the year for pleated skirts and yes they are trending. But trust, the pleated skirt is a classic from way back.
For the curvy girl, know that this is one of the most flattering pieces for your body! Generally A-line in form, they cinch in the waist and fall ever so nicely on the stomach and hips. I can remember having the prettiest red and black pleated skirt that my mother purchased for me many years ago when I was in high school. Also, early on when my husband and I were dating, he gifted me with a classic flannel grey one. It’s still in my closet and in the regular rotation. So, know that when I saw a lovely blush pink pleated skirt in H&M, I had to have it! And then I peeped a black one? SOLD!
When I speak as a stylist about having timeless pieces in your closet and mixing them with a trendy piece, the outfit in this post is spot on. It spotlights last season’s off the shoulder blouse (this is actually a tunic) with a classic. It’s sassy, ageless and sophisticated.
Again, have fun with style, because it’s totally yours!
Until next time, love and light!
