This is another black, pleated skirt that I’ve had for
months and have never worn:
I think it’s a beautiful skirt, but it’s also that not-quite-midi-not-quite-maxi
length that confuses me. On top of that,
it seems a bit formal for work and I’m not the best at dressing things
down. However, I thought I’d give it a
shot today so I paired the skirt (thrifted) with a thin, gray sweatshirt (Old
Navy) and gray and silver flats (Target).
I also added a squash blossom necklace (vintage via Lil’ Gypsy) and a
silver-necklace-as-bracelet.
And I liked it. In
fact, I felt this dressed down look was so successful that it convinced me to
keep this skirt. Well, this outfit and
the fact that this skirt swooshes and swirls so nicely when I walk. And because it has knife pleats and who
doesn’t love knife pleats? But, mostly because it
does this:
Of course, by keeping this one, I’ve increased my number of
“keepers” to four black skirts, of which two are pleated. I recognize that is still a lot of black
skirts for a gal to have and I still have a few more to go, but let’s call it
progress anyway, m’kay?
Happy Friday, Everyone!
Gracey
