I’m finally back in Dallas after a busy couple of days in Los Angeles celebrating my grandma’s 90th birthday. I think I ate my weight in delicious Chinese food while I was there but it was so good to catch up with some of my family that I haven’t seen in months (I have two cousins that I grew up with who now live in New York City and I swear they have the most interesting stories!). It’s back to work tomorrow for me and I’m getting ready for a busy schedule these next couple of days.
Pleated skirts are making a major comeback this season and I couldn’t be happier about it! I love the flirty, swingy silhouette and it’s such a fun piece to wear. While I was all about wearing pencil skirts to work a couple years ago, I’m swapping them out for the much more comfortable style of pleated skirts. I love the soft movement of the pleats and they are surprisingly more wearable than their pencil skirt counterpart. From pairing them with heels for a dressy look or pairing them with sneakers for a low-key off-duty look, I love the versatility of the pleated skirts’ style! I happened to notice this pleated skirt hanging on the racks as I was walking through Nordstrom a couple weeks ago and couldn’t leave the store without it (can you believe it’s under $60?)! If you’re looking to add a pleated skirt to your wardrobe, I’ve rounded up a few more of my favorites below (including this one from Ann Taylor that I included in my sales roundup from yesterday!):

Kileen, this look is fabulous! I love the blush color. Pleated skirts are so feminine and pretty, but as a plus size woman I am still trying to figure out to style a pleated skirt in a flattering way! I bought a pleated midi skirt in black last year that I love, and so far the only way I can remove the voluminous addition to my midsection is to layer a slim tunic style top over it. But that ends up covering most of the cute pleating details! In any event, the pleated skirt looks amazing on you!

It’s true, pleated skirts are the new pencil skirts. I love the length of yours but I always have a hard time finding skirts that hit me at the right spot because of my height. This blush tone is fabulous and perfect for spring! Beautifully Candid
