I’m having a serious moment with pleated skirts this season.  This one holds a particularly special place in my heart since I had one just like it in college.  I love it so much that I wore it 3 days in a row when I first got it (but only for a couple of hours each time, I promise).  Pictures can’t even begin to capture how lovely this skirt is in person (although I did my best here to capture its movement).

    Your skirt is gorgeous, I’m loving the 3rd photo where you are sitting and it is draping!  I am loving your list of fantasy items, I also want a pair of diamond 1.5 carat per stud earrings too 🙂  We’ll have to go together!

      Thanks! I was pretty pleased with the way my hair came out too. Hopefully, I can replicate these results, lol! 🙂

    The skirt is great and I like it paired with the tee and navy jacket. I think this outfit would look super cute with some yellow accessories, it would pop against the navy and grey.

      Ooooh… good idea on the yellow accessories! I’ll have to try that next time.

    Hold the PHONE. I truly thought that hot pink skirt GIF was the BEST GIF IN CREATION…until I saw this one. Now it’s an indefinite tie. Amazing 🙂
