Colorblock Pleats

August 26, 2018Fashion
0

Pleated skirts are one of my favorite items to wear this time of year. The weather is still hot and humid so wearing something form fitting isn’t exactly ideal. Pleated skirts are stylish, always on trend and provide a breathable garment for these warm months. They can also be worn past in different seasons. I’m constantly harping about versatility in your wardrobe and this skirt can provide just that. You can wear it in the Fall with booties or over the knee booties. You can wear it during the transitional period of Winter to Spring as I’ve done with this look and everything in between. It’s effortless design can work with any style.

I have been loving the new arrivals from Target lately as they start to infuse Fall-like pieces. My love for pleated skirts mixed with my love for color made me a magnet to this garment. The blends of shades used to make the stripe pattern in the skirt is something that I had not seen before. I wouldn’t think that bright yellow, pastel lavender and deep burgundy could ever work in the same look let alone the same garment but somehow it just does!

The skirt is definitely the statement piece so it really didn’t need much help. I simply paired it with a black crop top and simple black heels. If you are nervous about wearing crop tops, I’d advise you to wear them with a midi skirt of some kind that flows away from your body. That way it balances everything out and gives a nice contrast to the top. I also snagged this lavender bag from Target as well that just was the perfect accessory to complete this look. Summer to Fall transition is officially in session.

    You look amazing as usual. Some of the reviews say to size down. What do you think? What size are you wearing?

      Thanks so much! I’m wearing an XXL in the skirt which is what I would normally get. I felt like it fit true to size

Unfortunately pieces in this look are old. Boots are from @nadiaaboulhosn x @fashiontofigure collection that sold out. I link similar sweater dresses in the link in my bio and the same hat in a different color 🖤
#ad Let’s normalize celebrating your body, even #ad Let’s normalize celebrating your body, even if you desire to make changes to it.

Life is simply too short to not embrace your own amazing journey.

Connecting mind, body and spirit by doing a little beach yoga in this @lululemon gear and yoga mat. I’m awful at yoga if I’m being real. But I’m trying to do new things and allow my body to surprise me with its capabilities. Check out links to these items in my stories! @shopstyle #thesweatlife

These are just a fraction of the comments that I see. And while some of these are made in jest, your words and thoughts have so much power. You are not shaped like a (insert object). You are a person. And I don’t want to see this language anymore. K? Love ya!

I saw this quote and it stopped me in my tracks. Sometimes we get so caught up in our day-to-day or obsessing over things we don’t like about ourselves. In 2021, I’m challenging all of us (including myself) to think higher, think bigger. Our lives are so much more vast and meaningful than we imagine. Be the ocean...

We are in a brand new year and with that comes a “New Year, New You” mentality. And there is nothing wrong with setting goals for changes you want to make in your life, from your body to your daily habits. Just remember that it’s a marathon, not a sprint and to practice grace & kindness throughout.
