Pleated skirts are my life! No seriously, I've been crushing over pleated skirts for years now and think they're simply such great and versatile pieces that I can never have enough. (as demonstrated in my recent post ft. a pleated metallic skirt) However, there are times when I've seen people get into something of a rut with these and I decided it was time to get my frugal fashionista brain working and give you three unique and fun ways to style your Pleated skirt. I pulled out my Forever 21, thrifted from Spoyl pink skirt for this post but I believe that you can replicate these looks with almost anything that you've got in your closet.




Look 1: The Working Girl





The most classic way of wearing a pleated skirt is with a simple shirt. I picked out this polka dot cropped shirt for a bargain on the street and paired with the skirt and heels, this outfit is perfect for a working brunch or even a post work date. It's the perfect outfit for spring and can easily be a great first date look. You can even pair this with a solid white shirt and a statement necklace for a look that can literally be worn to any event and still look great!

Look 2: The Model-Off Duty




Throw caution to the wind! Wear your pleated midi skirt as a mini skirt! It's simple. No Really. All I did was to turn the midi skirt into this was pulling it upto my chest and zipping it. I then added an oversized tshirt, my geeky glasses (buy them here for a bargain) and pulled my hair up in a messy bun and done! I absolutely love the bit of pink peaking out from below. Love it!

Look 3: The Practical Gypsy



My favorite kind of outfit, as you all know, is the slightly gypsy kind. I decided there was no way I wasn't going to atleast attempt a more polished version of a gypsy outfit. I added a simple striped tshirt (stripes go with everything), a little jacket and then my bohemian coin necklace. I also decided to do a bit of trend mixing and added a pair of floral flats to complete the look! The overall effect is still very clean and modern, which is inherently something you'd associate with a skirt like this, and then simply added elements that were very 'me'. That's what being a modern bohemian is all about, in my opinion!
