ELEVEN PRETTY PLEATS
September 21, 2018
Hello!
We have been loving the revival of the warm weather recently, and I don't know about you, but we were not expecting to be basking in 25 degree heat!
Whilst we are loving the warmth and most definitely not wishing it away... we're kind of dying to start digging out some cosy jumpers. There are so many amazing new coats and knitwear that we just can't justify buying until it gets at least a little cooler.
I'm sure we won't be waiting too long!
One item that is pretty much perfect all year round and one of my all time favourites, is the pleated midi skirt. Not only is it super flattering, especially on us curvier gals, you can pretty much style it for any season! It looks fab paired with sandals and a cami in summer or with a cosy jumper and boots in winter!
Pleated skirts are basically my style staple, and if they ever go out of fashion, it will be a very sad day indeed!
Skirt - M&S
Sunglasses and Earrings - Accessorize
This skirt is from M&S, and is in the print of the season - animal print! It's selling out fast so if you want to get your hands on it, get over there quickly!
The animal print and in particular, the leopard print looks like its going nowhere for another season. This is one of my favourite takes on the print that I've seen recently. I love the orange elements in the print and the colours are just beautiful for autumn.
I can't wait to start wearing it with boots and a chunky knit! I did go with a jumper to the office last week, and nearly boiled alive... maybe I'll give it another few weeks before i try again!
This t-shirt has been a life saver in my wardrobe this summer. It's definitely one of my favourites! It is perfect to tuck into a skirt, but also looks cute just with jeans for a casual look. And it involves more leopard print, so we're on to a winner! Unfortunately this version of the tee has sold out but I have linked some similar above. There's one the same tee but with a black base and two with a white base but different slogans - but both with leopard print text.
Oh my goodness, how cute is this bag?! The fluffy strap is my favourite thing and I love that it comes with a long strap so you can use it as a cross-body. You may have seen this bag in last weeks post, so click here to see more! The great thing about having a sister with the same taste in fashion is that we can share accessories! If only we were the same clothing size!
If any of you guys have as much of an obsession with pleated midis as me, you're going to want to keep reading... We've picked our top 10 currently on the high street. So, whether you're still enjoying the warm weather or moving into autumnal fashion, we've got you covered!

As you know, we love a bit of animal print...so both the ASOS leopard and and the Topshop snake are right up our street. We love the button detailing on the ASOS one!
There seem to be quite a lot of satin pleated skirts around and they are just gorgeous! Mostly in rich jewel tones, these are perfect for autumn/winter. Just imagine this gorgeous rich green with a nice chunky knit!

These skirts have a much summerier look, which is ideal for this warmth! How incredible is the Topshop lime coloured asymmetric skirt?! It is such a gorgeous colour!
The Anthropologie skirts are both to die for. You can't really tell from the picture but the pink one is velvet...(heart eyes) I think I need it. Anthropologie is a little less affordable than most high street brands, but if you have a few extra pennies to spend, they have some absolutely beautiful stuff!
Thanks so much for reading this post!
Let us know if you've seen any gorgeous midi skirts around, our wish list can never be too long!
