Last month I bought my first pleated skirt ever. I recall wearing a basic navy pleated uniform skirt somewhere in grade school. And I did purchase a pleated Ted Baker dress a few years ago or so. But besides that, pleats are a new, lovely discovery. And surprisingly, this skirt was love at first wear. I didn’t feel short (or rather as short as I am) or swallowed by fabric, which is what I expected. I instead felt very…grown-up. Yes, for us short girls, sometimes “midi” translates to maxi on person, but it still works.
I recall my mom standing around five foot seven, wearing a black blouse and a white pleated midi skirt to church when I was a little girl— oh, the revolving door of fashion. This year we’ve seen stirrups and platform shoes come back. I plan to post about that soon!
Anyway, so do I now stan a lovely midi skirt? Yes, pleats!
