Fall Trend: pleated skirts

After being forced into wearing pleated skirts throughout high school (Kennedy Catholic High School, what's up), I never thought I would be interested in wearing another pleated skirt again. But times have changed, my dears. The pleated skirts I have been seeing on the street and in stores lately are so cute and too hard to resist!

I am especially loving these skirts in lace, mesh, bright colors, and hot, hot, polka dots! 

This polka dot one from Forever21 is amazing, and it is on sale for $5.99. skirt

I actually love how the model is wearing this skirt in the Forever21 picture. The skirt is navy with taupe dots, and it looks great paired with that red sweater.

Another pleated lace skirt that I am in love with is this one from Ann Taylor Loft for $69.50. This skirt also comes in black and cabernet.

Here is a more budget-friendly option from Forever21 for $15.80. skirt

Oh, I love this bright coral pleated skirt from Forever21 for $15.80. This skirt also comes in navy. skirt

I love anything in mint so this skirt is perfect. Mints, Pleats skirt from ModCloth for $34.99. skirt

So tell me, is this a trend you would wear? I will be posting my first day of school look later today, so keep checking back! 

Here's how I wore it:

I re-created the Kourtney Kardashian summer to fall transition look using pieces from my closet, and here is what I came up with:

This is the original picture that I posted of Kourtney's outfit (I am re-posting this from my previous blog post):

The picture below is of my blue romper that I have been wearing all summer. I have been pairing it with a statement necklace and some high heeled sandals. This blue romper is from Urban Outfitters, and I actually bought it on sale at the end of last summer. The end of summer is a great time to score cute clothes on sale.

Below I paired my summer romper with an old beige blazer from H & M that I actually bought two summers ago. Love re-using clothes! 

In the pictures below I paired the same romper with a cute white blazer that I just bought on sale for $20.00 from Wet Seal. I am really loving the bright white with the blue romper! It makes the whole look stand out.

I wasn't able to locate my exact blazer online from Wet Seal, but here is a white blazer from Charlotte Russe on sale for $30.00. blazer

So tell me, what do you guys think of this look? Is this something you would wear?

Summer to fall transition look

As much as I hate to admit it, summer is coming to an end. Labor day is a little over a week away, and the temperature is getting slightly cooler. This is a good time to mix and match with some fall and summer pieces. Kourtney Kardashian does this perfectly by mixing a bright, summery romper with a blazer and sandals.

Here is a Boyfriend Blazer from Forever21 for $22.80 that would go great with a romper or even some high waisted shorts. It comes in taupe, white, and blush. blazer
