Must Have Pleated Skirt for Fall

Skirt: H&M (Different Color) / Shirt: Old (Similar)
Handbag: Saint Laurent / Gold Slides: JustFab

One trend which I am loving right now are pleated skirts! These photos were taken a few weeks ago but I never got the chance to share on my blog since I was super busy with my brother’s wedding! Seriously it was such an amazing weekend I wish we could go back and re-do it again!

One item for fall which I love are long pleated skirts. For the summer I wore this skirt paired with a t-shirt and gold slides. I can’t wait to re-wear this skirt in the fall again with a leather jacket and booties! My beautiful burgundy skirt has sold out, however, H&M has so many different color options - I am LOVING this emerald green color and this leopard print color!

Favorite Two-Piece Sets for Spring

One trend I am loving for spring and summer are two-piece sets! I love that these sets come with fun prints and are colorful which are perfect to wear on a vacation or a night out. Another reason why I love two-piece sets is that you can mix and match them so easily which allows you to get so much more use out of each piece. For instance, you can take the top and pair it with jeans or shorts. Likewise, you can take the bottoms and match them with a different top. The options are literally endless!

Transitioning Your Wardrobe from Winter to Spring

Sweater: H&M - Old (Similar, Similar) / Jeans: Madewell
Purse: Chanel (Similar) / Earrings: Ann Taylor
Flats: JCrew - Sold Out (Similar)

Now that March is almost upon us, I think it’s important to talk how how to transition your wardrobe from winter to spring. Spring time is honestly one of my favorite seasons of the year. The days get longer, you can wear less clothing (no more heavy jackets!), cute shoes are back (goodbye UGGS!), and it’s finally time to get out of that neutral clothing rut and incorporate some color into your wardrobe!

This knit sweater I got last year from H&M is such an amazing dupe for this expensive knit sweater by Ganni (retails $475). I love how soft and cozy it is but with the reasonable price tag! Another reason I love it is because it just screams “spring!” Knits are one of my favorite pieces to keep in my closet from winter, to spring and then to fall because it transitions so easily from each season.

5 Tips to Transitioning Your Wardrobe from Winter to Spring

1. Lightweight Knits

Pair a lightweight knit with a simple pair of jeans or try wearing it a new way instead with a maxi skirt or culottes!

2. Pair OTK Boots with Dresses

I love the contrast of pairing over-the-knee (OTK) boots with a short dress. Essentially the OTK boots are re-placing your leggings/tights. It’s finally time to show some skin and let those legs feel the warmth of the sun!

3. Utilize Trench Coats

Layering is the name of the game especially in the springtime when the weather can be so unpredictable! Utilize trench coats and light cardigans to elevate your looks. You can also use these pieces as the “statement” piece of your outfit so have fun with it!

4. Make a Statement with Shoes

Shoes are a fun way to bring some color into your life and to show your personality. For spring, I suggest investing in an open-toe bootie (time to show off that pedicure!) or a fun pair of flats.

5. Re-Wear Winter Friendly Staples.

Find new ways to pair fresh spring pieces with winter-friendly staples as the weather during the spring can be quite unpredictable. I always like to opt for layers or a thicker material (such as a knit sweater) and then something fun (how I paired this look with a knit, jeans, and flats!). It’s like shopping in your own closet!

Oversized Off-The-Shoulder Sweater

OTS Sweater: H&M / Jeans: JCrew (On sale!)
Handbag: Saint Laurent / Sunglasses: Sperry (Similar)
Initial Necklaces: Violet & Brooks (Similar)
Heels: Sam Edelman

It’s no secret that I love anything off-the-shoulder. I was super excited when I found this OTS sweater comes in four colors - beige, gray, red and black AND is under $25! I just love how comfortable and cozy this sweater is. I’m definitely planning on wearing it through these chilly winter months!

On another note, this week has been nothing less of exhausting! I work full-time as in Accountant and the month of January is pretty brutal for me. I am almost through with my first full week of the month and I am already counting down the days until my busy season is over! One resolution that I made to myself in 2019 was to make time for my blog and plan my schedule accordingly! Hopefully I should be able to roll out some fun and fresh content for you all!

Pastel Midi Pleated Skirt

Happy Thursday everyone! I’m happy to say that spring is FINALLY here and as you can see I'm all about spring fashion! The temperatures have been in the 80’s here in Philadelphia and I’m loving it! I can finally say that I am ready to put away my winter clothes and do a spring cleaning! Who else does a wardrobe switch-out each season? I usually try to do it twice a year – once in the fall and once in the spring. The way it works is that I take out all my clothes for the season and create three files - toss, donate, and keep. It honestly feels so good afterwards when your closet is clean and organized!

I'm also happy to say that pleated skirts are back for spring but updated for the season with pretty pastel colors! One of my new editions to my spring wardrobe is this beautiful mint colored midi pleated skirt. When I put it on my husband was like wow “I love that color and skirt on you!” It’s honestly perfect for spring and it’s under $50! I paired this look with heels to keep the look dressy for the evening but this pleated skirt would also be super cute paired with white sneakers!
