In my last post, I mentioned that I wanted to make a skirt that's as versatile as my nude patent leather pumps. I decided on the inverted pleat skirt inspired by this Alice + Olivia skirt. I've always had an infinity for pleated skirts because they're so feminine and I also love the movement of the pleats when you're in motion.
The A+O version is much shorter in length and also with a hefty price tag. I do like the shorter length, but thought it would be better to make my version longer so its appropriate for all occasions. After finishing my skirt, I can also understand the hefty price tag as it does take up a lot of fabric to create the pleats and was also a very laborious process. My perception was that this was going to be an easy afternoon project, but boy was I wrong. However, I think it was time well spent and I love the finished product. I have worn this a couple of times already and have received compliments from a few strangers which made me feel really good.
To test out the versatility of this piece, I thought I'd pair it with a few things in my closet. ;)
