Pleats and Chambray

It probably sounds silly to say, but I've had this outfit in my head since last September and it took me seven months to finally wear it.

The skirt was very well received at work; which I thought was interesting because it's not something I'd normally put together for the office.

Though I'm glad it finally did come together!

    I would've never paired Chambray with a pleated skirt, but it looks great! I may duplicate your outfit this week :)

    I love this outfit! I'm glad you finally wore it. This has a dressed up and layer back feel at the same time, so cute!

    XoXo,

    So pretty and feminine! The ruffles really add something to a simple chambray.
    I've had similar situations with outfits that I really want to wear, but the occasion never presents itself.Not silly at all!

    I like the soft edge look here - the skirt goes perfectly with the shirt!

    I need a chambray shirt.

    I have a skirt just like this (almost exactly) & really can't figure out how to style it. do you have other suggestions for tops to go with it? Or can you point me to previous posts with it? Help!

    That's some heavy planning for an outfit! ;) It's successful though, definitely. I dig the soft pleats of your skirt and how you tied your chambray top. Lots of fun textures in this outfit right here and I love them all!

    I love the airy vibe of this outfit and its totally office appropriate, without be stuffy. Very cute indeed. I think all of the bloggers need to move closer to each other. That would be the best!

    I believe you.... i take forever to make outfits happen.
    I like this and am glad it was well received at the office, if i recall correctly they are, as we say i n SPanish "sin gracia" which kind of means "without grace" so they don't really appreciate your outfts.

    I love pleated skirts but they looks os weird on me that I gave my pink one to Nnenna. I'm still on the hunt for a chambray shirt, too. I keep telling myself that one day it will come.

    I just noticed that you're wearing double pleats! Awesome! I like double anything, especially leopard.

    I too have quite a few outfits that I've been thinking about for months. Usually the reason I haven't worn them yet is that I'm waiting for the perfect weather (not too hot, not too cold), and sometimes for that perfect weather to coincide with a weekend so we can drive to a fun location for photos!

    this combination is just so PRETTY with the flowyness of the skirt and light shoes!

    I agree that pleats are a career smart look. The movement of the skirt is a welcomed change to all of the structured outfit we see and wear everyday.

    Totally Suite Style!
