Is everyone as happy about the presence of the pleated skirt as I am? It's a classic number that ducks in and out of fashion, and right now it's very much in. Thin, lady-like pleats that is anyway. None of that Britney-esque box-pleating scandal. Just simple, elongating lines. The best thing about these sort of skirts is that they can often be sourced from many a good op-shop too. Don't hem them though, be sure to keep the classic length and complete the look with some towering loafer-heels.
My op-shop of the moment is The Bread and Butter Letter, a lovely wee cubby-hole tucked away on New North Road in Eden Terrace. It's worth a visit as the owner has done all the curatorial work for you but kindly kept the prices so they're still an opportunity.
