pleat it out...

something about the pleat...that is oh so feminine...many tend to shy away from pleats...be it the size of their hips...mostly...but the thing is...pleats come in so many forms...wide, narrow, inverted, boxed...you name it!

when it comes to pleats...which you can find many variations of in stores currently...as it is one of the current spring/summer trends...in skirts...they appear in all lengths...i say...try a mid-length pleated skirt with a wedge heel for a fabulous new outfit...

but don't stop at the skirt...you can also find them in many other pieces...i thought i would show a few examples...currently in the fabulous finds consignment boutique...
