The World "Accordion" To Pleats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pleats Galore!!!

Skirts have really been on my radar for the upcoming season and I apparently am not alone! The next hot thing in skirt wear are Accordion Pleats! These little numbers have quite a vintage appeal and if you love the look, but don't want to spend the bucks, check out one of your local vintage/thrift shops, like this one, which was an all time fave of mine while in undergrad, with little spending money! It kept me very fashion forward and you are sure to find a pleated skirt in one! Not really into vintage wears, but still want test out the look? Try Shopbop or Zara! They both have great takes on this classic look! Ladylike, classic, and comfort all rolled up in one pleat! I'll indulge...Well, maybe after baby!

Pep Up Your Wardrobe...Peplum Dressing!!!!!!!!!

Fall 09 continues to take it back to the 80's!!! What's up next in hot trends...Peplum Dresses! What?? Think tulip skirts, with a twist. It's almost as if you are wearing a bib on the bottom! Sounds a little strange, but oh sooo cute and very lady-like chic! All the hot girls are sporting this look; which is not just limited to dresses, but can be found on skirts and even jackets!!!! Im not really feeling the look on pants, just yet, but Im sure some innovative designer will find a way to change my mind. In the meantime, check out some creative selections by Tracy Reese, Fluxus, and Keen. All looks can be found at Anthropologie, Revolve Clothing, and Pixie Market!!!!

Get ready, get Pepped!!! In your Peplum Dress!!!!


Live Long and Dress Well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
