Lookbook: Peach & Pleats Revisited

Top: Topshop sz 0P (old)  Shoes: Target (old) (similar)  Clutch: H&M  Ring: YSL Arty Coral

Skirt: ASOS Pleated Midi Skirt in US Petite 1 (buy here in two colors; free ship & returns)

Over 365 days in the past, I donned a peachy and pleat-y floral ensemble on here. The accompanying text: "i've been trying to push my fashion outside of my comfort region...a 12 months ago I wouldn't even have touched peach or salmon, and virtually no longer mustard yellow!" Bah! those hues (esp. mustard) are now some of my favorites, however running a blog encourages me to continuously push my fashion outdoor of my comfort zone - this time, with skirt length.

searching lower back at the antique submit, I mentioned many variations as well as consistencies. My hair and makeup competencies have glaringly advanced, however i'm satisfied to peer that my style has stayed pretty "genuine" to who i'm. standing at 5 toes tall with brief lil' legs, I in no way idea i might revel in a romantic tea-length skirt, however there is some thing approximately this piece it truly is very wearable. Nick even gave it a strong thumbs-up. The soft blush red colour makes the period less jarring. I attempted it on with each excessive heels and coffee strappy wedges, and notice it as a piece appropriate for spring to summer season to autumn.

fit: The waist could be very small and is designed to sit higher up, so length up if you need respiration room. US Petite 1* measures 11.75" across the waist, and 26" in period. *that is confusing, however ASOS is wavering between labeling their smallest petite size a US1 or US0.

exceptional: As with maximum ASOS gadgets, I do not expect high first-class. cloth is a hundred% polyester, with a sheer overlay and a stretchy lining. The price is higher than what i am used to forking over at H&M, but much less than Topshop and Zara. I issue the benefit of free shipping & returns into the price.

Verdict: would like to maintain. i'm going to revisit items sold final week from this post (ended up getting #6 in cream - it's pretty but no longer as flexible) and my older pleated skirt, and sell/go back half of it. there's a variety of stuff i really like available on the market right now, but I only want to hold those i really like.

I also got the ASOS Petite Pink Skinny Jeans: $60.34 now $27.58 (free ship & returns):

Measurements of my US Petite 0: 13" throughout the waist, sixteen" throughout the hips, 7.25" rise, 26" inseam.
cloth: ninety eight% cotton, 2% elastane

I did not take pix yet, but I advise those in case you're looking for outfitted, brightly colored denim without breaking the bank. although classified as "capris" at the website online, I hoped they might be longer, and positive sufficient those fit flawlessly like ankle-duration denims on me. The suit is similar to a gap 00P or 24 in different brands. Upon attempting those on, I in the beginning notion i was keeping for sure, but they may pass lower back because there are different matters i really like more.

Readers - Yay or nay on this tea-length skirt?
