Pleated Midi Skirt

Lately I’ve had a major soft spot for pleated midi skirts. Like, it’s bad y’all. I literally JUST purchased another one and not to mention the coral one I wore last year – remember?! But regardless of whether or not I should consider branching out, I’ve got yet another pleated midi skirt outfit for y’all today! But the good news is (!) that I’m trying something different (and a little more day-to-day slash casual) and I’m NOT wearing a crop top (#PraiseHands). I know, SHOCKER, right?! I feel like I always resort to wearing a crop top with any sort of midi skirt (can’t help it – I LOVE the look).

I think the reason why I always end up wearing a crop top (with all my midi skirts) is because anything else tends to look a little bulky on me and then I lose my shape in all the fabric – if you know what I mean? But with the right type of tank (one that’s not too loose and not too fitted) you can still maintain a slender, flattering shape while wearing a midi skirt without having to resort to a crop top.

This tank has been SUCH a go-to for me over the past year and a half. Seriously, I think I wear it at least once a week and you’ll notice I sport it WAY TOO MUCH on the blog – I have it in 6 colors (seriously).
