3 Ways | Pleated Metallic Skirt

Next up, for this pleated metallic skirt is a little flirtiness + a little edge.  Perfect for a GNO where you want your hands free to hold a good cocktail or throw your hands in the air like you just don’t care.  Also great for brunch at a new restaurant (I’m pictured in front of Mahogany Restaurant in Memphis; see their website/brunch menu HERE).  Guess what else? Since the spring/summer festival season is right around the corner, you could add flats or mules for a cool festival look.

So how’d this look come about? The last time I styled this skirt (HERE), it was super sporty.  I wanted to dress the skirt up a little, but still have a casual, cool girl vibe.  I started with the skirt, of course, but this whole look was based around this belt bag.  I thought the red would pop like POW against the metallic gray annnnnd I was right!  This top was only purchased because I needed an OTS top quickly for a trip last year (Amazon Prime to the rescue!)  It’s super drapey, but tucking it in takes away some of the volume.  You know I think leopard is a neutral and I’ll add it to the mix anytime.  I really tend to gravitate towards leopard anytime red is involved.  Guess it’s just how I’m wired.  All in all, I think this look turned out fabulously.  What do you think?
