Pleats and Navy – These are a few of my favorite things

Posted on October 9, 2011 by Elaine
***Note:  I’m away on vacation so this is a scheduled post! 
I may not be able to respond to comments as quickly as I’d like to!***

I’m a true “girly girl” and have always had a thing for pleats.  I’ve also always been drawn to grey.  Is is sad that essentially it’s my favorite colour?  It’s by no means a reflection of my mood 😛 But lately I’ve been gravitating towards navy.

I loved this pleated skirt as soon as I laid eyes on it and it fit me perfectly too!  The ONLY issue was the zipper.

Skirt: H&M size 2
See the zipper?  I was so disappointed that it was so wonky.  
For more pictures of the skirt see my review over at FitReview
I contemplated returning it since I wasn’t sure it was worth paying a tailor to fix it. But…I have a fabulous mother in law who was able to change out the zipper for me so I was able to keep it and it’s now one of my favorite skirts!!

Shirt:  Mexx XS
Belt: Danier XS

I’m so happy I didn’t return this skirt and that my mother in law was able to help me keep it!

  • You *know* I had to! Once I had my wedding hair & makeup trial, I put the look TO WORKKK! ✏️ To get a sense of how my look would perform on my wedding day, I did: ✅ a humidity test ✅ a transfer test ✅ a kiss test ✅ a food test ✅ a crying test ✅ an exertion test It was a ton of fun and really gave me a sense of how the look would handle the various stresses of a wedding day. The tests showed what worked well and where we needed to make some small
