Dreaming of Accordion pleats

Hello Friends!
Today I'm thinking of Spring, it's just around the corner and here in California the weather already feels like Spring. So I have been obsessing over accordion pleats after seeing Dior's Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2015 because they were all over that runway. So I've been searching all over trying to find one my size and that is also affordable. I'm happy to say I was able to find one. Click read more to see where I found one. 
So like I said above I've been obsessing over accordion pleats and I didn't think I would be able to find one. So when I went to the mall the other day, I went in wanting to find an accordion pleated skirt but not thinking I would find one. H&M was having a big sale and I haven't really been liking H&M recently because I haven't found clothes that fit me there but I decided to go and look. I was searching the regular clothes and had a whole stack of clothes to try on and after I finished not one of the items fit. So I was feeling down but when I got out the fitting room I noticed that their plus section had a few sale items. I went over and started shuffling through the rack and found this accordion pleated skirt, it was the only one in the bunch. I was so excited but I saw the size and it was a 22 which isn't my size. But I decided to try it on and it actually fit me and it fit me well. That just goes to show you should always try things on and not be intimidated by the size because you really don't know.

A closer look of the pleats. The skirts in the Dior show were stripped and bright colors but I think this skirt is so much more me because I love black and white. But if I find another one in bright colors, I will have to get it too. 
This is another top I got from eBay that I got the same time as my dark red one that I used in a previous post. I couldn't resist the pretty pink color and pearl detailing and the $7 price tag with free shipping was a deal I couldn't resist.

What are you looking forward to wearing for spring? Are you a fan of accordion pleats? Thanks for reading. Hope you have a fantastic weekend, thanks for reading!

  3. Oh my gosh, Nina. I love this and would totally wear it, head-to-toe. I'm glad you found a piece you like with accordion pleats! I do think we're going to be seeing more of them this spring. They'll add a nice and different textural element to the already popular a-line skirts. That ruffly top is just the sweetest, especially with the pearl detailing. *swoon* This outfit has so many special details that really make it stand out. It's such a feminine, romantic look. You wear it beautifully! And, you know, it's in my favorite palette!
