Pretty Pleated Maxi Skirts For Ever-Flowing Style (thefind Guest Post)

by Julia DiNardo

From our friends at thefind.com:

While maxi dresses may always have a special place in summer trends as a go-to for instant, comfortable warm-weather glamour, it’s become pretty clear that maxi skirts have taken their place as the trendiest way to keep cool this upcoming season. Flowing fabric, long lengths, and the importance to be extra mindful of proportions make maxi skirts a not-so-easy trend to pull off, but for those who succeed, the look is romantic but still breezy with a boho-inspired feel, and undeniably comfortable. Sultry sheer panels and fun florals make these ultra-long skirts pretty, edgy, and summer-festive (especially when cinched with a wide belt), and fanciful pleats give them that extra movement so you don’t look or feel like you’re wearing a sheet. Paired with the right sleek blouse or colorful tank (or even a fitted blazer for those chillier nights out) and you’ve got yourself a bevy of day or not options for a look that’s laidback-luxe.

Switch Things Up Between Seasons With a Knit Sweater Skirt (thefind Guest Post)

by Julia DiNardo

From our friends at thefind.com:

While traditionally reserved for cozy winter trends, ugly Christmas sweater parties, and general bundle-up weather, knitwear isn’t only for guarding yourself against the bitter cold. In fact, a knit sweater skirt can serve as an integral part of your tricky between-seasons style transition. It can be tough looking chic during the awkward winter-to-spring transition when it’s a bit too warm to rely on your cold-weather digs, but not quite warm enough to break out the Spring break wear, but a sweater skirt has you covered when it comes to further customizing your look to suit the unpredictable weather at hand. For example, this Tommy Hilfiger cable knit sweater skirt is nice and cozy when paired with tights and a crisp tailored top, but can be warmed up for spring with the right lightweight silky blouse and espadrille wedges. The same can be said for this J. Crew sweater pencil skirt – it’s the perfect mix of warm but breathable, and its stretchy knit allows for maximum curve-hugging appeal. And don’t forget to jump on spring’s midi skirt trend – this Marc by Marc Jacobs Jacosta sweater skirt allows you to get a head start on the look by rocking the trend now while it’s still chilly out!

Pleated Skirts, Not Just For The Tennis Court! (thefind Guest Post)

by Julia DiNardo

From our friends at thefind.com:

While free-flowing maxi skirts and skin-tight bandage sheaths have ruled the trend report for the past couple summer months, it’s time to wrap up this year’s heat wave with a different sort of mini – the pleated skirt! Pleats may have a reputation of being too preppy, regularly reserved for school uniforms and the tennis court, but these new takes on the style prove that pleats have a place in the season’s trend watch! From silky micro-pleats like this Marilyn Monroe-esque Club Monaco skirt to more structured wool-blended versions like this Philip Lim 3.1 skirt, which is perfect to pair with a pair of tights when the weather gets chillier, pleats can be surprisingly versatile, transitioning from day to night and summer to fall, depending on the look you’re going for! Add a dash of clean-cut preppiness to rocker-chick leather with this Alice + Olivia skirt that toes the line between straight-laced and edgy, and jump on-board the everlasting colorblocked trend with this Alexander McQueen mini. Whether you’re looking for an office or a party look, it’s time to consider welcoming pleats into your wardrobe!

Step Lively in a Pair of Color Blocked Pumps (thefind Guest Post)

by Julia DiNardo

From our friends at thefind.com:

Tired of your go-to classic black, patent nude, or gray suede pumps? Apparently this season’s shoe outlook is that solids are overrated, so why not embrace some funky layered hues with a pair of color blocked pumps? These three (or four) toned heels are the perfect way to amp up an otherwise monochromatic or neutral-hued outfit. Rock with your tried and true little black dress – no matter how many times you’ve worn it before, a pair of heels that really pop will make it seem like a whole new dress! Or, add some spunk to a sophisticated pair of slacks or even your favorite jeans for a look that really stands out among the dull solid shoes of seasons past! Sure, they may require a little more guts to pull off, but think of it this way – the more colors incorporated into one shoe, the more likely you’ll have something they’ll match with!
