Try-it-out Tuesday: blah

Calvin Klein tee, Macy's

Miss Sophisticates by Pendleton skirt, thrifted

belt, Old Navy 

     I'm starting to think that pleated skirts are like heels ... they look great on others, but just don't work for me.

     I want to like this outfit more than I really do. But the pleats seem to make my hips look bigger, and the colors are not the ones I usually gravitate to.

     I tried out the tee knotted instead of partially tucked and belted, and I think it makes me look a little leaner this way. I also like how it adds a casual touch.

   At this point, I'm ready to toss this top into my donations bag - as pretty as it is, I just don't think it's me. The skirt is a recent thrift find, so I'm not quite ready to let it go. I'm thinking about trying to pair it with a graphic tee, a red short-sleeve sweater, or even a navy buttondown knotted at the waist.

Constructive feedback welcome - how would you wear this skirt?
