Playing with the length is another good idea. I'm short, so I feel like this length makes me look a bit stumpy. I actually have another pleated skirt - purple, midi length - that I have similar problems styling. I think one of them will have a date with the sewing machine once winter break starts! :)Carriehttp://petalbypetal11.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860217430618798778.post-11620537103105059762012-11-14T21:55:12.580-08:002012-11-14T21:55:12.580-08:00Kat - I think hemming is a good suggestion.

It's got such a beautiful wave to it and it really frames and shows off your pretty face!Katie of Ak Weredorkhttp://www.alaskanweredork.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860217430618798778.post-50268197788111279172012-11-13T22:09:21.296-08:002012-11-13T22:09:21.296-08:00I always felt the same way about pleated skirts, t...I always felt the same way about pleated skirts, they either looked dowdy or too "Schoolgirl" on me. But it's all about finding the shape of the skirt that you like and that fits for you. (I like me pleated skirts to sit at my natural waist and I like them about knee length or shorter, I'm pretty short so that helps me look a little bit taller.) I think this skirt is pretty gorgeous on you, it really doesn't make your hips look big at all, but shows off your tiny waist! I think a graphic tee would be fun with this, maybe tucked in or tied so there's still shape? And if you're still not happy, maybe adjusting the length might make you like it more. (The midi length does look lovely on you.)Katie of Ak Weredorkhttp://www.alaskanweredork.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
