One Skirt // Twelve Ways

I was going through old photos and realized that I have been playing favorites, with yellow pleated skirts!

Last fall I started getting really into pleated midi skirts, and bought a few new ones in fun colors: specifically red, blue and yellow. Ever since, they’ve all been in full wardrobe rotation and I’ve styled some so many times! Since right now were in the month of yellow, I wanted to share 12 ways to style a yellow pleated skirt but if yellow isn’t really your thing, I’m sure you can make most of these looks work with a red, blue or even neutral skirt like metallic silver or basic black (boo).

Although this rainbow top only has a bit of yellow, I thought it would be really refreshing to pair it with a sunny skirt and fresh pops of white. As re transition into spring I love working white accessories into almost every look (have you noticed) because they help even your older pieces feel reimagined for spring! This snap was taken on set for a fun shoot with @EbayFashion

This look is one I wore in London when I was there last fall for Fashion Week. It’s super simple, but still really fun and different. I took a striped sweater with purple, red and yellow and paired it with my yellow skirt. I love how the veritable pleats play with the horizontal stripes and that the navy cap helps balance things out. I also wore navy socks and black combat boots + a little red backpack to tie in the red on my sweater.

The surprising part about all the ways I styled this skirt, are that most are with sneakers. You think a pleated skirt would need heels or a blouse, BUT NO. Here I paired it with a pink sneakers & a pink short sleeve sweatshirt. I finished it off with a yellow bag & aviators.

Aside from pleated skirts I’m loving the big sleeve trend we saw from fall and am hoping it continues to live on. For this look I paired purple/pink booties, bag & blouse with the yellow skirt! When I wore this, Paris made fun of me for rocking all the colors and called me a crazy looking laker girl I’ll take it! Also try this look with lavender since its having such a major moment for spring!

You guys know I love a monochromatic look, so naturally I had to do an all yellow number starring this skirt. I wore this look in Alabama when I went home with Paris for the first time last thanksgiving, the photos were taken on his families property. I’m wearing a oversized mock turtleneck sweater in a almost identical yellow shade with a matching beret and bag, plus a fun rainbow sneaker for something different south of my ankles.

Before things got too cold, I wore this yellow skirt with slightly lighter yellow pieces: like a lemon sweater, beret (lighter than the one in look 6) & sneaker combo. The sweater is cropped & boxy so it gives you a little bit of skin at the midriff. I also paired it with my bright yellow bag that is almost the same tone as the skirt, you may remember it from other looks.

So this is technically not the same yellow skirt, its a similar gold  / mustard version I have but I have worn this same yellow skirt with the look above, I just failed to get a photo of it, so I photoshopped the skirt a bit here so you could get the gist. Anyways for this look I mixed gold with yellow for something a little dressier and unexpected.

This look is a totally different side of my style. Since my smallest point is my waist, I usually like to show that off and make it defined, but here all bets are off. For this look I wore Paris’s sweater over my skirt for a comfy, casual, kind of masculine look – I mean come one, you know you could see Jaden Smith in this. I amped it up with a pop of red on my lips and on my hip.

Last weekend, I wore the same skirt with a few blush pieces and comfy layers. It was cool but not that cold, plus I was so over wearing a coat – so I layered up on two sweaters, a cardigan and a fuzzy jacket. We walked a bunch that day so I wore my bag as a belt to tie the shoes together and keep my hands free. Plus I love that the chunky cardigan under my jacket gives you an added pop of color.

This was for a fun editorial ad I did for instagram, but I love the outfit so much I think I’ll have to resurrect it when the temps drop. Here I styled a black and white polka dot tie top with our favorite skirt & keep the yellow party going up top with bold eye make up and serious earrings.
