I had been wanting a long pleated skirt for a long time since they're in at the moment. So, when I walked by this one in the store, I had to check the price and it was do-able enough for me. Next was decided which color- I really kept going towards the gold. At any rate I (obviously) ended up with maroon and wore it here with a navy ribbon-embellished cardigan, navy tights and navy faux-velvet ankle boots. For accessories, I wore a light blue striped scarf that has some maroon stripes with maroon tassle earrings. For makeup: navy and maroon shadows with naby eyeliner and maroon lipgloss. I put my hair into a high pony, which made me look like I was going to a 50s sock hop.
The pleated skirt with a scarf and button-down was inspired by a magazine ad I have, but failed to take a picture of.
