Helping women love what they wear on a budget

How to Wear a Yellow Pleated Skirt

February 24, 2021 by Katie Haller

How to Wear a Yellow Pleated SkirtI’ve been loving pleated skirts lately.  A few months ago I found this yellow pleated skirt at ThredUP and I’ve been dying to share it on the blog.  I’m also dying to actually wear it somewhere.  I think that it would be the perfect teacher skirt.  It makes me want to go out and get a new teaching job just so I can wear this skirt.  But since I’m not going to actually do that, I guess I will share it with all of you incase you are looking for a little work wear inspiration. 

I love the golden yellow color.  It’s a really fun color to have in your wardrobe because it can brighten up any outfit.  I often wear yellow when I’m trying to add a pop of color to my boring winter outfits.  I’ve even shared a blog post in the past wear I styled my yellow t-shirt (HERE).  I always like to wear yellow with navy blue or denim.  I also love to wear it with black and white.

Here are some outfit ideas below wearing this skirt that would be perfect for the classroom, office or where ever you might want to dress up.

    I love the color yellow. It's such a happy and vibrant color. Every time I see it, it makes me smile and this pleated skirt is no exception. I also adore how versatile it is and it's such a classic piece.

Happy Mother’s Day!! 💕 Today I am truly embracing this day and remembering how much I always wanted to be a mom! 

I recently came across a journal entry I wrote 10 years ago on Mother’s Day—right after my second miscarriage. I wrote that I was ready to be a mom, but I was so scared and worried about our future. I didn’t know when and if it would actually happen. 

One month later, I was pregnant with my son.

And now here I am, ten years later—tired, busy, deeply grateful, and fully embracing this season I once wanted so so bad! 

To every mom today—in the waiting, in the chaos, or missing the days that flew by—I see you. We are all in this together! 💕
