Pleated Midi Skirt Styled 3 Ways

It has been quite some time since I shared an outfit post styling one item multiple ways. From a classic shirt dress to a leopard print tank, cozy cardigan, leopard print sweater and beyond, y’all seemed to really enjoy these posts last year. The moment I purchased this pleated midi skirt from H&M, I knew it was time to bring those posts back!

As I’ve said before, finding multiple ways to wear a single item in my wardrobe has become one of my favorite things. It truly has cut down on the amount of clothes I buy and it’s sort of a fun game to shop your wardrobe to style something in different ways

Similar to my recent workwear Target haul, I was also on the hunt for the perfect midi skirt. I wanted something that was dressier and perfect for an office environment or a special occasion, but also something I could dress down a bit and wear for multiple occasions through multiple seasons.

This pleated midi skirt checked all of the boxes! It is the perfect length which can sometimes be tricky for a barely 5’3” little lady like me. It is also extremely comfortable with an elastic waistband and the body of the skirt has so much movement which I love! I opted for the midi skirt in this beautiful moss green-grey color and I just adore it! It sort of changes color depending on the lighting and the in-between shade makes it perfect for styling in so many ways!

So without further ado, let’s take a look at this perfectly pleated midi skirt styled in 3 unique ways!

#1: CLASSIC FOR THE OFFICE

I love how simple and classic this look is, yet with a touch of trendiness and overflowing with femininity. This puff sleeve sweater is so incredibly soft, I was seriously impressed when I first tried it on. I sized up to a small so that it wasn’t super fitted and love it. This look is perfect for a professional office environment and can easily transition to after-work drinks.

#2: EDGY FOR DATE NIGHT OR GIRLS NIGHT OUT

If you’ve been following me for any length of time, you know one of my wardrobe must-haves is a leather jacket. This faux leather jacket from Target is one of my most worn items that pairs with nearly anything and everything, and is a great transition piece between seasons. I layered it over this fun leopard print tank for a pop of print and some sass, perfect for date night or a girls night out in the city.

#3: CASUAL FOR WEEKEND BRUNCH & ERRANDS

I love taking traditionally dressy pieces and making them more casual and approachable for everyday life. This pleated skirt is one of those pieces. Paired it with my go-to “make your mark” statement tee that I shared in my recent Target Haul and layered it with a denim jacket, another wardrobe must-have. Opted for my favorite blush slip-on sneakers and this look is ready for weekend brunch, errands, visiting family and everything in between!
