I've never met a pleated skirt I didn't love, especially when paired with knee-high socks and a fun peter pan collar button down top.
At Miu Miu, models wear their pleated skirts with technical bathing suits and multiple belts. At Prada, a skirt is suspended from a leather belt with metal rings.
Everyone in downtown New York looks like a school girl these days, and it is a look that I won't tire of any time soon.
It's timeless, it's fun, it makes me feel like someone I've always been and yet also like a character I'm having fun becoming.
