Pleated Skirts: My current obsession

It is amazing how fashion repeats over and over again, my current obsession you may ask? Like my title states the Pleated Skirt…. I remember telling my mom when I was younger how I would never wear pleats or skinnies or bellbottoms or high wasted anything and yet I find myself wearing every single kind of fashion that was out there and I can probably guarantee that my children will say the same thing. But where was this skirt derived from, where did it all start? Well it all started more than 80 years ago, where the trend took off, don’t get me wrong for decades women could only wear skirts but it is only in the early 1900’s were fashion came into play, where people started playing around with fabric where the volume of the dresses and skirts became narrower and women beginning to take charge of what they wanted to wear. The trend was a hit in the 1920’s where women wore this trend just below the bust and as time went on it become lower to the waist. It then came back in the 1970’s and is now surprisingly back in 2012/2013!!!!! So why do I love this trend so much because of its modesty and how well you can cover up while looking stunning, it gives you the illusion that you have super long legs if worn with the proper heels and can make you look elegant without even trying to hard. For the girls who have an edgier funkier side to themselves don’t worry you can pull off this look no problem, pair it will Chuck Taylors or any pair funky sneakers and a oversized cardi and you are ready to go, looking on trend without even trying, how simple is that? I will be posting pics of this trend to give you an idea of how faboo!! This trend could be
