How to wear a pleated skirt

Lately I have been strongly drawn to pleated skirts, especially the ones below the knee, with small pleats. Pleated skirt is a surprisingly versatile piece of clothing, you can wear it with just about anything.

I recently purchased Jason Wu one from Target and it is adorable but on a short side - few inches above the knee.

I have been checking out many different ways to wear a pleated skirt and here are my preferred ones:
