New haircut

Finally cut my hair and donated it to the locks of love. I seriously could not wait much longer and so, as soon as I got the desired 10 inches, I made an appointment with the hairdresser.

This is me right after I got my cut.

Pleated skirt and opaque tights

One of my latest passions, wardrobe-wise, is raspberry color. It started unexpectedly when I purchased a pair of gorgeous raspberry heels. From then on I can't seem to be able to pass up anything in that shade, from raspberry all the way to burgundy.



Here I am wearing burgundy cashmere sweater, ASOS grey skirt, raspberry Via Spiga heels, and Hue raspberry opaque tights



And here we are with my pride and joy in the city, spending an afternoon on South Street

Easter and pleats

Today was a gorgeous day and we enjoyed magical half an hour on the balcony before going to Mass.



We did not actually make it to Mess due to our church being overcrowded. First time we cam there was not parking, second time we found parking but there were no places to sit and Alejandro didn't like us standing up and started crying, so we had to retreat very quickly.





It's been a great holiday weekend with homemade Easter bread, colored eggs, family visits and time outdoors. Especially I enjoyed being able to put away my warm clothes and put on my Zara striped boatneck and red ASOS skirt. It was also nice not to wear heavy winter boots for a change:)

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:
1)Colorful skirt with a striped shirt

ASOS

2) Basic color skirt with bright opaque tights

ASOS, $62.67

3) Bright skirt with a contrasting or neutral skinny belt


4) Bright skirt with a neutral tank top
5) Neutral skirt with a bright tank top paired with a belted cardigan
6) Bright skirt with a flesh-colored top with a white or navy blazer
