Black pleated skirt styled 4 ways- H&M

I have found the cutest black pleated skirt from H&M! Pleated skirts seem to be quite popular right now and I know why! Comfort, flowy, pretty and can be dressed up or worn casually.

This particular skirt has an elastic waist and it flows beautifully.

The pleated skirt lends itself to a feminine look when paired with a silky top. I seriously should have bought two of these ruffle necked blouses.

Oh wait! I did!

One is cream and the other a gorgeous navy blue.

You can see it styled here and here.

The blouse is long on me because I am short waisted. No worries just tuck it in, blousan it a little bit and add a belt.

The skirt looks so pretty with the top and then the double breasted jacket also from H&M.

To really bring in the feminine look add a kitten heeled sling back pretty shoe. I am in love with these comfortable Anne Klein shoes.

I can walk a lot in them and that is saying a lot!

Plus they are under $60!

To finish off the outfit I added a small black purse.

Faux leather jacket with pleated skirt

For a more casual look but still feminine and pretty I brought out my cheetah sweatshirt and my faux suede jacket. It is super lightweight and very comfortable.

Mine is out of stock but here is similar one and it is under $60

I wear this jacket a lot. You can see how I styled with some jeans here.

My flat pointy toed shoes with a buckle look super cute with this combo. These shoes are little more pricey but worth it and they come in lots of different colors!

I think adding this crew neck cheetah sweatshirt is such a fun way to make this outfit even more casual.

There are not a lot sizes left for this sweatshirt but I found another one you might like here.

Wearing the sweatshirt over the the ruffle collar blouse and adding a scarf if it is chilly makes for a cute outfit.

Changing up the shoes to leather sneakers also creates a very fun spunky casual look.

Jean jacket with pleated skirt

The 4th way to style the pleated skirt is to pop on a denim jacket! You can watch my video to see all four styled pleated skirt outfits.

Denim jackets are so perfect for sooo many outfits. Don’t you agree?

I grabbed my favorite pair of tortoise shell sunglasses and a little backpack and I am good to go pretty much anywhere!

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
