YEP, yet another post about pleated skirts! I know I’ve been over-doing it a bit lately, but this maxi is just so so special and I also wanted to share a few different ways to style this gorgeous ruffled-sleeve crop top with you guys this week. I’ve had a tough time finding crop tops that look chic and classy, but also stay on trend and keep me cool in warm weather – this L’Academie ruffled-sleeve silky number from Revolve is THE crop top to end my fear of the trend! It comes in 3 different colors and literally goes with everything! Check out my casual, boho-chic take with this top and a bright colorful maxi from last week here, and stay tuned for an upcoming post on how to wear it with wide-legged pants and jeans… And in this post, see how you can dress up a maxi skirt with this billowy blouse to make an outfit fit for special events (think weddings, bridal showers, etc.)! My favorite part about this outfit is that it costs < $125 with both skirt and top on sale! Keep reading for similar styles that take a simple pleated maxi from Sunday best to wedding guest-chicest dressed! SHOP THE POST [show_shopthepost_widget id="1720351"]
