A month ago I wrote a post about the pink pleated skirt of my dreams. It’s so good, I’ve since bought it in two more colours!
It’s probably breaking some kind of blogger etiquette to write about the same thing twice, but I can’t resist sharing this skirt with you again. Simply because it’s such so perfect and versatile. The kind of clever buy that I know will carry on being useful until autumn. And all for £8.
Pleated skirt + tee + denim jacket = my easy-peasy new uniform
Unusually for Primark, it’s a really good fit. Especially if you’re (like me) a pear shape. You’d think a pleated skirt would be unflattering, but I find it skims over my tummy and hips, and accentuates my waist. The fabric is also key to its appeal – soft jersey, which is practical and informal.
These skirts were back in stock in my local Primark last week and I snapped up a khaki green and a soft blue. I tried about a million other things on, but these skirts still came out tops. They’re a hidden gem that’s worth investing in – even if it means you have to go and rummage in your local store!
Have you got one of these skirts? How do you like to style it?

Love this skirt – I am much more chunky around the middle so sadly these things never look nice on me as they do on you!

Thanks Charlotte! I’m pretty chunky round the middle too right now – this skirt is very forgiving and flattering!! x

I loveeeee this skirt too! I also have it in duck egg blue and grey – plus the blue and green you have! The only thing is there are a total pain to wash, as we predicted… but still worth it for £8 each!

I washed mine on a delicate cycle and it seems ok so far! Took a long time to dry though! x
