What I Wore - Pleated Crop Top & Shorts

When I get some free time I've gotten into the habit of going on bike rides. Today I threw on my pleated crop top and some shorts and got out into the warm weather that I'm sure isn't going to last much longer.

New In - Pleated Crop Top

I mentioned on my last diy that I had originally wanted to make a half pleated skirt and changed my mind half way through. After I finished the skirt, I was left with a strip of fabric already pleated. I decided it might be fun to have a pleated top to go with my new skirt.

   

The top is definitely a great piece that has already gotten quite a bit of wear. The pleats give it some visual interest and the slightly longer length for a crop top makes it easier to pair with different pieces.

New In - Pleated Skirt

I should probably be embarrassed by how far behind my blog is compared to my instagram. This is what happens you're super busy and a bad blogger; you get distracted and forget to post what you have. Forgive me and feast upon a newish skirt to my wardrobe.

The warmer weather has me craving some summer clothes. Honestly, it's not warm enough to wear skirts or dresses, but I want one anyways! If I make something more technically challenging, by the time I finish it will be warm enough to wear it. I've always loved trying new things, so I'm sewing a skirt with pleats for the first time. I haven't decided what it'll look like yet which has led me through the internet rabbit hole for inspiration. I think it will be a fun look to have a skirt that is half pleated, but whether that'll work with the fabric I have lined up, is up for debate. I'm going to start sewing and just hope for the best!
