A Throwback To The Past: Pleated Skirts Make A Comeback

   Vintage finds are delectable!  Especially when they just so happen to be coming "back into style"!  One of my favorites: the pleated skirt.  This way-back-when trend found it's way onto the fashion scene back in the 1920's and it's been evolving ever since.  True, the trend lost its appeal through the decades, disappearing for a while... that is, until renewed interest brought about its rebirth in the 60's.  But I'm happy to report that as of year 2011:  the pleated skirt is back.. and better than ever!  It's a look that echos "old time Hollywood", and it's a style you can make that's all your own.  Your best bet at finding one of these little beauties will probably be your grandmother's closet... or you could try a vintage store near you.  Other options include shops like "Forever 21" and "H&M".  Or there are several low-priced options you can find right here online.  Just search "pleated skirts" and then choose a few to pair with your best button-up blouse or classic blazer.  And don't forget to add your ruby-red lipstick and a loose, low chignon for an unforgettable look that's simply chic and unique.  So go out and make this throwback your comeback!
