What’s up, friends?
First off, Happy Halloween!! If you missed my Halloween Happenings blog last week, be sure to check it out for a treat of #ThingsToDo for the spooky holiday tonight. Let me know what you choose!
Once Halloween is over, I immediately start thinking about fall fashions and new looks I can try. In my endless Instagram and Pinterest scrolling, I started to see a pattern… pleats. And honestly, I realized how much I’m in love with them! I never thought I could pull pleats off, but after trying on a few pieces recently, I’ll #humblebrag and say I was rockin’ this look.
There are so many different styles of pleats. From a casual weekend look to workwear that will be great for the 9 to 5, I just couldn’t help myself.
So of course, I thought I would share my finds with you and give you the 411 on Dressy vs. Casual pleats.
And please tell me, which side suits you best?
Dressy
Pleated Shift Dress | J.Crew Factory | $64.50
J.Crew Factory stole my heart again with their Pleated Shift Dress in Wool Flannel for only $64.50. Perfect for work and fast forward to those holiday parties, this vintage forest shade is icing on the cake, right?
 Schoolboy Blazer | J.Crew Factory | $94.50 |

Pair your pleated dress with a chic blazer for the chilly office temps and a playful necklace for a glitzy touch.
Casual
Okay, if this look doesn’t scream, “Blair Waldorf on the steps of the Met” (thanks for the inspo Gossip Girl) I don’t know what does. I love the mix and match of stripes and pleats here with a sophisticated loafer. Let’s go piece by piece!
