At first glance, this appears to be a colorblocked maxi dress, but look a little closer and you’ll see it’s actually a pleated maxi skirt layered under a dress! I love mixing pieces together like this in different ways – not only is it fun to come up with unexpected combinations, but it also further expands your wardrobe.

Great colours together! I like how you find endless possibilities within what you have, and pleated styles that are usually quite heavy are surprisingly not too too voluminous here. lovely!

What a beautiful combination and you look stunning!
I really thought this was a dress! Love how you created this looks with layering. Gorgeous!
I am impressed! The skirt and the dress are from two different designers yet the accordion pleats line up so well!
What a beautiful dress!
awesome!! love this and so creative. The pleats are perfect together (which I find to be a small miracle!). Very cool. Love the nude accents, too.
