Pleats With A Spin Let Us Shine From Within

Feel like you can't pull off the 'Beis Yaakov' look?

You're so wrong.

You don't have to find that typical black pleated skirt that almost every yeshivish girl owns (which I personally love). You can take that look

and add a spin to it!

I found that thinnerpleats and metallic tones are a great alternate to this

classic look. Regardless of your figure, this style flatters every body shape and every height.

I'd advise that girls who are more petite wear skirts that end about 5 inches below the knee, whereas girls with a fuller figure to wear skirts that end 3 inches below the knee. (Proportionally it just looks better.)

Make sure when you sit down the skirt still covers your knee. Don't be embarrassed to find a chair to sit on for a few seconds. Hashem will be smiling at you as you do it :)

The two skirts shown to the right can both be found at Topshop. Personally, I think the colors of these skirts are too striking, BUT I love the size of the pleats and the cut of the skirt.

When choosing such a strong metallic color you should make sure that the rest of the pieces in your outfit are simple. Also it helps if you wear an outfit like this at night.

May we always act and look the way HaKadosh Baruch Hu's daughter's should. May we inspire, grow, and consistently improve ourselves, and may HKBH always continue to bless us!
