So it turns out that the super pleated skirt style that’s everywhere right now, isn’t all that hard to sew. I whipped this skirt up in an afternoon, sans pattern no less. Oh, and I went tea-length, even though that’s a big no no for petites, and even though I don’t drink tea. Because tea-length dresses are beyond lovely, classic and modest. All the things I love love love in clothing.
Aren’t the white painted trunks on these citrus trees just dreamy? One of the few agricultural beauties in Arizona. I had to find something good about my location because it’s 97 degrees outside right now, and that just turns me into a big curmudgeon. If this is spring, I am dreading the summer.
Hope your weekend is cooler than mine. Literally.
WOW! That skirt is amazing! What fabric did you use and how did you do it? STUNNING!
That skirt is beautiful! I’m really starting to envy so many of you with sewing skills! I must learn!

WOW! That skirt is beautiful! You’ve got to share the tutorial!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!
Gorgeous. I would like to order one in size 6, tea length obviously. Ship to sad girl who never learned how to sew. Thanks!
I love tea-length! And I love that fabric. And the pleats. Shall I go on… It is PERFECT! I’m so jealous :)
super, super cute!! love it!
BEAUTIFUL! You’re so talented, I think you need to post a DIY. Not for me, I can’t sew, but so I can send it to my more talented friends :P
Holy cow, that is GORGEOUS! It’s super expensive looking..something you could find at Anthro! You are so cute in it too…love it!
I’d love some more info on the skirt! I know how to sew but more info on measuring on just whipping up a skirt would be helpful!

Awesome skirt and for the record, Sarah J Parker and Kelly Ripa have been seen in the longer hem lines. So pretty! I am 5’1″ and I have a dress with longer hem and I absolutely love it! Let’s bring back modesty and ladylike!
This is great! No pattern either, huh? Wow. Looks like it was bought in some store! Very nice. I think once in a while us petites could and should break some fashion rules and rock ’em! You totally rocked the tea-length skirt.
This is an amazing skirt and I love the length! I can definitely see that pleats are coming in and I myself have been dying to either buy one or learn how to make one!

love the skirt, tea length is indeed a favorite for me, also a petite.
So really how did you make the skirt. I was sewing the other night and wouldn’t have been able to pull that off.
Oh my word. You are stunning! I’m in such awe that you made that skirt yourself – I can’t even sew a button on. I’m pathetic. You look gorgeous! I love this outfit and I could actually wear it to work, I think!
I noticed your profile said you’re 4 10 and 3/4…I’m barely 1/2 an inch taller at 4 11 and 1/4. Wow. I have to say, I kind of like being short though. I’m really okay with it. :)

That skirt is SUPER awesome and you rock it!!!! I love the photos.
Hey! I found you via What Andie Wears, today, and I’m so glad I did! I’m 4’11” and have so much trouble getting dressed, sometimes! My style blog has helped tremendously, and I’m not a thin petite, so it’s even more of a challenge! You’re so beautiful and I already love your style from reading just a handful of posts! Newest follower, girl! :)
such a cute skirt, you did an awesome job and it looks adorable on too!
Oh my goodness so cute! I came across your blog through Elaine’s. How in the world do you find time to “whip up” a skirt in one afternoon with 3 kids?? Great job!!
I wish I could just whip up a skirt like that! It’s amazing and so cute! Good choice on the tea length…I love it!
Love your style and such a cute blog
oh my…what a lovely skirt! so fun and springy! I’m popping by from the Pleated Poppy-
You did a great job on those pleats! Super hard, especially when you are trying to line up a pattern in the fabric.
Love the skirt, you rocked it.
That skirt is sooooo fabulous!!!
