I've been looking to add some new styles to my summer wardrobe recently, and Kate Middleton's beautiful ivory outfit for the women's singles finals at Wimbledon just inspired me to add the least expected item.
Maybe it's the 30-year-long memories of itchy wool school uniform, or not finding a style that suits my pear shape, but I have actively avoided pleated skirts for my adult life. The closest I got was a maxi skirt with a chunky belt that I lived in my early 20s (if you know, you know).
