I’ve been obsessed with pleats since forever so when I saw this pleated chartreuse skirt I know I had to have it.  It’s prefect for spring summer and worked well for the first of many roof top events I attend this season.  This skirt was a true show stopper.  Oh and did I mention is has a front split.  Yes, the front split always you to show a little leg.  This high-rise waist skirt comes with smooth woven fabric.  The knife-pleat design skirt does run true to size.  Being 100% polyester the skirt is machine washable.

I paired the chartreuse skirt with a fun tiger tee that I cut the neck of.  The tiger tee and the clutch were the first items received from Zara.   You can see the look I wore on St. Louis day one here.  Zara has not completely turned plus size by any means.  However, Zara does have some items that a plus size girl can pick up.  Before you stop read and run out to Zara let me try you want I feel a plus size girl can get from the trendy store.  Pants are a no.  Zara pants stop at a size 14 and run small.  Tops are a maybe.  Zara tops like their dresses are hit or miss for a plus girl size 18 or smaller.  They have many “oversized” shirts and tees that a curvy girl could wear with no problem.  Accessories are a yes.  I think Zara is a great opportunity for a curvy girl to upgrade her bags game.  I personal love many of the looks Zara has to offer.  Their clothes really speak to my style.  I really to hope they expand their sizes.
