Welcome to Copy Cat, my brand new feature where I find an item of clothing that has hit the blogging world by storm and see how different bloggers have styled it up. I've been thinking of doing this for a little while now but didn't really know where to start until I started to see THIS burgundy pleated skirt from Topshop all over the blogging world. I fell victim to this skirt like so many others but can you blame us, it's gorgeous! Surprisingly, it still seems to be fully stocked in on topshop.com so it obviously isn't as popular as we all think...
So how do you think my catz have worn the skirt then? I think the 5 of us have all styled it differently but still manage to maintain our own personal touch which is what dressing up is all about because we don't really want to be a copy cat do we. If anyone else has this skirt just let me know so I can include you on the cat list as well =)
EDIT: Elisabeth also has the skirtIn the words of Lizzy, Viva La Gran because this skirt really does conjure up a bit of the OAP action! I wonder what my cat item in April will be, a black sheer shirt, a Peter Pan tunic or maybe some floral harems for summer...?
Hair appointment tomorrow, yey x
Oddly it's never struck me as particularly grannyish. I think it's probably because of the funky way everyone has styled it and the beautiful colour - it doesn't look like your typical old lady polyester pleated skirt.
ReplyDeleteI love it on your, I like anything berry coloured. I can't rock mid length at all :( xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant idea for a regular feature - will look forward to this. LOVE your pink Docs, so cool with the skirt. xx

Love this skirt, and love that colour too!xx
ReplyDeleteDelightful, delightful. YES, everyone has done such a lovely job styling this gorgeous skirt. I am loving the colour + love that you paired yours with pink Doc Martins, SO cute! xx veronika
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely comment:) I love the idea of your new post and the skirt looks great on. Its one of those things I always look at on a hanger and think I'll never get away with that! One of my new years resolutions was to try everything on first before I made a decision. Can't wait for the next copycat post x
ReplyDeleteYou are rocking that skirt lady :)
ReplyDeleteHey look, it's me! Thanks very much for the mention :). I know what you mean about the unpopularity of this skirt though - there are still loads in the stores that I've been into. Seems a shame, it's going to be great for summer :).
ReplyDeleteHave fun at your hair appointment, I hope it comes out the way you want! x
This is a great idea for a blog post!
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing that skirt in TopShop and thinking it would be very hard to style, but looking at these photos apparently not :D
I reckon the trick is to pair it with more modern pieces to stop it look too granny-chic

I'm following from now, love the blog and that necklace is dead cute! :)

What a great idea! I LOVE seeing how other people style items I have in my wardrobe, especially tricky ones like this skirt. Love your outfit - the boots clash perfectly with the skirt! :) x
ReplyDeleteI love this skirt, I really want it. I'm a bit worried about wearing it with flat shoes though. Good inspiration for how to wear it though!
ReplyDeleteI have a red pleated skirt as well. Literally have only worn it once. I'm stumped at how to wear it, but have been taking inspiration from Jen, Jaz and Kristabel...and now you :)
ReplyDeleteDo you know what? I really don't mind people copycating somethng of me, sure it means they like my style no? Plus, I probably got 'inspired' (that's what it's called in 'legal' terms) as well by someone far more awesome than I such as emma watson or someone like that :P good feature, and make the next one bright pink brogues.. though i haven't seen anyone wear it yet on blogs.
ReplyDeleteI love the different looks with this piece! It looks great with so many things, I particularly like the browns/nudes with it, and the stripy top ala Jen! xoxo
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I do like this skirt, although I'd probably rather get one from a charity shop - the colour is great though!
ReplyDeleteI love these pleated skirts! Very cool idea for a feature.
ReplyDelete♥ Leia

ReplyDeleteVery nice , I shall try..
ReplyDeleteWell deserved! I really enjoy your blog and am impressed by your finds. Keep it up!
Sweet memories.

Haha i like the new feature and its name because it is .. very apt? I can't blame everyone for liking the skirt. I love it too!
ReplyDeleteI used to wear a pleated skirt like this for school (in blue) I wish I'd have kept it now, don't know it it'd still fit me.
