One of my favorite pieces for summer is a light-weight and flowy pleated skirt or dress. So I thought I'd share two of my go-to outfits right now—one is casual for a weekend brunch and one is a little dressier for that summer wedding or special event!

It's so dry here in Los Angeles in the summer that static cling becomes my nemesis. According to Jockey and their Solutionary™, this makes me a victim of 'The Shake Down'—that classic move that combines one part wiggle and two parts tug brought on by a case of all over static. So, I've paired the outfits with Jockey's Anti-Static Skimmies ® Slipshorts (a slipshort that you wear as your undies and they help prevent static cling! Genius!).

I love pairing an easy tee in a great color with this pleated skirt. It's feminine, casual, and comfortable.

Pair a long maxi pleated dress with a shimmery shrug and it makes the dress go from just pretty to really special.

Do you love pleats as much as I do? They just seem so flattering all around!
