@lolakimono  I was crazy for pleated skirts at one point in my life. You would not have liked my closet back then!

 

No doubt you're familiar with Fortuny and those famous pleats. Do those make any difference or you're just not on board with any pleats?

 

(I was going to post a Fortuny example but what I remember in my mind is not what is coming up on a search. The Google examples are not very attractive so it totally defeats my premise!) Woman LOL


@GingerPeach 

I can't get on board with any pleats, LOL.  I think maybe because they remind me of lampshades AND they accentuate a tummy.  I also dislike pleated pants and pleated front pants.

I have a smidge more tolerance when they are in a heavier fabric and when they don't begin at the waistband.

The colors are beautiful, but do not like the skirt. I don't do pleats, adds way too much bulk to my mid section. The colors though are stunning!

they work together but they're not colors Im particularly fond of... I discovered recently that lavendar and green look amazing together!

 

 

@lolakimono 

do you dislike all pleats or just the accordian ones on the pants and skirt? I love a pin tuck pleat on a blouse or a shutter (horizontal) pleat on a sleeve....I suppose it's mostly on tops that I appreciate the textural interest...

I absolutely LOVE this color combo! It reminds me of colors I paired together in the 80's, and would rock it today in a heartbeat! It. I have clothes in the color of the skirt, because I LOVE all things pink-always have. It's my signature color, so I think I will definitely pair it with purple now.๐Ÿ˜Š

@lolakimono 

I donโ€™t own or wear much pink or purple, but I like the colors and the outfit. 

 

I like this one too. More in my color comfort zone.

I'm the one who isn't crazy about purple...........However, this purple could be a tad lighter in the sunlight.  Maybe it's a medium violet?   

 

I'll have to look at a color chart in the purple/lilac/violet ranges.  It can be tricky, describing purple-ish colors.

 

Anyhow, I love this color combination.  Heart

 

I'd probably wear it if the purple is more of a medium purple, which it looks as though it could be, in the direct sunlight, not shade.

p.s. ............ I just looked again.   Depending on how I tilt my laptop, looks as though this shade of purple top has a bit of pink in it. 

 

Therefore, I like it !

 

I'm sure that it's lovely in person...........

I had bought a suit in 1980 by Yves Saint Laurent and had the skirt with those colours. The blazer was monotone and the ends of the sleeves had two colours of magenda and pink.

The skirt was magenda and the bottom had lines of pink and magenda.
