Loving this Elie Tahari pleat combo skirt from Neiman Marcus. The diagonal pleats on this otherwise classic A-skirt line are both original and unexpected, amping up the “oomph” factor on it.

I also really like the slight natural rise of this skirt, perfect to hide any muffin tops or “I ate too much” lunch syndrome. I’d pair this skirt with a crisp white blouse, ideally under the coordinating jacket (available for $448 also at Neiman Marcus).
