The "Carrie" skirt

This skirt has been a huge statement piece this spring / summer. When studying
its beautiful pleats and scrumptious ice cream colour it comes as no surprise
  that this Whistles item has received so much attention. With such high demand
 and publicity there have been many articles on how to wear it (see Grazia's double
 page spread below), so in true bird and bee style I fancied doing my own.
I adore pleated skirts and love the midi length, but as I am only petite I chose to
team mine with the AllSaints celestine heel, £135 reduced to £54 in the sale,

 extremely comfortable. I also  opted for a suede bag, to keep my accessories
 soft and feminine. My bag is the Reiss  Duke bag, £179, the biscotti colour is
 from Autumn / Winter but it is still currently available  in different colours click to view.
 My tshirt is an extremely cheap and cheerful h&m number, I picked it because it looks
 identical to a whistles tee, they are located in the basic section in most stores.
This skirt has become more popular than the creme egg, especially with brands such
as River Island doing £34.99 replicas (click to buy) instead of the £95.00 Whistles price
tag, so how are you styling yours? I'd love to hear your thoughts or send me your photos.
