Pleats and Thank You to the Maxi; How to Wear a Bodysuit

The bodysuit is BACK, y’all.  I won’t front; I fought this trend because I hate the idea of inevitably having to get naked just to go to the bathroom, but bodysuits with snaps have redeemed this trendy item.  I’m sharing how to wear one for the summer months ahead with a pleated maxi skirt.

Graduating to the Next Level of Style with Francesca’s

{This post is sponsored by Francesca’s!  Thank you for supporting the brands that allow me to pursue What Nicole Wore.  All opinions shared are my own.}

This time of year can be so busy with end of the school year, graduations, Memorial Day weekend — the list goes on!  For me, one of the ways I’ve learned to stop overextending myself is to figure out my one-stop shops and knock everything off my to-do list in one swoop.  That’s one of the reasons I love shopping at Francesca’s; no matter what outfit I’m looking for or which friend or family member is on my gift list, I know I’ll be able to find an item that’s just what I need.

Today, I’m sharing the pleated skirt that’s perfect to wear to graduation.
