Cheap + Chic: Pleats Please

This weeks Vintage Cheap But Chic has some really good bargains in fashion chic-ness. Each of these great pieces has a great pleating detail and I really love how they could all work for the office and each other. Pair that cute floral dress with some rich burgundy tights or pair either of the blouses with that fantastic asymmetrical skirt. I love them all!

Clockwise from top left:
1. Charcoal asymmetrical pleated wool skirt from madam0wl = $13.00 (FAB deal!)
2. 70s bold mauve and gray floral dress from 123bamvintage = $17.00
3. Classic white button down with a twist from shopgoodgrace = $28.00 (ok this one is over the $20 budget but it's sooooooo worth it!)
4. Beautiful delicate floral blouse from VerseauVintage = $18.00
