pleated long skirt: styled 3 ways…

i remember the first time i saw this skirt in the store…absolutely loved the print…loved the length…but pleats? i’ve got hips…and they are not small…i tried it on…again…the print is so fabulous…and different…and i needed some new longer skirts…so i figured…i could make it work…somehow diminish my hips…make it look…
