Plum’s Perfect 10 is a collection of 10 items that we love. Our third selection is the Plum Knit Skirt because it is the perfect backdrop to any outfit. This fitted knit pencil skirt stretches when your body moves, but you feel pulled together as if you were wearing office wear. No one will notice the difference!

Build any look off this comfortable and stylish skirt. Try the preppy look above with this Kensie Polka Dot Sweater in Cream Combo (coming soon!), Plum’s Classic White Button-up, and a statement necklace worn just at the crewneck with the collar buttoned up. Or dress this skirt up for a night out with the Cap Sleeve Blouse with Flared Back (below), a layered jeweled chain necklace and a bold clutch.

Wear the waistband high, and it gives you the sense that you are held in. Or fold the waistband over and wear at hip level. The double layer knit lining has a smoothing function, so no VPLs (Visible Panty Lines) to be spotted! Just pull the Plum knit skirt on and balance comfort and style. This season, the Plum Knit Skirt is priced at $49 dollars and is available in Empire Grey and Rolling Stone Brown.

We give this skirt a perfect 10. How are you wearing it?

Plum’s Perfect 10 is a collection of 10 pieces that we love. Our second selection, the Plum Crossover Cap Sleeve Top is one of our favorite pieces to wear because it is flattering for women of all shapes. The crossover style creates a V neck that elongates the upper body and draw attentions to the face. Fitted but not clingy, the fabric subtly defines the waist when it ruches on the side.

Dressier than a t-shirt, the top works to create a multitude of looks. As shown below in Orchid, the bright colour of the top pulls this work appropriate outfit together when tucked into the Grey Print Elastic Waist Pencil Skirt. We love to add a pop of colour with this top and this season, there is quite a variety of fall hues: Cranberry, Dijon, Moss, Navy, Sea Green and Orchid.  Also available in Black, Ivory and White, the crossover top is the perfect layering piece.

For weekend excursions, layer the crossover top under a Kersh Tabbed Sleeve Cardigan with your favorite skinny bottoms like the Mavi Alexa pants in Caramel paisley print above. A large printed scarf ties the look together. The Plum Crossover Cap Sleeve Top is priced at $39.

We give this top a perfect 10. How are you wearing it?

Remember when I said we took notes? Well, we did a little more than that. We developed a unique training program tailored to Plum with the help of Katherine Lazaruk of ICU Image Consulting. The program focuses on 3 aspects of styling: Colour, Body Analysis, and Personality, and we have already done the first two training modules.

In today’s fast and cheap fashion world, there is a plethora of styles, patterns, cuts, fits and trends. Advanced knowledge about fashion is falling to the wayside, and as a fashion lover, I know I am sick of the confusion of too many options, unsatisfactory impulse purchases and a bulging closet of sub-standard clothing, and we hope to change that.

By implementing better training in styling, we strive to know the answers as to why something works or doesn’t work on your body, and be able to tell you so or point out what would make the difference. We at Plum are aiming to put the right clothes on the right people, and let’s have some fun while we are at it!

Stay tuned for more details on this exciting development!
