I went into Loft the other day for a sweater and came out with a sweater and this fantastic {faux} leather pencil skirt. It looks really brown in these pictures but it’s actually a super amazing deep marsala color (plum raisin I think they call it), and is the softest most comfortable pencil skirt I’ve probably ever worn. I haven’t found a pencil skirt I really love in a few years, so this find was slightly monumental. I love the exposed seams down the front; details like that always make me giddy (clothes nerd). My husband loved the little slit in the front. ;-)
Boys…
Sometimes, I just really love a simple classic look. A pencil skirt and a chunky turtleneck sweater, just sing understated elegance and simplicity. I feel like this outfit can be worn to the office, to church, or even on a date. It translates quite beautifully to many situations. I love having pieces that are versatile like that in my closet. I end up pulling from them so much.
Even though these silhouettes are pretty low-key and basic you can still infuse an element of surprise into the look. Switching up the classic pencil skirt for one of the leather/faux leather variety is a great way to keep it feeling polished and profession while adding a little more personality and mixing it up a bit.
