"I was beyond thrilled when I scored this amazing pencil skirt. It&amp;#x27;s so perfect. I always felt like pencil skirts were not flattering to my body and felt too business-y for my taste. That was until this skirt ended all of my concerns.My style is very laid-back, so a pencil skirt is kind of dressy for me. This particular skirt, though, can be easily transformed from super fancy to more casual&amp;amp;mdash;the fabric is versatile, as well as the color! Pairing it with a sheer tank was the perfect combination for me because I didn&amp;#x27;t want to look too corporate-like. Adding a cardigan pulled the outfit together and soften the look, which I love. I wore my new pencil skirt over the weekend as I hosted an shopping event with Madewell! Can&amp;#x27;t wait to wear this more often in so many different ways! Style Tip: Try to pair your pencil skirts with blouses that can soften up your skirt; button-up shirts can make your pencil skirt look too much like a uniform, too structured or not unexpected enough. The pencil skirt is already rather structured as it hugs tightly to your body, so find a good balance between the blouse and skirt. How do you wear pencil skirts?
