  2. I love the buttons on no. 1 although I do think the shape is probably more flattering on no. 2. Great finds.

  3. If you can afford them, J Crew also makes really amazing, flattering pencil skirts. Totally splurge-worthy.

  7. I LOVE pencil skirts, I've loved them for a while, I've been searching for the perfect denim pencil skirt for over a year now, I really like the cut of the new Shade and Down East Basics denim skirts. I feel like a pencil shows your shape off and it just feels sophisticated and put together.

  8. I love this look (and with FINALLY losing the baby weight after baby #5, I can wear it)...I even have one handed down from a friend. Can you give some ideas on what shirts look good with it? Especially for a pear-shaped girl like me?

  10. I think every woman needs a pencil skirt in their closet. I totally need one.... But I want one with the silhouette of 2 and 4 which are hard to find because they have slits all the way up your bum!!!

  11. Hey....did you know your blog is posted on Uptown Cheapskate's SLC website?!??

  12. Elaine - I think you could totally get away with something like 2. Even if it has a high slit, it's long enough you could close some of it, and still have enough slit before you show the back of your leg to the world.

    And yeah. I did know that my blog was on Uptown Cheapskate's website. Kind of random, but I was happy to see it there!

    Christa-
    I am totally on the hunt for the perfect denim pencil skirt! When I find it I will own it!

    Lizney- You are totally welcome!

    and Jessica-
    I'll try to do a styling post on pencil skirts soon!

  13. LOVE YOUR BLOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    PENCIL SKIRTS ARE AS CLASSIC AS A PAIR OF JEANS! THEY'VE BEEN A WORK STAPLE FOR ME FOR YEARS.

    ALL OF YOUR SUGGESTIONS ROCK. I ALSO FIND P. SKIRTS AT MY LOCAL SALVATION ARMY FOR JUST A FEW DOLLARS.

  14. The best place to go for pencil skirts is JC Penney's. Their Worthington line makes great penicl skirts that last forever. I have a grey one that I've worn at least once a week for the past year and it's still in perfect shape. Plus, they're almost always on sale for less than $20.

  15. Shape FX sells a pretty inexpensive pencil skirt that slims while you rock it. I love it!
