THE CLASSIC PENCIL SKIRT

Hello friends!  Do you love a classic pencil skirt as much as I do? Its stylish, slenderizing fit compliments any figure, you can either dress it up or down, and most importantly, it's timeless!  Listed below are various ways to wear this classic staple that absolutely has to be in your closet!

But first, let me tell you a little secret....My favorite place to purchase a well-made, classic pencil skirt is at the J. Crew Outlet.  Their prices are often marked down to 75% off the original price! But shhh, don't tell anyone.  This is our secret.  Here are a few tips that will help you look fab in your pencil skirt!

1.  Pair complimentary colors together.
