Hi ladies!  There are trends.  And then there are timeless styles.  Such is the case with one of the most flattering pieces of clothing you will ever own, The Pencil Skirt.  This is the one skirt style that is a staple for working / professional women.  But you do not need to have a 9 to 5 office job to wear one, because pencil skirts look flattering at formal gatherings, and parties as well.  Regardless of what you wear your pencil skirt with, you will end up with a polished, structured, and sophisticated look. 

Pencil skirts look best when styled with a blouse, a blazer, a crop top, or a tight turtleneck (for a sexier look!).  To wear at night, pair a fitted high-waisted pencil skirt with a crop top.  For an effortlessly stylish look, pair a pencil skirt with a tucked-in cotton tee or a slouchy sweater.  I personally love how empowering they are for women!  And how convenient they are for work/meetings/evening affairs, I slip it on, pick one of my long-sleeved silk shirts and I’ve got a smart & professional look in less than 5 minutes…  Add classic pumps or stilettos and you are done!  

This timeless style will instantly enhance your curves, slim your waist, and make you look chic.  If you want to look slimmer, a black pencil skirt is your best bet.  If you prefer to add the illusion of curves, choose a skirt with bold patterns.  To create the hourglass figure, just add a skinny dark-colored belt around your waist!  It always comes down to choosing the option that works best for your own body type, and then rocking that pencil skirt!  AH!… make sure that you can easily go up & down the stairs with it, as well as get out of a vehicle comfortably!
