The other day in the office we were talking about how curves are back.
The recent emphasis on the waist and plethora of more tailored clothes are making us all feel like we can flaunt our shape, rather than have to try and minimise those parts we might be self-conscious of.
You can’t get a more feminine shape than the classic pencil skirt. Designed to accentuate the waist and give shape to the hips this garment is an essential for every wardrobe.
We found this skirt at Dotti for only $35.95, although you should be able to pick one up fairly cheaply in all the chain stores this season.
This skirt is incredibly versatile. Wear it to the office with a crisp white shirt and an extra wide black belt around your waist. Or try it with a high-necked Victorian style blouse, some patterned tights and some super high peep toe heels.
A pencil skirt also looks good teamed with boots and a fine wool turtleneck for a classic, simple winter style.
A good fitting pencil skirt will stand the test of time in your wardrobe (yep, it’s one of those classic items) so it’s worth shopping around to find one you’re really happy with.
