Pencil Skirt. Nope. Never worn one. I have never in my life worn a pencil skirt before now. I don’t even feel like that statement is real, but I usually wear skirts that are a bit more full. I am more of a fit and flare girl…or so I thought.
When I saw this J.Crew pencil skirt, I quickly fell in love with the color…plus it gave me something else to wear my lovely vintage oxfords with!
When I usually think of a pencil skirt, I imagine office wear. You know, a button down long sleeve blouse, heels, maybe a coat? Not a casual outfit that is ready to hit the grocery store or my favorite bar. And this pencil skirt outfit was the perfect choice for a lunch date with hubs. It was casual but a bit fun & quirky too.
I paired this bright J.crew skirt with a floral Ralph Lauren top & vintage oxfords that I scored from Yerdle (check out this post I wrote about Yerdle here)! This is my version of fall, being in Houston means I just saw the 90s drop off my weather app.
Top: Ralph Lauren (similar here & here)
Skirt: J.Crew (on sale!)
Shoes: Vintage (similar I’m loving here & these shoes that are JUST too cool!)
Psssttt I’ll promise to work on different poses, if you promise not to mention it ๐ That whole crossed leg thing…I promise you that’s my natural stance. I’m always propped up like that.
OK. Tell me! What’s your favorite way to style a pencil skirt?
I usually on wear pencil skirts! I style them every which way. They just work for my shape. Plus, you don’t have to worry about a gust of wind lifting them up! Love your outfit!

Such an adorable outfit! I think pencil skirts are so cute when worn in a casual style, it’s definitely a different vibe than the traditional office style. This is my first time coming across your blog- I love how cheerful it is!
