Pencil me in.

I live for pencil skirts. They are just about the only kind of skirts I can wear without looking frumpy. When your behind is as big as mine you dont take chances looking frumpy. 

However, pencil skirts are often associated with the more formal or corporate world and its not an item you would consider to be casual. But fashion leaves nothing untouched. I love the idea that a pencil skirt can be dressed up or down. This post is dedicated  to finding ways to making the pencil skirt an everyday item instead of only for the office.


Denim anything is the perfect way to bring some casual into your wardrobe. And a plaid shirt; but tuck it in to give you that carefree but polished look.


Or try a bad ass leather skirt and take it a step further with a leather jacket.


If its slightly chilly outside pair your pencil skirt with a shirt and sweater. Side note: how cute is this skirt?



Be your most authentic self. Add layers and over-the-top shapes if your skirt is more on the plain side.




Last, but not least. Switch up the footwear. Nothing says "modern" like adding a pair of sneakers.  Add a lightweight bomber and you are good to go.

How do you wear your pencil skirt? I would love to hear from you!

That seems to be the case for me. Let me start by saying, had it not been for a near death experience, I would certainly not be writing this...
