#One style fits all

Probably the most versatile item of clothing that any women can own is the pencil skirt. It is the one piece that can transition between formal professional attire to causal with a slight change in shoes. The pencil skirt is also the ultimate body shaper and perfect for all body types. I can honestly say that I have never seen a body type that a pencil skirt doesn't suit. For the minimal curvy women (I say minimal because all women have some curves, and curves are something to be proud of!) a pencil skirt can accent the curves in the right way and extend the length of the legs. Women with long legs are admired, but if you don't naturally have extra long runway model legs (which most girls don't) then a pencil skirt perfectly creates the illusion that you have the long legs. Pencil skirts go up past the hips and past the knees, paired with a nice heel you now have perfect runway model like legs. Women come in many shapes and sizes so it is difficult having a fashion blog that fits all. Hence why I am a firm believer in offering advice and options not pictures of myself wearing clothing that fit well on me and my body type. I love reading blogs and seeing what others wear but its not always feasible or probable for my body type. However there are a few staple items that are versatile and flattering for all. Just like investing in a nice black pump I am a firm believer in owning a good quality pencil skirt. I will warn you that once you experience the perfect pencil skirt and will get hooked and start going pencil skirt crazy, but I think everyone will approve that if there is one thing to go crazy about it's a classy style. So for one style fits all here are some of my favorite pencil skirt options: (I will admit I am a bit bias, BCBG makes my favorite bondage style pencil skirts that accent every curve so elegantly)

Such as this BCBG Knee Length Skirt

I know that most young ladies would not initially consider St. John but this skirt is something I could she the Duchess Kate wear, classy and timeless!

I've featured an A.L.C. item of clothing on this bog before and I stand by my recommendations, this skirt is another example of the brands quality!

Once you have mastered the black, you must dive into the various other colors and styles. I love colorful and fun pencil skirts such as this Diane von Furstenberg on and the Floral Etro print skirt, talk about spicing up an outfit!

I suggest you look for a pencil skirt that has a little bit of stretch, it allows for a bit for flexibility in sizes and does a superior job at accenting those lovely curves.
















Thank you for reading and talk to you all soon!

#sassy pants

I am sure everyone has those days when sniddy comments and a sassy attitude is the one way that you will be able to get through the day, especially around certain people.
Well I am firm believer that a sassy attitude is greatly complimented with a sassy outfit, particularly sassy pants.
Vibrant prints, animals prints and geometric shape prints are on everything lately and I love it. There is nothing like spicing up a simple work outfit with a bit of print. The print adds personality, style and just enough sass to get you through the day. Below I have a few pant options that are perfect for in and out of the office!
(FYI: Zara is having a sale and they have such amazing options for printed trousers!)

This printed trouser with the side stripe is perfect, with a simple, plain top it would be perfect in any office and for a night out with the girls!

I love these Banana Republic pants, affordable and sassy!

These Trina Turk "Mandie" Silk Pants look so comfortable and sassy, I need them!!

And finally these A.L.C. Sutro Pants that are on sale! I've been watching these for a while now!












I hope everyone has a fabulous Monday and a stylish week!
