Work Wardrobe Wednesday No. 20

March 25, 2015

byrdie-top-yael-steren
One of my favorite shows on TV is Suits. Not only because I love the story line, but also because the costume designer does such an amazing job! One of the main characters, Rachel, can almost always be seen in a pencil skirt and without fail she looks impeccable!!
 
As I mentioned in a previous post, the silhouette of a pencil skirt is flattering for every body type! Just remember to choose a skirt that is darker and has some stretch if you have fuller hips and thighs.
 
To give the illusion of appearing taller, avoid a pencil skirt with a longer hemline (such as the one I am wearing in these photos) and instead opt for a hemline, which ends right above your knee caps!
 
Because this is a work wardrobe column I have shown how to style a pencil skirt for the office, but you could easily pair this skirt with a crop top, like I did in this post and be ready to go out!
 
Do you love pencil skirts as much as I do? Let me know in the comments below!

    I love this top / pencil skirt combo! It goes perfectly together. I am also a huge fan of Suits. I watch every week (so sad it’s not on right now) and admire their wardrobe. Rachel is always dressed to perfection!

    The pencil skirt is amazing! I’m not sure I’ll be able to pull off that winter white the way you do! Your style is impeccable and you’re always spot on when it comes to the look that I LOVE!

    I also think Claire Underwood on House of Cards dresses incredibly! Have you watched that series on Netflix?

    I love the simplicity of this look. The white skirt is amazing, and the top with it is perfection.

    xo, j
