Ladies take a note, if you find that you’re constantly wearing pants & trousers then maybe it’s time for a pencil skirt.  The pencil skirt is another universally flattering silhouette.  Pencil skirts are quite slimming.  Creating a pencil skirt outfit is so very simple but there’s two simple guidelines to follow:

1)      Please tuck your top in

2)      Wear a heel, even if it’s just a 1 inch kitten heel

By adhering to tucking and heeling, you create one slim column.  The effects are stunning.  A daytime office look is instantly sexy if you pair whatever button up blouse you were planning on with your go-to black trouser.  Maybe there’s a hot guy in your office you want to impress or you are going day to night for drinks after work – a pencil skirt is the best way to look really sexy yet work-appropriate at the same time.  If you want to look a little edgier then you can go freakin’ bananas with accessories like funky ass belts, bags, studded pumps, and jewelry. 

Check out Express for a wide assortment of pencil skirt styles and colors.  The high waist military pencil skirt with buttons and pockets is super sexy. 

Stylishly Yours,
