Right and wrong way to wear a pencil skirt

No matter if you are thin, full or thick in the hips everyone can wear a pencil skirt but if your skirt is unflattering to your shape its time to Sharpen your Pencil.

If you have any type of bulge in the front, waist or back of your pencil skirt chances are your wearing the wrong fit. The Pencil Skirt is one of the key essentials every stylish wardrobe should have. They are best worn with a plain white tee or with a fierce dramatic blouse and a wide or thin belt and killer stilettos. 

So how do you achieve this look. If you are thick or very full in the hips chose an A-line Pencil Skirt to create balance for your overall look. If you have no hips or you are very thin chose a Straight line Pencil Skirt to create the illusion of hips to balance your overall look.

If you are short in stature chose pencil skirts that hit above the knee. If you are tall in stature chose pencil skirts that just hit the knee or just below the knee. Know that anything shorter is considered a mini skirt and anything longer is out dated and its time to go shopping!

You can find a gorgeous pencil skirt at any fine department store or your favorite fashion boutique.

Until next time,

Live Well & Live Fabulous!
