Friday Favorites: Pencil Maxi Skirts

 TGIF! I wear maxi skirts all year long making them one of the most worn category in my closet. I love the versatility of style (sweaters & boots in the winter - tanks and sandals in the summer) and the coverage.

Note: Long skirts are elongating! Even more so in a slim pencil design.

FAUX LEATHER SNAKE SKIRT

Pencil maxi skirts are currently a popular trend, particularly in denim. I really like the decreased volume for a sleek look that's also comfortable. Dress them up or casually (sneakers with everything!) either way it's a piece that you can wear all seasons.

Here are some pretty pencil maxi skirts ...

Fairly Preppy

Gals, this look takes me back! Back to my younger days when my style was sweet and preppy.  I still love prim classic girlie pieces and it's feels nice to wear them.  

This fair isle sweater is truly timeless and full of color. Oh, and of course warm!  I actually get really excited about printed knits because most of the time it's tables and tables of solid sweaters in stores.

I highly recommend giving your sweaters it a little front tuck for shape!

This denim skirt is a goodie. So are the boots.  The skirt I've had for 3 years and the boots close to 10! Quality and versatility are so important when choosing pieces for your wardrobe. I can style both of these countless ways with what is in my closet. I take care of my clothing with dry cleaning and never putting them in the dryer. And for my shoes, I store them neatly and give them a good polish and sole repair when needed. 

With all the trendy embellishments out there, don't neglect the timeless pretty ones you already have!

Denim Skirt

Swap out your jeans (because it's way too hot!) and your shorts for just a touch of girlie with a skirt.  A denim skirt is a casual classic! I'm obsessed with this one because it's super soft, a hint of stretch and stays in place - don't you hate it when your skirts spin around when you move.

Treat this number as you would a pair of jeans or shorts and top it with whatever suits you or the occasion. A simple tee or silk blouse, either will do just beautifully.  Sky's the limit too when it comes to shoes too. Flats, sandals, sneakers or heels ... I'm ready for Fall so I can slip into a pair of boots!

Basically, you need a denim skirt to switch up from your go-to jeans or shorts.
