A black, high-waisted pencil skirt is a versatile piece of clothing that can be dressed up or down.
Here's how we styled ours:
The "I work a 9-5 job" Look
If you work at a place where you can dress up a little, you can try this look that Laura is wearing. At work, you probably don't want to show a lot of LEG or attract too much attention with a tight, clingy skirt so covering up with a longer cardigan will keep it classy. Also, since the skirt is more "hip-hugging", contrast it with a looser, flowy top like this pale pink ruffle tank. Of course, if you actually want to be taken seriously as a working professional, you can substitute the flowy top for a collared shirt (boring!) and add a pair of stockings.
The "I party from 9-5(AM!)" Look
Okay, so this isn't exactly a hardcore "party" look but it is perfect for a much-needed, after-work gathering with the girls! This shorter pencil skirt looks great with a fun pair of heels like these patterned, floral ones. Try wearing an edgier statement necklace and add delicate details like Amanda's short-sleeved lace jacket. Even though this look is in classic monochromatic tones, it is definitely kept interesting with the unique necklace and shoes!

...and those FABULOUS SHOES!!!
We hope we've inspired you to try out different ways of wearing a pencil skirt,
whether you're at work or at play.
