Get to the Point! Pencil Skirt Style Tips:

1. Try on several sizes until you get the perfect fit in your waist or hips and have the skirt tailored to fit your shape from there

2. Don't be afraid to mix patterns. Try a striped top with a patterned bottom to add more texture and have some fun! 

3. Dress it down with denim! Try a lightweight chambray shirt with a dressy skirt like sequins or lace.

4. If you're going to spend big on this skirt pick a fabric or look that transcends trends! 

5. Most of ALL pick a skirt that makes you FEEL fabulous and the rest will come together!
