This skirt is another item that I’m pretty sure I own solely
because I am a blogger. Before I started
blogging, I read a lot of blogs and one thing that I noticed is that bloggers
love two things: J Crew and pencil skirts.
They seemed especially enamored of J Crew pencil skirts so, a couple of summers ago, in
preparation of being a blogger, I went out and got me one:
And then I promptly never wore it. In part because of the whole “pencils-skirts-suck-for-bike-riding”
thing. But in part because I don’t think
it’s very flattering. In spite of the
skirt’s ability to play nice with neon (no small feat), I just don’t love it. In fact, I feel like a floral box in it. I will admit that could be the top’s fault
too though. I love the color of this
silk blouse, but it is a bit boxy.
Perhaps the skirt would do a bit better with a more fitted top.
So, I’m placing this skirt on the maybe list and will try it
again with a fitted sweater. Although,
as I write this I’m trying to remember… are you supposed to wear fitted with
fitted? I guess I should know that rule,
what with being a blogger and all, but I clearly don’t, so help a sistah out,
if you will.
Thanks in advance for your help on how to deal with this
floral box of a skirt and have a Happy Thursday, All!
Gracey
