The Pencil Skirt Posted by Unknown | Wednesday, May 15

I have always been a fan of the pencil skirt, but now even more after seeing this bombshell doting the pencil with a basic white tank! It keeps things so nice and simple, when you can find a great statement skirt and not have to fuss over what matching top or pattern or print will coordinate. Add a few jewels and you are set! I created a set from Jcrew and am pretty excited about their white t.  For $30 you get a staple, good quality t that will last the entire season. I love how this one is fitted, but not to fitted and can be tucked into any pencil quite easily.

I am loving this look for spring! Mixing a fun color with pattern, unexpected jewels and an amazing pair of neutral shoes. I am on the hunt for some boyfriend jeans that fit right.  I know I will wear them like a uniform but have made the mistake so many times of buying jeans that look good but may not be the most comfortable. Finding a "go to" jean is not as simple as it sounds. For me it requires trying on and trying on, more trying on and seriously this could take hours or even multiple trips. As a busy mom, I don't have that kind of time, so I have had the most success going to places like Nordstrom Rack which houses hundreds of styles, designers, washes and fits all under one roof and on sale.  The truth with denim is you get what you pay for. I love a deal and am known for piecing outfits together on a dime, but knowing when to invest can really end up saving money in the end. Here are a few options:
