pencil skirt

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

tThe Limited has a lot of suiting on work pieces on sale right now, and reader K asked for our thoughts on this skirt.  “I think it’s really fun and might be work-worthy with a good button down. Wondering if the ‘petal’ effect might make it too short for the office?”  We do like the look of this piece, and agree with the reader that it looks fun and interesting — although with the obvious caveat that it’s a little short.  If you’re petite, though, or happen to have short legs, this skirt might just hit you at the right point — which we would say would be just at your knee, with the petal part being just above the knee.  (We’re talking centimeters, not inches, here.)  We’d probably wear it with a sweater set rather than a buttoned shirt, but that’s just us.  The skirt is regularly $69, but it’s free with any purchase of a jacket during The Limited’s current promotion.  Petal Pencil Skirt

Let’s be honest here — unless you’re built like a model, if you wear a high-waisted pencil skirt you’re likely to be rocking the shapewear.  Spiegel saves you a step by including a built-in “powerful mesh control slip” in the skirt, along with lace “grippers” so it doesn’t ride up.  We saw a girl wearing this look about a week ago and it really did look amazing — we’d suggest wearing a short-sleeved blouse with it, or perhaps a simple black scoop-necked tee.  It’s on sale for $29.99 (was $39) at Spiegel.com in sizes 2-18 in regular, petite and tall.  Shape fx Two-Way Stretch Control Skirt
