Let's Get Professional: Pencil Skirts

LA girls who are ready to be taken seriously for your brains, talents, and abilities in the work force, at school, or even in your personal life, take cues from celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, Kristin Cavallari, and Victoria Beckham: pencil skirts make it happen.
Ever since the pencil skirt was introduced in the late 1940's, it's become a staple for women who are as serious about their careers as they are about themselves. It's slim and curve-hugging cut make it womanly and give it just enough sex appeal, while it's modest length keeps it appropriate. The pencil skirt is as variable as the women that wear it: it's suitable for the office, a dinner, a wedding, and really any event that requires you to dress up a bit.

Women of all ages can rock the pencil skirt, as Kristin Cavallari demonstrates with her youthful take on it. Since the pencil skirt is no longer just available in dark cotton, colorful colors (think bright pink), fun patterns (think paisley), and interesting fabrics (think leather or eyelet) help make the staple appropriate for all ages and occasions. Even better, is that pencil skirts are incredibly versatile and can work with almost anything in your wardrobe. A blazer and fitted silk top may work best for an interview, while a ruffly tank and statement jewelry add an element of fun for other occasions. It's time to update your wardrobe with the one piece you can ensure you won't regret buying!
