Pencil me in.

Pencil skirts have become my new staple for work and sometimes play. However, because I am shortwaisted ( a.k.a: no torso) my hips are higher than normal and my legs look longer as a result. Once I realized this I pondered clothing items that seemed effortless to wear and the pieces in my closet that felt awkward. The pieces that everytime I went to wear I took it off and threw it on the bed thinking "why did I buy this"?

Pencil skirts were in the awkward to wear category however if I just pulled the garment up higher it seemed to look ok. So I took one skirt to the tailor and Bingo I made the discovery that I could be comfortable in a   pencil skirt. Since then I have expanded on this style of skirt but I must really love it because I have to take it to my tailor.

Have a great start to your week.

Till next time,
