Lace Top: Forever 21 | Cardigan: Forever 21 (similar) | Skirt: LOFT (similar) | Shoes c/o Shoetopia | Necklace: David Yurman

If I could wear pencil skirts every day for the rest of my life, I would.  Seriously guys, pencil skirts are the new colored denim for me.  Even better is the fact that they aren’t a trend.  They are totally a classic piece and if I could just own every color of the J.Crew line I think I’d be set for life, in terms of bottoms.  Any skirt that is long enough for work, cute enough for a date with the boy, or fashionable enough for a night out with my girls is kind of perfect.  Watch out blog, you will be seeing many more pencil skirts in the near future.

Oh yes, and I finally jumped on the cage shoe bandwagon.  Sorry if I’m late on this one, but for me, it’s all the rage in my closet right now thanks to Shoetopia!

    The skirt is really nice, and Ann Taylor and LOFT have issued a lot of great pencil skirts over the years. Loved the pictures of you and Austin yesterday!

    you are SO right! pencil skirts are timeless! But i love how you are incorporating a new trend with a classic piece! That neon really pops – and the mixing of textures is perfection!

    OOhh the shoes are HOT!! I like that you picked a nude color – pretty much goes w/everything. I always have to have some pencil skirts in the closet. Can’t go wrong with them.

    Love your pink pencil skirt! I agree, pencil skirts are amazingly versatile and seem to flatter every figure. I have a simple black one, but I’d love to add some colored ones to my closet. :)

    Looking great, Sandy! Appreciate mentioning Shoetopia.com.

    You DEFINITELY! did an awesome job rockin’ those caged wedges! I’ve been actively pursuing more due to the amount of hearts broken by that shoe. We should have many of the casual wedges back for the Fall season. For right now, there is just… Color. Color… neons… multi-color… all that jazz. Still a lot more to come… can’t wait to see more in the future! You did a wonderful job… made Monday exciting!

    Best regards,

    Sammy

    yes, yes, YES! pencil skirts are awesome.
    i wish i had pink one like yours–all the ones i have
    are black (all from work! haha). i also love that you
    paired it with navy. navy&pink is one of my fave color
    combos! :D
