The Question: I need a sensible skirt for work that I can wear out after. Suggestions?
The Answer:
It's all about the pencil skirt--the classic shape that flatters every body type was all over the spring runways. With a button down shirt or sweater it's prim enough for work, but swap in a crop top and strappy sandals, and you're ready for girls' night out. The most versatile color would be black, which transitions easily from sensible to sexy, but a small print or lace option works too. Check out the slideshow to see the runway looks inspiring me and shop my favorite pencil skirts on the market.
