Alllll the time. And since I'm on my feet a lot at work, I pretty much never wear heels any more. Boots of some kind in the winter and ballet flats or sandals in warm weather. I also rarely tuck in shirts.</p> <p>We walk so much where I live that it's far more common to see women wearing flats with their skirts than anything else. So I don't feel strange not wearing heels.</p> <p>And I think the fit of the skirt and top are more important than the shoe, as far as if it's an attractive look. First picture is cute to me and fits well--second picture, the skirt and top are both ill fitting. </p> [attach=2976/14/n1lvlb.400x600.wp2a.jpg] [attach=2976/14/n1lvlc.444x600.IMG_8368.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-style-pencil-skirts#post-1450111 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 08:29:39 +0000 MsLipGloss 1450111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: @Mrs. Pen: I agree . . . wearing flats with a pencil skirt is the fastest way to eliminate all of the figure flattering benefits of wearing a pencil skirt to begin with! The only people who have a prayer of pulling it off are tall, super thin girls . . . ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-style-pencil-skirts#post-1450100 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 08:16:08 +0000 looch 1450100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I have a few jersey/ponte pencil skirts, one of them is actually similarly striped!</p> <p>I haven't worn it yet, it's a spring skirt, but you're right, I'd wear it to church, maybe to a baby shower, lunch date. I tend to think about practicality at the playground, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-style-pencil-skirts#post-1448714 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 14:19:49 +0000 whenoceansrise 1448714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: @coopsmama: The Bethel Tides album sounds similar and I like it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-style-pencil-skirts#post-1448690 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 14:12:26 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1448690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@whenoceansrise: @coopsmama: I LOVE that song. One of my favorites for sure. their most recent album (that the song is on) is just incredible. anyway... way to threadjack my own thread ;)</p> <p>@looch: @Freckles: what if it was a jersey pencil skirt? Either way, I haven't worn it outside of work either, but would wear them to some places like church.</p> <p>This is the jersey skirt from ON </p> [attach=1597/14/n1kg0r.260x345.on.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-style-pencil-skirts#post-1448498 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 13:21:25 +0000 Freckles 1448498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also only do pencil skirts for work. I will usually tuck in a shirt/blouse with a blazer over it, sometimes a cardigan. I also don't do flats...heels always, but that's b/c i'm a shorty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-style-pencil-skirts#post-1448427 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 13:05:46 +0000 whenoceansrise 1448427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: it is definitely powerful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-style-pencil-skirts#post-1448354 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 12:48:13 +0000 coopsmama 1448354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@whenoceansrise: I love that song, too!

I wear them with stocking and heels/elegant boots and usually a blazer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-style-pencil-skirts#post-1448321 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 12:40:31 +0000 whenoceansrise 1448321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: yes!

I love Loft and Jcrew pencils. I have a couple of the jersey kind that are super comfy too!</p> <p>Floaty blouses, cardigans and shells, basic tees with scarf/statement necklace, belted sweaters, peplum tops, blazers, etc etc etc. The list goes on and on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-style-pencil-skirts#post-1448186 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 12:04:15 +0000 Mrs. J 1448186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That skirt is far too long for that girl.

I've worn pencil skirts with boots and like that look, but I haven't done flats for that reason - just not sure on how it looks.</p> <p>@raspberries: I've done a pencil with a chambray tucked in, but not tied. I don't think I could pull that off- especially at work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-style-pencil-skirts#post-1448093 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 11:32:03 +0000 mrsjyw 1448093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>tucked in loose blouse<br /> cardigan<br /> nice tee/blouse<br /> blazer</p> <p>boots/heels/flats </p> [attach=888/14/n1ka6d.600x515.how-to-style-a-yellow-pencil-skirt.jpg] [attach=888/14/n1ka6h.441x600.ideas-different-ways-to-wear-it-inspiration-trend-guide-2013.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-style-pencil-skirts#post-1448091 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 11:31:24 +0000 snowjewelz 1448091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm short so if I wear pencil skirts I must wear heels or I look even worse than that girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-style-pencil-skirts#post-1448090 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 11:30:36 +0000 raspberries 1448090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooo, I like that chambray top!

I am not even sure it works for her - flats make your legs look stumpy in pencil skirts unless you are 6 feet tall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-style-pencil-skirts#post-1448077 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 11:25:27 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1448077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>this is one of my favorite pics on pinterest but I just don't know if I could pull it off. </p> [attach=1597/14/n1k8ag.428x600.f6c0fb74fc5d56ff86ff055971d344d7.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-style-pencil-skirts#post-1447974 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 10:56:09 +0000 septca 1447974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear a lot of pencil skirts to work because I get really sick of pants! I have a short torso and no waist, though, so I have to wear a belt or a tight sweater in order to make the look come together... I usually wear heels, a shirt tucked in with a wide belt or a sweater, and a skirt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-style-pencil-skirts#post-1447959 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 10:47:02 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1447959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And where if your favorite place to buy them?</p> <p>I love the look but I had a hard time coming up with something to wear with them other than a tucked in blouse. Do you wear boots? heels? flats? any? On pinterest I saw one styled with converse, but not sure I could pull that off...</p> <p>The ones I have are from BR, ON, AT and they are all black. I was thinking of trying the jersey knit kind - they look so comfortable! </p>
