Skirt Love

{Shirt: F21 | Skirt: Banana Republic | Necklace: handmade from old earrings | Bracelet: Loft | Watch: Michael Kors | Shoes: Payless}

This is my favorite pencil skirt- hands down. I know that's a lofty claim considering I wear pencil skirts an average of at least 3 days a week. But this one has earned its rank. When I joined the "working world" about 3 years ago after graduate school, I had to revamp my wardrobe. I basically owned nothing that I could wear to my job. So I was forced to shop (tragic I know), but in a whole new way from what I was comfortable with. This classic black skirt was one of my first purchases at banana, and it's has been going strong ever since. It has just the right amount of stretch, goes with everything, and rarely needs ironing. What more could a girl want in a pencil skirt? 

Also, I made this necklace. I had these square turquoise earrings and one of them broke. So I hung the other on a silver chain using a jump ring. Simple and resourceful!
