Pencil Skirt Glory

In hope of breaking up my blog, I have left behind the dark-romanticism and gothic trends of AW12 and digressed back to the summer.

This picture was taken in a photoshoot by the very talented Dan Sakal, a freelance photographer with a very successful business *LINK*. I love this outfit as it breaks the rules by clashing the body contouring pencil skirt and peplum top with an oversized, vintage-inspired denim jacket.

If you 're wearing your skirts on the premise that shorter equates to better, it is time to re-evaluate. Leaving a little to the imagination denotes class and style and, conveniently, pencil skirts and midi styles are still bang on trend. They flatter all shapes and sizes; ingeniously enhancing curves, accentuating the waist and oozing femininity.  They can be worn as both office and evening attire and my preference for this season is with a little pair of ankle socks and heeled boots.

Denim Jacket: Levi's (vintage), Peplum top: Topshop, Lace pencil skirt: H and M, Spiked Cuff: H and M
