Today the challenge for the
Fashion Challenge, you have to style a forgotten piece. Well, friends, if this pencil skirt isn't a forgotten piece, I don't know what is.
I finally took the plunge this weekend to clean out my closet. I got some clothes ready for donation and put some summer stuff away. In the process, I found this skirt.
I have honestly no clue where I got it. I don't remember thrifting it, I don't remember it being given to me and I don't remember ever wearing it. And I have no idea why.
This is possibly the best pencil skirt in my possession. It is high waisted. It is just the perfect length. Even though I had to have Patrick assist me in buttoning the back, it is the perfect fit. And, AND, it has pockets.
I tried to get a good picture of the cute button it has on the back, but people kept giving me funny looks for taking random pictures of my backside, so this is all you get, but trust, it is very cute. And it was made in Germany. How on Earth could I have gone this long without wearing this????
So, you have learned two lessons today. One, clean out your closet and you will unearth buried treasures. Two, take the Fashion Challenge with Megan and Keely so you can thank them for giving you inspiration to bring old pieces back to life.

Haha, isn't it funny (and OK, also kind of scary) when we "find" stuff in our own closets? These are thing that the boyfriend or hubby should never know about ...
ReplyDeleteYou look fantastic in that pencil skirt - I think you need to put it into reg rotation!

A lovely lost piece. It's the perfect fit on you.
ReplyDeleteGotta love a great pencil skirt! So glad you found it, because it fits you like a dream!
ReplyDeleteThat pencil skirt looks great on you, and I like it paired with the vest.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing what you'll find at the bottom of your closet! I have a similar black pencil skirt, and it's a wardrobe staple. I'm sure you'll get a lot of good use out of your long lost skirt. Cute red heels too!
ReplyDeleteAs much as I hate cleaning out my closet, I love unpacking clothes for the upcoming season it's like discovering all my pieces over again. I can't believe this little gem was tucked away in your closet this whole time. It fits you beautifully! Can't wait to see how you wear it all fall!
ReplyDeletea knee-length black pencil skirt with pockets? that is a true treasure. You look really great in it, too!
ReplyDeleteLOL it is SO TRUE!!!! My bf always laughs at me when this happens. Though, often times when I go shopping, I have to leave the bags in the car for a while and "sneak" them into the house. Woopsie. Thanks for your compliment as always Lisa!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Lyddie! The weather here is fall, fall, fall!
ReplyDeleteTotally! Thanks Allie!
ReplyDeleteThank you Erin! It was a pleasant surprise for sure!
ReplyDeleteThank you Keely!
ReplyDeleteAw, that is so sweet! Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rebecca!
ReplyDeleteMe too! Thank you Sage!
ReplyDeleteAw thanks Caitlin! Now that I know I own it, I am totally ready to rock it for fall!
ReplyDeleteTotally! Thanks Angeline!
ReplyDeleteThat's a fabulous black skirt! Also I know what you mean, cleaning out the closet is a great idea. I need to do so very soon. I love your monochrome look with the vest. Looks very snuggly. I have a black pencil skirt that I've worn only once. It was for a school presentation too. It fits AMAZING, but it just doesn't inspire. Maybe I should dig it out.
ReplyDeleteI say, you should indeed! I own so many pencil skirts (I think three black in particular), but each are special in their own way. Thank you so much for your comment!
