Styling a Patterned Pencil Skirt

3/1/2019

This year, I promised myself that I would start working on obtaining more classic pieces in my wardrobe, with a neutral colour palette, making an exception for maroon and dark green.

Yes, I bought a patterned skirt. I actually bought it during the Boxing Day Sales at DFO.
I never really find myself waltzing into Hugo Boss, but they had an extra 50% off sale running that day & I couldn't refuse.

At first I tried on the size 32 which fit like a glove. Actually, it fit like a tight glove that would prove to be uncomfortable should I be eating. And lets be real, for those of you who know me, I love my food.
I was pleased to find the skirt was available in a size 34, so I grabbed it and tried it on too.
A much better fit around the thighs. The waist is a little loose but if I plan to wear this skirt to work, I don't want to feel strangled when I sit down.

The 34 it was. This skirt is the best length at sitting just on the knee. It has no slit at the back which I really like. I feel like the slit shows too much thigh at the back when you walk or climb stairs. What's nice about this is that I can actually still walk in my usual stride without being jolted back at the knees.

It is made from a Bouclé in a large floral print. Black and white in colour, this skirt did challenge my new wardrobe goals but I felt as though it looked quite subdued.
