{fashion folio} sophisticated strut
Brian Atwood The Maniac Ayers Platform Pumps + Lulu Frost Muse Bracelet in Gold / Crystal + Hellessy Mia Cami in Ecru + Jennifer Zeuner Jewelry Small Open Circle Necklace in Gold + SEPHORA COLLECTION Outrageous Prisma Chrome Metallic Eyeshadow in Golden Peach # 2 + Miu Miu Denim Pencil Skirt

Pencil skirts are unmatchable in the fashion world – managing to effuse a strong sense of sophistication laced with seduction. The standard textures offered, however, tend to be too professional for my liking, making me feel like a child playing dress-up {never a good thing}, when really all I want is an urbane style juxtaposing a hint of playful with a smattering of posh; and so enter the denim pencil skirt. The construction blends the worlds of casual and cosmopolitan in a way that is always sultry never sloppy.

Up the flirt factor with a silky satin cami {flowy in aesthetic} that hits right at the waistline of the skirt; clasping a delicate gold pendant around the base of your throat for a kiss of charm that accentuates your décolletage with its subtle sparkle. Nude platform pumps streamline your look, elongating your legs and giving you lift; while a crystal-covered art-deco bracelet adds a mysterious touch likely to garner questions {perhaps from a handsome stranger}. Tousled waves pulled into a mid-height ponytail are kittenish and coy - the absolute perfect balance to the finishing touchbronze-leaning gold eyeshadow applied generously all over the lid and the lashline for an ultra-glamorous metallic smoky eye that works for day or night.

Wow it's like you read my mind. Yesterday, I had the opportunity to buy the most amazing tweed gray pencil skirt, similar to this one. It was so stunning. But I chose to forgoe the purchase because I'm so tight on funds lately. It was pretty sad. But here it is again, beckoning to me. Perhaps a sign? lol
