Outfit Logistics: Top - JCPenney $25, Skirt - Lane Bryant $34, Shoes - Thrifted
A leopard pencil skirt, to me, is the equivalent to a black pair of pants. I dress it up, dress it down. Take it work and then out for a night on the town. I wear it as weekend wear for a quick trip to the grocery store. It's one of my favorite pieces to travel with. The two that I own don't wrinkle easy and can literally be taken out of my suitcase and worn.
In my eyes, a leopard pencil skirt is a investment piece. The funny thing is that I bought both of my leopard pencil skirts, one from JIBRI & one from Lane Bryant for less than $40 a piece. Please note, just because I am not much of a LB shopper doesn't mean that I don't know what they have. You never know when you can find something good. That goes for any place that you don't regularly shop. I may buy something maybe just once a year and that's fine. I caught the JIBRI one on black Friday sale. I bought the LB one with a coupon. Both are good quality and fit me fabulously. I thought I'd take you through some of my leopard skirt looks starting in 2009. I also wanted to show the array of looks you can accomplish with just one staple piece. The JIBRI skirt and I have had many adventures together.

ReplyDeleteI agree- a leopard print pencil skirt is equivalent to a LBD.
ReplyDeleteI had one some years ago but ended up losing weight and couldn't keep it. =/
I gave it to a local thrift store so I am sure I made someone's day.
Very cute! I don't have one... YET! =D
ReplyDeleteYou look fab! Question what % of lycra does the skirt from LB have?
ReplyDeleteLuv the color combinations. I did get a charter club brand from the thrift store. Its a pencil skirt. I would luv to have one with an elastic waistband.
Luv that skirt
ReplyDeleteyes very nice...I love the skirt and it just suits you,very pretty I do like how animal print and pink looks on you,naturally fits :)
ReplyDeleteFirst things first, I learned the hard way that photos can flatter fabric in ways real life never will. I ordered a pencil skirt that looked fierce online and planned an entire outfit around it for a casual Friday. When the package arrived, the print was great but the lining was thin and the zipper felt stiff, so the silhouette drooped by midday. I still wore it out to test how it moved on a coffee run and noticed the hem creeping with each block. Since then I keep a quick fitting ritual before keeping any new garment and I compare experiences on modlily to see what holds up past the first wear.
ReplyDeleteServus, nach einer Reihe von Niederlagen im Casino wollte ich wieder ein bisschen Glück haben und stieß auf sweetyspin, das für Spieler aus Deutschland im Casino Boni bietet; ich testete „Twin Spin“, erst hatte ich nur Verluste, aber dann kam ein ordentlicher Gewinn, der mich richtig begeistert hat, die Spiele sind spannend und intuitiv, und deswegen kann ich es jedem empfehlen, der ein unterhaltsames Casino‑Erlebnis sucht.
