I have always loved pencil skirts. They are so flattering and versatile. So perfect for work, so perfect for a night out. However, they can become dated very quickly. Pinstriped pencil skirts for example, once so Dolce & Gabbana, now so credit crunch ruined bank manager.
So any new way to update the pencil skirt excites me muchly. And when I saw the new kick-flared pencil skirt I did do a little jump of joy. The cutest new detail, which is not only more flattering on the figure but also makes your pencil skirt easier to walk in! The first time fashion has actually made an item of clothing more comfortable. Love it.
There are two versions of the kick-flared pencil skirt I have already snapped up. First up is a more subtle version, just a plain black pencil-skirted dress with a subtle little kick flare detail at the back. Only £30 from Dotty P.
However, River Island has given the look a whole new lease of exciting creativity. They are obviously really feeling Luella's newest creations. You only have to look at the grey skirt I have purchased and already worn, twice, to see how on the money they are trend wise. With the cute ruffles, the bow, the pink belt, the pink polka-dotted lining, the black piping! Retro in feel but with some amazing modern touches. This skirt makes you feel like Marilyn Monroe as she bustles down the train station in Some Like it Hot. And that feeling only cost £29.99. Fucking fabulous.
