Much like the little black dress, every fashionista should own at least one pecil skirt and blouse. The slim fitting skirt has been worn by women all around the world since the late 1940s. It continues to be a wardrobe essential thanks to its different lengths (long, 3/4, knee, short) and sexy yet dressed up potential. A fashionista can pull on a pencil skirt and blazer and set off to the office, looking polished and professional. By five o'clock she can remove her blazer, showcase her fashion blouse and head out for cocktails or to a club looking both stylish and hot. Over the years blouses have come in many different styles; button up, fashion, cotton, silk/satin, collared, sleeveless, off the shoulder, peasant and pirate. Not to mention the various sleeves (puff, long, short, 3/4, bell, balloon) and collars (peter pan, mandarin, Elizabethan, sailor, butterfly, Johnny) a woman can choose from. While either wardrobe piece can be worn on its own, we at MyCloset know that putting the pencil skirt and blouse together is and always will be a classic combination that attracts fashionistas of all ages.
