As seen on Zoe Burden on Cashmere Mafia, the black pencil skirt is a style staple. I am especially fond of this skirt paired with a vibrant colored cropped cardigan (purple or magenta come to mind), sexy camisole (lace is a must!) and killer pumps.

When did it stop being okay to be a woman? Woman and men dress the same now, and while I don't want you to think that I'm anti-feminist...I don't see what's so wrong with women being able to dress like...women. I know, though it baffles my mostly male coworkers sometimes, that I like to dress up. Knee length skirts like this one dominate my wardrobe. It's basic, black and is long enough that it's just plain nice.

A black pencil skirt is a must have, out of all of the closet staples that you are supposed to have -- this one is the most important. It's great to wear with a cute top, a cardigan, or a blazer. This skirt was worn by Zoe Burden on Cashmere Mafia.
