Fab Finger Discount: New York & Co. Floral Pencil Skirt

FabSugar — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 09:00:22 -0700

These New York & Co. Floral Pencil Skirts ($12, originally $40) totally remind me of Thakoon. In fact, the cranberry colored one reminds me of Michelle Obama's red and purple Thakoon frock. I can't decide which version I like best, they're all so pretty.

Here's why you need one (or all three): they're a modern alternative to the basic black pencil skirt, they're super inexpensive, and they're the perfect rich hues for Fall. To counterbalance the fanciness, I would wear one with a gray tee and a faux fur collar scarf. And if the length is too stuffy for you, chop it or wear it as a paperbag skirt!

Online Sale Alert! Discounts at Acrimony

There's a boutique in San Francisco - Acrimony - that I love to frequent for its fashion-forward selection. Thanks to its online shop, everyone can partake in the progressive fun. If you're on a tight budget, peruse its sale section, which has interesting pieces by VPL, Stretsis, Wayf, and United Bamboo.

In the market for a pencil skirt? Consider this sleek Quail Reckoner Skirt ($82, originally $164), which also comes in black. Reminds me of something Victoria Beckham would wear . . .

I would pencil her in anyday after seeing luvpizaman in this fantastic pencil skirt-driven getup! The black top on dark denim combo looks really nice, very flattering, and I like how she broke up the dark on dark with the skinny white belt. For a little pizazz, the patent pumps were a great touch!

Here's what she's wearing:

Top: Banana Republic
Skirt: The Limited
Shoes: Exchange by Charles David
Belt: Linea Pelle
Watch: Anthropologie

Congrats to luvpizaman!

FabSugar — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 13:00:22 -0800

What a lovely little lady Hayden Panettiere has become! While most other stars showed up to Z100's Annual Jingle Ball in casual gear, the petite actress stepped it up a notch in a dramatic white ruffle blouse and black pencil skirt. Some may say she's a tad overdressed for the occasion, but I say more power to her. . . . this is how fashionistas ought to differentiate themselves from the masses.

Dolce and Gabbana's makeup muse did some promoting at Selfridges department store in London earlier today. She usually plays up her sex-kitten persona, but here she opted for a ladylike look by Dolce and Gabbana. The pretty floral blouse is tempered by a long and lean pencil skirt and finished with a pair of nude peep-toe pumps. But it wouldn't be Scarlett without some sexy - her red lips help achieve just that.

Chris Benz Pencil Skirt: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 05:00:08 -0800

The latest designer to jump on the feathery friends trend is Chris Benz with this Muticolored Pencil Skirt ($795). I usually fancy fringe but it looks like Chris had too much on his mind with this one. Between the diamond jacquard print and fuzzy texture; I can't help but to feel dizzy. What do you think?

Karl Lagerfeld Wool Pencil Skirt: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Mon, 08 Jan 2007 10:06:29 -0800

You know when you see a fashion item that you think is really fabulous but then you wonder: can I pull that off? This Karl Lagerfeld Wool Pencil Skirt, $425, is a good example of this. While I think this deconstructed look is really interesting and the asymmetrical layering is way cool, I just don't know if I could pull this off. Also, what would you wear with this? Everything else would have to be very simple, as to not take away from the skirt being the focal point. What do you think? Love or hate?

Online Sale Alert! Bargains at Barneys

FabSugar — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 03:00:22 -0700

I don't have to tell you that when there's a sale at Barneys, it's best to just take a look. I mean, how can you not not look?! I looked and found this Vena Cava Pandora Skirt in Pearl ($79, originally $298). How sultry would it be with a silk black tank and metallic sandals? But, for the better of my pocketbook, it's only available in a size 10. While there are many Barneys bargains, just keep an eye on the sizes, they are unpredictable. But still, have a lookie . . .
