I know it took us a while, but last October we promised we'd show a more lux look implementing the longer pencil skirt. Well here it is! Although fashion moves quickly and we're already onto the lines of Fall 2012, we figured we'd step back to last season (since technically we are still there). We were so inspired by the shapes of Marc Jacobs last season that this outfit has been in our heads for a while waiting to find it's way here. It's funny how I haven't viewed the line since we last wrote about it, but my subconscious recreated the shapes and look down to the last detail. I wondered why when I looked in the mirror, something seemed off.  I took off the tights I was wearing and put on some fishnet stockings and voila! I looked back in the mirror and the outfit looked more complete. It's strange how images stay with you. Hopefully some of ours will inspire you next time you browse through your closets. 

By the way, the longer pencil skirt isn't going anywhere. For next fall we saw it paired over and over again with a strong peplum. We'll definitely show you some of that soon....(Skirt H&M, top BCBG, boots Marco Santi)
