Crop Top & Houndstooth Pencil Skirt

Nordstrom Pencil Skirt (similar here, plus option here!), Sam Edelman Shoes (crushing on these), Stella & Dot Earrings

As you can see you, I’m still loving houndstooth! Earlier this year I confessed my love for this chic pattern in the form of a skater dress and even remixed the look this summer. With this pencil skirt I’m channeling my sexier version of houndstooth. I’ve paired the pencil skirt with a basic crop top. Still keeping it classy I’m careful not to show too much skin; my skirt is below the knee and my crop top is more of a peek a boo instead of an all-out bare midriff.

P.S – A pencil skirt is definitely a wardrobe essential! Find out more about why every woman should have one in her closet here.
