The pencil skirt is a staple but the midi length is a trend that
swept the runways and is taking over street style. Known for its
subtle sexiness, layering on some soft colored basics in fabrics
such as linen and cotton makes this the perfect piece for
casual Friday at the office.

Spice things up by taking
this skirt up a notch. Add
some boldness with bright
colors and a sportier style with a
racer back tank. Another huge
and unexpected trend of the
season—peep toed booties.
