I like to drive Adrien crazy telling her that I can't pull off pencil skirts. What I really mean is I can't pull them off like she does, but that's neither here nor there. Because I bought a denim pencil skirt and I like it okay?
It's Pilcro and the Letterpress (an anthropologie brand), and the style name, after doing some digging, is the "Threaded Nuances Skirt" (anthro, wtf?). Since I know how their jeans fit me, I felt secure buying it on a whim from eBay for $20. I was worried about it being skin tight, so I sized up, and I wish I hadn't. It gapes at the waist and pooches out at my stomach. Can you get a denim skirt taken in?
Also, Adrien sent me these cute Jewelmint bangles because she loves me. Sweet, right?

The skirt looks fine in these shots! Personally (and i think it's because of my body shape), i have given up on denim skirts, because it finally dawned on me one day that they never flattered me, no matter what style or cut. I like the stripes and the bright touches you have paired with the skirt.
