I have a few fit-and-flare skirts, but what suits me best are pencil.<br /><br />You are dressing perfectly for your build, which is imperative; fitted jackets and flarey skirts. How I pray every day that youngsters will quit the pencils for that which is more ideal to their body type. <br /><br />I adore Anthropologie, but I can never find anything long enough for my height. I stick to their overpriced accessories.Princess Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17217157534383672867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017927177231080668.post-81484741654679520622012-03-27T09:46:35.382-04:002012-03-27T09:46:35.382-04:00I find that pencil skirts are so ubiquitous in the...I find that pencil skirts are so ubiquitous in the frum community. I don't know your body shape but there IS a floaty skirt out there for just about everyone...it's all in the execution. I balance a pear shape with fitted jackets on top with a-line underneath...instant hourglass. When I wear something floor length its usually fitted over hips/rear and flaring below to add height. <br /><br />Get thee to an Anthropologie! They can be relied upon for lengths, but also have lots of fabrics (lighter to reduce bulk of a flared skirt) and prints (The better to call attention to the slim calves...) to choose from.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
