There are a few items that create a look that will not let you down 99.99% of the time (and the other .01% you should probably just stay in bed). A pencil skirt is your secret weapon - any body type can pull off this piece and it always looks sleek and polished. On top, a bright color will play nicely off a solid or subtle pattern (my skirt is a navy pinstripe). Last and equally as important, every girl should own a pair of leopard heels... they are the quintessential fashion statement that never goes out of style. So if you are ever in an outfit malfunction situation - remember this fail-safe :)

Pretty.But I don´t have leopard heels..I don´t like animal prints on me :) xx
I loved what you said about the items that 99,99% of the time won't let you down. I couldn't agree more. The pencil skirt, a bright top and patterned shoes look amazing together :)
Lovely classic outfit :)
It's good to have a few failsafe outfits in mind, they come in handy on busy days! :)

Ok! I have a pencil skirt in my closet that I have never worn. I thought it didn't fit right. I will give it another try!
Definitely agree with this. That pencil skirt is gorgeous!

Great classic outfit! These are timeless pieces that every woman needs. And man do I love some animal print shoes!!
I like the heels!
Love this look on you! That top is such a beautiful color :)
i definitely love those leopard heels! perfect. and pencil skirts are so great - i actually look terrible in them though!
Leopard heels will get you far in life. They are the ultimate neutral.
This is my GO-TO in the morning! In fact, that's what I did this morning when I woke up late ;) Black pencil skirt + ruffle blue top! VIOLA!
You look super cute and I love those leopard heels :)

Love that hot pink top, so silky and bright! I've gotta say though...I can't bring myself to put on a pencil skirt...I've tried a million times but always end up feeling super uncomfortable because my hips/butt/thighs look GIANT. Any suggestions?

I couldn't agree more, and I love this one with the pink top! Right now, I'm spending my summer job-hunting, so I'm not going to work every day. However, I still keep reaching for pencil skirts when I go shopping--I can't help it, I love them so!
I love this! Yup, Leopard heels are on my wish list...
What a perfect polished outfit!

I love my pencil skirts for that reason alone. They really can never let you down. Love how classic and polished you look!

Those heels are fabulous! I love the pencil shirt, too. I've been going through a navy blue phase. I've gotten, like, six navy blue things this summer!

You just reminded me that I have a pair of Leopard Heels that never see the day of light...they're by Dolce & Gabbanna too so I am going to make a concerted effort to wear them more. Love this outfit, the shell is a great colour on your skin tone.
Great look, so right about the pencil skirt! newest follower here!

Well-said. You look beautiful in this outfit. That cut of top is not one I see too often, but it should be out there more. It really frames your shoulders and makes the outfit totally office-appropriate.
