Pencil Skirt - H&M - $15

My favorite pencil skirts have come from H&M because of their fit and comfort. Being a skinner girl in the US, I truly appreciate a clothing company that accomodates different sizes. A US size 2/ EUR size 32 pencil skirt fits perfectly on my waist through hip. As a reference, I am a size 0 with most Amercian brands. I picked it up at the sale rack for $15 back in June. I wasn't sure if I needed another pencil skirt but when I tried it on, oooooohhh it fit so well! I have been styling it with flowier tops to balance the composition so that it's not body hugging from top to bottom. Different shades of blues have been trusted as a staple at work while denim blue is such a chic color going into late summer when paired with a light blue shirt. When clothes are in the same color family, it is easy to give the impression of a longer body shape. I contrast the outfit with red pointy flats for a business casual look that brings a touch of personality to life.

Pumps - Target - Mossimo - $8.98

I've always felt the urge to visit the shoe department for their clearence section whenever I pay a visit to Target for groceries. Again, Target did not disappoint. These Mossimo animal print pumps had me at hello for the elegant look that is very easy to pair with clothes.  They measure 4 inches high and have non-slip bottoms and cushions. While I have not tried them on to work, they seem to have enough cushion to make them comfortable to walk on. The heels are perfect for work, not too high to look like I'm heading out to the club right after work and at the same time elongating my legs proportionally. Nonetheless, there are 2 downsides which I consider acceptable at this price:
1) they are not a snug fit on top so there is some extra space for me;
2) there is no toe cleaverage which might be a turnoff for some girls.
