Fashion: Thanks pencil skirt, you gave me back my skirt mojo

I love my trousers and always have and so its a no brainer for me when I shop for them. Skirts on the other hand I find a challenge. What is strange about this was that before babies I wore them all the time. After babies my shape changed, my confidence with skirts wained and I have never really worn them since . 

This week I dared to be different, I picked up a magazine and saw a curvy celebrity in a pencil skirt and suddenly I thought "I can do this". Rather than go all out and spend a fortune I decided to go down the Topshop route and order a double thick pencil skirt. I read the reviews and they were all good so 3 days later it arrived in the post. My instant thought was that I might have to go back to the shop  - there is not way my butt is going to look good in that! 

I tried it on and my mind was changed. My figure looked nice, womanly if you will, I put on some high courts and a fuschia pink blouse and hey presto I look sophisticated. I walked in to show him indoors and normally I get a "umm yes nice... hurry up" kind of response, but instead I got a "you look gorgeous, why are you wearing that to go out with your mate?" Safe to say, he loved it! Not that I wear clothes for him, but like anyone, I like a positive uplifting response.

So don't fear the pencil skirt because its made for figures and figures are made to show off, not hide. A £20 skirt from Topshop made me feel fabulous. I walked into a restaurant with my head held high feeling like I was wearing a million dollar skirt. My gorgeous friend who always looks cool, loved it and so did I.

The pencil skirt gave me back my skirt mojo, and I will now look for more over the seasons. 

Order this little gem online or in store and see for yourself...
