Let a Snazzy Brocade Pencil Skirt Take You Into Spring & Summer in Transitional Style. FASHIONTRIBES FASHION BLOG

Brocade pencil skirt - Newport-News.com

A brocade skirt can feel like a better idea than an actual 3-D wardrobe item. What do you wear with one so as not to come off excessively dressed up for day, or like you don't know what you're doing? The key is pairing it with the right items. (If you're still not sure about the trend, this one from Newport News is only $40!)

While it's still chilly out, pair the skirt with a classy white buttondown (think Carolina Herrera), tights, and close-toe wedges or heels. As the mercury rises, switch out the top for a stylish white tee, and add some stylish & summer'y linen peep toes.  Happily, the metallic lariat necklace & bag are season-proof. Either opt for something budget-friendly, or take your whole look up about 1000 notches with a chi chi designer version that you'll never want to leave the house without.
