So you know that pencil skirts are my work wear item of choice, right? Well let me tell you: pencil skirts aren’t made strictly for the office. They’re actually much more versatile and perfect for the weekend too.
To dress them down, I find that pairing a perfectly slouchy tank or shirt balances nicely with the slimmer skirt. Throw on some sandals and hello, weekend wear.
Not quite ready to bare so much skin? Throw on a jean jacket and sub the sandals for closed-toe flats. Your pencil skirts will be doing double duty in no time!
Do you wear pencil skirts on the weekend?

Agree, great way to tone down a work item. It looks so sunny where you are so the orange skirt really shines. I’ve a few smarter skirts that I will wear on holiday or at the weekends but I do wear them to work as well. It’s fun to mix and match them depending on the occassion!
I love the print of that one! It looks great for the weekend! If only I looked good in pencil skirts. I have one but its too tight so I don’t wear it that much

This is such a fun way to wear a pencil skirt – and such a fun pencil skirt! I was wearing a sweatshirt with mine during the winter but had no idea what I’d do when the weather got warmer. Thanks for the inspiration girl!
I’m a huge pencil skirt fan!
Lauren I love navy and orange together. The print of your skirt looks fabulous. Great idea to pair it with sandals and optional jean jacket. Have a great weekend!
Week! Lol
This is such a great post! I’m pretty perplexed by pencil skirts–I’ve always felt like they were one of those items that would only work for the office, but you totally proved me wrong. Next time I want to wear one for the weekend, I’m breaking out a slouchy tank!
So cute! I am beyond jealous that you got to wear a tank top this weekend. It snowed here on Friday. 🙁
This definitely works as casual wear. I love the print of your skirt. I rarely wear pencil skirts casually, but I also own shockingly few of them.

Loving the casual tank with the pencil skirt! I wore a pencil skirt, tshirt, and wedge boots as my uniform when I traveled around Japan last year! I haven’t worn a skirt casually since then, so thanks for the reminder!

I’m so with you – pencil skirts all day everyday! I’m in serious need to bust them out for spring whenever she decides to come to the Midwest {seriously, she’s such a tease this year…}. I’m loving the tank combo you’re rocking!
