I'm 'curvy' but I wear pencil skirts all the time. Yes, they emphasis your hips but they also make your waist look tiny and curves should be celebrated. Get it if you love it, it sounds wonderfully 'pin up' in style

Thanks for your comments everyone. My waist IS tiny, compared to my hips, but this skirt sits on the hips, like a hipster style so I'd need to put a belt around my waist over my top to get that cinched-in-ness? Ah well, it's in the hands of the Charity Gods - if it's gone by payday it was never meant to be anyway!

Today:
- Black blouse - Topshop sale
- Black and grey vertical striped wool skirt - Oasis sale
- Black cardie - H&M
- Grey chunky short-sleeved cardie over the top (I'm freezing!) - Oasis sale
- Black tights - Tesco?
- Black flat knee boots - Faith

Have a good day everyone - hope you're not too cold!

I think it will still work. Do you have a elasticated belt - a big clinchy one? because that will do the trick if the skirt doesn't. Or any belt over a top will. My waist is also tiny compared to my hips and belts round my waist are my most used accessory.

Earings are always included. Those plugs look great. I found a tiger eye ring in a hospice shop in Felixstowe last week for £2, I can't stop looking at it when I am wearing it though, I love how the light changes it.

Me today (working from home, then off in to London later for some Craftivism stuff and then seeing my friends' band in Hoxton):

Black wrap-around fine knitted top (Gap - ancient, I had to sew up the armpit the other day it is so old but it is a great top for my figure)
A gold, orange and brown bird print maxi skirt - made from 70s curtains (ebay)
Black over-the knee socks (River island)
Tan zip-up Dr Marten boots (ebay)
Hair is down with my fringe pinned back with a feather hairclip (primarni)

When I venture outside I will add
Grey zip-up hoodie (Howies)
Navy duffle coat (Fat Face - present)
grey 'convertable' mittens (shop in Cologne station)
Vintage tan satchel bag (ebay)

I think I might put my tiger eye ring on inspired by adouglasmhor

And some jewellery

Alex, I was like that yesterday.

Sorry for my absence, things a bit tough...and my worse by the hardrive on my laptop giving up this morning...I'm on Dad's old beast of a machine at the moment, until we can see if mine is fixable or not. Nightmare. Cannot afford clothes that fit, let alone a new laptop!

Today I'm wearing:
Grey knit dress with cat on the front: New Look
Black tights: Boots

and if I venture out I'll add some shorts or something as the dress is a bit indecent!
