How to Look Great in a Pencil Skirt

The Pencil Skirt was a hit a few years ago, but today you can still make the pencil skirt look great! Solid and bright, bold colours make the skirt one to wear today. It is quite a simple look yet it shows positivity and is just calling for some fun!

The Vibrant Pencil Skirt: 1) Cobalt Pencil Skirt, Glamorous; 2) Mint Sequin Pencil Skirt,Topshop; 3) Tomato Leather Zip Detail Skirt, Miss Selfridge; 5) Yellow Asymmetric Peplum Skirt,River Island. For more, visit: www.femside.com

Pencil skirts in vibrant colours are fun to wear! Brighten up any dull office day. Just look at those colours. How bright and fun! 

Unlike the Skater Skirt for 2014, the Pencil Skirt should be styled, 'solid with solid.' Pair a solid top with your solid skirt and add a cute clutch and necklace in addition.

These skirts are really jolly to wear and I can't wait to try one for the spring/summer season! As I figure out a shirt to pair with my skirt, maybe I will link a picture in the comments of myself and my look. So, be sure to stay tuned!

Are shorts getting too short?

I know it is still cold and if you're anywhere like me in England then wet and windy too but, I'm hopeful for warm weather to come.

Like the photo on the left, teenagers are wearing shorts so short in some cases that they show butt cheeks. Really to me that's not "classy".

Of course you can get shorts that don't show your bum but the patterns available are harder to find. You go into a shop and want a pair that's not going to be getting men eyeing you up and perving on you. Then you find a tone of tiny ones that would give you a wedgie.

They can also be called "hot pants" but I don't think much is hot about them. I think they're another way of girls attracting guys attention but, to me it's the wrong kind of attention.
What do you think?

 Typical Hipster "short" shorts. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That is the type of stereotype that this short short trend is based on. Typically worn by teenagers and young adults. Hipster style is one of the most popular type out there. 

Here is how to be hipster http://www.wikihow.com/Be-a-Hipster 

A typical outfit and my favourite one of the hipster style wearing far too short shorts. (Yet, I'd wear it with shorts that are a little longer). 

Long pendant and open shirt or cardigan look. 

Examples of what I think are inappropriate for young adults or teens to be wearing out in public:

   When I see girls in the tiny shorts I think this:

I'm not saying shorts and the hipster style is bad. I'm saying that a lot of people wear the shorts that hardly cover your behind. That length of them I'm saying is not appropriate to wear. I don't want you to feel bad by this but to think about if it is suitable. Yes wearing shorts is fine and can look really pretty however, to have them showing of your bum like your wearing denim underwear is not on. 

Anyway bring on the hot weather so we can get our legs out wearing nice shorts that actually cover our behinds he he. 

Is Velvet Making a Come Back?

A while ago, I saw a girl wearing a velvet dress. She paired it with black tights and black boots, which are trending big-time right now! Not sure if velvet was making a come back or becoming a trend again, I decided I would do some research!

For 2014, velvet can be worn modernly just as that beautiful girl had styled that dress. It was a simple outfit and looked very 'fresh' and 'new.'

Below are some ways velvet dresses can be worn today! 

These dresses are so beautiful and are so very versatile. 

Other ways to wear velvet garments:

These are great for the upcoming winter to spring transition. The velvet shorts add so much and add an extra touch to that tan, light-fitted sweater. A floral blouse peaking out under the sweater just assures us all that spring is for surely on it's way! ✿

Boots have been a huge trend in the recent months and not just because of the autumn and winter. The versatility of them lets you add them to any outfit and shows off a twist of comfort and vintage style. Maybe try to pair a velvet boot with an outfit to add creativity. Both of the pictures above show a side of vintage style as well. 

As I see it, velvet today will not hit the fashion market widespread. Searching on internet, there wasn't much to find for modern fashion. If you feel otherwise about velvet becoming a trend again, don't be shy about commenting! If you want to wear velvet, it will provide a look of vintage style. You will have to put the outfit together yourself though with pieces as there aren't many choices for velvet these days. Making it into modern style is all on you! 

Now, for some red velvet cake...
