WIW: De-Bomshelling the new pencil skirt

Today I'm breaking out the new pencil skirt I just got - it's got tiered layers with the tiers all sewn down flat. It's very comfortable, completely lined and I think figure flattering. I've paired it with a recently thrifted blowsy top in a white/black/blue animal print. It's got pleating at the rounded neckline, flutter sleeves and is a light option for today's heat. I've popped on my Fly London sandals, added by black/white handbag and a blue bracelet for accessories. I then added my chunky black/silver leather belt to rein in the waist volume, accentuate my waist and add a bit of edge.

Does this outfit work? How are the proportions to your eye? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.

Blouse: thrifted (no label)
Skirt: Laura Petites
Sandals: Fly London
Handbag: Danier Leather (thrifted)
Bracelet: thrifted
Belt: Danier Leather (thrifted)

If this is the totally gorgeous de-bombshelling look, how would be the bombshelling one???---:-)signed in just to tell yo this!

The skirt looks great. I love the belt with this. It creates a beautiful feminine silhouette. Is it ok of I suggest there is "touch" of bombshell here? I like it.

I like it! The belt is the perfect accent. I love the skirt, it fits you so well. I like the zig-zag seams on it also.

That is perfect. The loose top hides whatever flaws you may have, the belt puts you back in an hourglass and the shoes....ah UWP heaven!

I love this Shannon!! You have been looking so amazing lately. That top is a wonderful thrift score. The belt and shoes are edgy and awesome and the pencil skirt looks great on you!

I see I'm not the only one who thinks your look is pretty darn bombshell! The proportions and fit are very attractive.

You look great, Shannon! I'm loving every detail and think it's a 10.

I just love that blouse and skirt together! The belt does indeed add an edgy quality and so do the sandals. I also like the black and white theme carried on with the purse. I think it is a beautiful sophisticated bombshell look!

Taking notes... ;o)

Great outfit! I love the belt with the shoes and skirt. Unfortunately, I can't see the tiers very well on my moniter - the skirt just looks black

Fab, and yes, a bit bombshell :)!

Sylvie

Wow! I think this outfit is going to get a 10/killer rating. You have really hit your style stride.

Heather

I see edgy bombshell. Lovely.

I just love dark blue and black together. That shirt goes perfectly belted over new skirt. Bombshell or not, it works!

Thanks everyone! I'm really happy with my new pencil skirt - very comfortable and doesn't wrinkle too badly by the end of the day.

This is such a flattering and "Shannon" outfit! I love the whole ensemble and think you should repeat it often!
