I should go look for a wide one.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;@kkards - That's a good idea as well.

I think a linen top would drape nicely, but the 2 that I have are a bit too dark for the skirt. I've seen one at Ann Taylor Loft that I think would work nicely, but I won't be able to make it out to get it for about a week.&nbsp;</p> <p>I should add that it was in the mid 80s F here today, so from now until September/October, I won't be sporting too many toppers.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-attempt-to-debombshell-the-pencil-skirt#post-941089 Fri, 24 May 2013 22:10:22 +0000 Caro in Oz 941089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Suz said I love the idea of a cuff. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-attempt-to-debombshell-the-pencil-skirt#post-941085 Fri, 24 May 2013 22:08:16 +0000 Lyn D. 941085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Suz's suggestions! It IS hard to amp-up the style quota without a topper!<br />A nice on-trend colour top here.<br />&nbsp;I agree that maybe a more substantial necklace might do the trick also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-attempt-to-debombshell-the-pencil-skirt#post-941077 Fri, 24 May 2013 22:02:00 +0000 Suz 941077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kristin, you look great! Green is a good colour for you.</p> <p>It's really tough to feel "finished" in a simple two piece outfit, I know. (I struggle with this, too.) I am wondering if the T has enough drape to try a semi tuck or faux tuck with it? That might help. And maybe a cuff or just a fantastic bright bag to contrast with the green stripe or a tan one to work with the sandals?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-attempt-to-debombshell-the-pencil-skirt#post-941067 Fri, 24 May 2013 21:52:09 +0000 Kristin L 941067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie put up her de-bombshelling the pencil skirt a while back and I have finally be able to try it. It's probably easier to do that with denim pencil, but I've been struggling to find a way to where this skirt.&nbsp;</p> <p>I got several&nbsp;compliments&nbsp;at work on this outfit, so I'm proud of that. I feel like it's still missing something, but I'm not sure what. I still haven't found a statement necklace or bright purse&nbsp;that I like yet, so that could be the missing piece.</p> <p>Top - J.Crew&nbsp;<br />Undershirt - Old Navy<br />Skirt - Tommy Hilfiger<br />Sandals - Timberlands<br />Jewelry - Belk, Etsy and Fossil</p> <p>Any suggestions or comments are welcome! </p>
