You can always make it more casual with a denim jacket or shirt or graphic tee under a cardi. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-pencil-skirt-too-dressy-or-just-right-for-casual-mom-on-the-go#post-117154 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 17:24:00 +0000 Queen Mum 117154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>a pencil skirt does seem a bit formal for MOTG, not to mention the mobility factor. Do you feel that you could easily perfom all your mommy tasks with a pencil skirt on? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-pencil-skirt-too-dressy-or-just-right-for-casual-mom-on-the-go#post-117142 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 16:55:39 +0000 Sarah 117142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it just depends on your preferences. I tend to dress up more (even on casual days) than most people, so I do not consider a pencil skirt dressy at all. I'm wearing a strawberry colored tweed jacket today. It's a great update on a very formal/old fashioned fabric. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-pencil-skirt-too-dressy-or-just-right-for-casual-mom-on-the-go#post-117135 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 16:37:01 +0000 garmenta 117135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>While cobalt or fuchsia sound fun, I'd think that a neutral like gray, especially in a skirt, would give you more wear and more options. If a pencil shape seems too formal, how about an a-line with some fun seaming or drape? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-pencil-skirt-too-dressy-or-just-right-for-casual-mom-on-the-go#post-117126 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 16:19:38 +0000 Dusty 117126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been thinking of making myself a pencil skirt and there's a great sale on wool suiting - it'd only cost me $4 (plus shipping) to make a nice wool skirt - but is it too dressy for daily wear for a stay at home mom, or would a fun color like cobalt or fuschia make it work? (the fuschia is lambswool flannel suiting and the cobalt is boucle suiting, but it's dry clean only so I'd be more likely to do the fuschia). </p>
