How Original

Florals for spring, how original. But hang on, florals have changed. They've been upgraded. Florals are not just Easter Sunday or pretty cupcake prints anymore, oh no. They're oversized, unexpected colors, and nothing you'd expect. Today we're taking on florals in work-ready pencil skirts.

Nordstrom, Cascade Detail Floral Print Pencil Skirt, $78

See what I told you? Didn't see this one coming. So crisp and fresh for spring.

River Island, Orange Floral Print Pencil Skirt, $20

A little That 70s Show but pair it with a silk bow blouse and you're ready for 9-5.

Ann Taylor, Curvy Hibiscus Pencil Skirt, $89

This skirt is going to hug your hips and slim your waist. 

TJ Maxx, Printed Scuba Pencil Skirt, $16

Can't beat the price! This is something out of an adult coloring book and I love it.

Don't pass on floral this spring. I promise you can find something that is going to work with tops that are already in your closet. Play with stripes or dots on top to really add a punch.

Pencil Pusher

You know what item doesn't get enough credit? The pencil skirt. It's a hard working piece in your closet that can pull a look together in an instant. Think about it: the button down shirt, the cardigan, the t shirt! Slap on the pencil skirt and instant chic. Today we're looking at the patterned pencil. Let's see what a print adds to this staple.

Nordstrom, Halogen Printed Pencil Skirt, $69

These aren't polka dots ladies, these are stars. Ha! A gorgeous purple with black stars.

Loft, Autumn Bloom Pencil Skirt, $69

This color works for fall because its a mustard yellow rather than a buttery yellow. I love it with this soft t shirt.

Talbots, Textured Floral Skirt, $31

Originally $110 this skirt is a steal and it packs a punch.

Piperlime, Three Dots Fitted Skirt, $75

This is your comfort pencil. No zippers or clasps, just cotton with a hint of spandex.

Let's give the pencil skirt some credit, it does a lot for my closet, what about yours? Oh and did I mention all of these picks are $75 and under? Not too shabby.

Anything But Pencil Pusher

Pencil skirts have always been and will always be a staple in every woman's wardrobe. They come in black, navy, pink, houndstooth, but let's try something new, something unexpected. A patterned pencil.

JC Penny, Worthington Side Zip Pencil, $25

This skirt is absolutely gorgeous. The geometric print mixed with bursts of color, and hello, the price.

Modcloth, Mushroom for Another Skirt, $54

A sweet mushroom print skirt that is just adorable for an office setting with a white tie silk blouse.

Kohl's, Simple Vera Wang Plaid Ponte Pencil Skirt, $24

A fabulous almost watercolor canvas design for a skirt. You go Vera.

Nordstrom, Vince Camuto Ornate Paisley Pencil, $89

Are you kidding me? I'm beyond smitten with this skirt. You know who would wear this? Wait for it...Kate freaking Middleton. Go, go now and buy it.

I could wear a pencil skirt 9-5 everyday for the rest of eternity but I'm just loving the opportunity to mix in some sass. Embrace the pattern!
