Textured Pencil Skirt Office Outfits

Two office outfits with textured pencil skirts and some fun prints. I feel with the mostly neutral colour schemes these are a bit plain and they aren't my favourite outfits, but they did work for recent office days.


What I wore:




EarringsMimco silver stud earrings 
Tank: Target ruffle sleeve dog print blouse
Skirt: Target textured silver pencil skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus purple Salvatore Ferragamo 'Vara' leather bow bracelet
BagBalenciaga raisin purple 2009 giant silver G21 hardware work bag


Why I wore it:

I decided that with the fun dachshund print on this blouse that a necklace would be too much, but looking at the photos this felt a bit plain. Even with the big purple Balenciaga work bag!

This blouse is one I haven't worn in quite a while, and I decided to give it a final wear to see if it would be a keeper in my wardrobe. Definitely not a keeper, but my colleague mentioned she really liked it and wanted to use the pattern (she makes her own clothes) so I'm going to pass it on to her.

I think the purple bracelet and purple Balenciaga work bag didn't add enough to this outfit, maybe I should have added some more statement making earrings with this to make up for not adding a necklace. Not something I'll be wearing again as I'm passing the top onto my colleague now. 


Last worn: Mimco silver studs, dachshund print blouse, grey textured pencil skirt, purple Ferragamo bow bracelet, Converse, Balenciaga purple work bag.

What I wore:






Necklace: thrifted Mix Apparel clover designer inspired necklace
Top: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
SkirtCotton On 'Mica' mesh spot skirt in dusty pink
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs silver tuxedo flats
Bracelets: the usual
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

Wasn't such a fan of this outfit either! It feels a bit plain. Even with the fun textured polka dot pencil skirt, I think this outfit was also lacking some colour. I did add a necklace to this one, but with the grey tunic top I think a bright and colourful necklace would have been better than this black and silver one.

It was good to wear my Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag again too, an opshop find from last year. I love it. I just think, like in the outfit above, that this was missing something and it's not a combination of pieces I would wear again. An okay outfit for the office, but not something I enjoyed as much. I can tell I was in a rush in the morning putting this together!


Last worn: grey tunic top, clover necklace, polka dot pencil skirt, silver ballet flats, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag.

  2. Fairly neutral they might be, but I still think these are two perfect outfits for the office. I'm loving the fun print of that first top! xxx

  3. The grey with the polka a dots look great together.

  4. I've been on a run of dissatisfying work outfits too, Mica - but give yourself a pass (you still look great and there's nothing wrong with these looks), and move onto the next look. <3

  5. The blouse is super pretty, but if it isn't a keeper, I'm glad it will be used by a colleague! Definitely a good use of the blouse. I have to say...I LOVE the second outfit. Even if you aren't such a huge fan of it! I love the skirt and grey shirt, because it has this amazing retro kind of vibe. It looks great <3
