PENCIL SKIRT: love story

I feel all grownup when I wear clothes like this... haha. Pencil skirt has always been a mystery to me, because no matter what, it makes women look slim and tall... Although it is quite uncomfortable to wear. I sometimes rock it. SOMETIMES is the key word. When do, I wear silk tops (very likely) and pumps (mostly). In this picture, I'm wearing my one of a kind silk top that i loooove. I'm wearing this top for the past  7 years.

Vintage?

My grandma wore this shirt when she was a young lady. The shirt is easily 50 years old (a real vintage), but it still looks brand new. She gave it to me when I was a teenager... At the time I didn't understand the significance of the situation. I finally get it now and I cherish this garment. In a way, it is my lucky shirt. Every time I wear it, I think of her... I think about her youth. I wonder about what kind of a young lady she must've been. And I feel so fortunate that I am her grandchild. Words can't express the way I feel about this woman. She is so elegant, yet so tough... She has always been my rock. Always in my side, no matter what. I love her so much... I love writing about her, so forgive me if I'm completely off-the-subject.  

Anyway, I wore this for a presentation today... for a little good luck charm. Its silk fabric and ethnic pattern is absolutely gorgeous. To show the beautiful pattern, I specifically wore a jet black pencil skirt. Thin leather belt is there to give the skirt a little something something... I wore my pearl necklace, along with stud earrings and pearl David Yurman ring.
