The Perfect Denim Pencil Skirt For Under $30!

My prayers have been answered!

Though it may sound silly I have searched high and low for THE quintessential denim pencil skirt. What does that look like? A wash that is free of streaks or other distressed embellishments, a fabric that won't cling to my butt like spandex on some '80s hair band lothario, and a slit that isn't so high it reveals whether or not I've paid a visit to my bikini wax dominatrix Susan.

Surprisingly something so basic is quite impossible to find. These skirts from Old Navy are pretty darn close to perfect. I love the slight v-shape of the top one which creates the illusion of a more shapely waist, while my coworker Kim (yes, there are two of us!) swears by the uber flattering gray wash and straight seams of the second. If I can convince her to model it for us I'll post the pictures to prove it.

Best of all, they're both under $30. Find them here.

New York Street Beat: To The Tee

Let’s face it: in the summer heat there’s nothing more comfortable than a soft t-shirt. But usually t-shirts are, well, pretty basic.

That’s why Jenna’s anything but basic American Apparel striped jersey dress leapt out at us as a major style statement. We love how her look is instantly transformed from casual to sexy with the off-the-shoulder sleeve. The wide belt provides the perfect contrast; while her bag and gladiators lend an air of rock star chic.
