How to Style: Mosaic Pencil Skirt

Hello to all of you fashionistas out there! Today, as part of the, "How to Style with Emily Ehardt" series here on HalfStack Magazine, I will be showing you how you can style this mosaic pencil skirt from Loft. However, these tips don't just apply to this gorgeous skirt, but also to any printed pencil skirt you may have in your wardrobe. Here we go with these awesome styling tips:

1. Try pairing a printed pencil skirt with a blouse that is also printed. You can totally mix prints, as long as they contain the same colors. For example, with this skirt, I would pair a cream and black printed blouse that has a smaller print.

2. Pair a cropped blazer with the skirt. A cropped jacket that hits just at the waistband of the skirt to define your waist and to add a professional vibe to your look.

3. Piggybacking off of the previous tip, you can also toss a denim jacket on with the skirt. A denim jacket adds an effortless touch, but still looks cool, while being casual enough for an every day ensemble.

4. Add a bold accessory to compliment, but not compete with the print of the skirt. Since this skirt from Loft is fairly muted, I would add a bold statement necklace or a bright heel to my outfit. However, be sure to keep the rest of your look simple, so your look is not over-the-top.
