Pencil me in, por favor...

Pencil skirts were created by a genius seamstress, and I'm glad they're becoming acceptable to wear again. Here are reasons why they are magnificent:

1. They suck you in,
2. Are long enough to hide unnecessarily icky parts of the legs,
3. You don't need a lot of dust in your pocket to buy one; they can be found at just about any thrift store for a bargain,
4. And I'd like to think Jenny from the Block would be a bit jealous of my jelly...
