Pencil Pusher

Well, it's Monday, and you know what that means! It's Marvelous Monday! Yeah!
Our philosophy is this: Monday is nobody's favourite day of the week, but maybe its terrible reputation is a little undeserved. We're on a mission to make ours (and hopefully yours) a little less awful by dressing marvelously!
This week's theme: pencil skirts.
Now, I'm that really lame girl who doesn't own one. I know, I know. I've never really found one that I love, so the hunt continues. So we can all pretend that this dress is my pencil skirt. We can do that, right?
I basically wore this to get a bunch of snacks for an upcoming adventure. People have to learn that if they let me get food without structure, I will come back a weird amalgamation and no regrets.
Also, dried figs. Yum.

Looklooklook, new earrings! Earring Purgatory is over!

Dress: Ross | Blouse, necklace: Forever 21 | Bag: Volcom (from Ross, probably) | Sunglasses: Tilly's | Hose: Avenue | Flats: Payless | Earrings: Claire's
Fortunately, I'm pretty sure the others actually have pencil skirts and aren't lame like me. So go pay them some attention, they deserve it.

    1. Thank you! My mom got it for me for Christmas, actually, and I've been wearing it all the time. I absolutely love it. :)
      I'd recommend going for it, haha.

  2. Cute look, but that necklace is something else-I need to invest in a hot pink necklace like that! This makes me feel a little better, I was kind of stressing about if we get a theme of something that I don't own will I need to opt out? Thanks for setting the precedents! lol

    1. Thanks! I think it was a dollar on sale, or something, and I've had some trouble figuring out how to wear it. I'm glad you liked it. :)
      And I think that it kind of challenges our creativity if we don't have the piece. You have to get clever and think, "Okay, what do I have that's like it...?" It's fun!

  3. Love that shirt so much! Yeah, don't worry if you don't exactly have an item in the challenge, its more a creative challenge so using the dress is a great idea. :)

    1. Thank you! I wear it way too often, I think, but I'm generally very okay with that. Haha.
      And it's kind of fun when you can't quite accomplish the challenge the easy way; it forces an extra dose of creativity!

  4. Despite it not being an actual pencil skirt, you look fab! Extra creative of course :) I love that blouse, too.

    1. Thank you! I swear, this blouse is, like, the most important piece of my uniform. Haha.
