• Pencil It In

  We're loving that pencil skirts are back in full force, but let's face it—with constricting waistbands and narrow cuts, they're not usually the comfiest skirts out there. So when we came across this knit version we fell in love. A cashmere-mohair blend means you won't want to take it off!
