Personally I love pencil skirts that cut-off just below the knee, but many of the skirts this season finish at or above the knee. If you do buy a pencil skirt be adventurous and experiment with different patterns and colors (a la Garcelle in red plaid). However, make sure you eventually get a black and/or tweed one for your wardrobe… it’ll last forever.
