The black pencil skirt is a must-have basic to any woman's wardrobe. I always suggest looking for one that hits 2 inches above the knee for a professionally appropriate look. It is the perfect complement to your blouses especially any in the season's hottest color, for example....

If you just want one great piece for fall, this chic blouse is a great choice. You get emerald green for a beautiful color. A ruffled accent for a stylish twist. A pleated neckline for a blousey, flattering fit. A ribbon belt for a feminine silhouette. What is not to love? The drape of the top works well back to both a black skinny pant and a wider leg. Of course this blouse is also a great complement to jeans with a nice shoe. Perfect dress-up or dress-down option to add to your closet.
So where is the lace? On your legs of course with the season's hottest trend in hosiery!

Truth. There are sexier lace tights out there but I found this pair worth noting for two reasons. First, they are professionally appropriate in more liberal offices when worn with a longer skirt and tasteful top as shown above. Second, they are Spanx which means you get a little sexy and a little control-top. A fashion oxymoron if you will, but it does exist. These tights provide shaping to not only the muffin top area but through the hips and thighs as well.
The key to lace tights is to make sure whatever you wear them with is not over-the-top sexy and more on the conservative side as not to invoke the bouidor.
CC Tip: Substitute the ribbon belt on the green blouse with the The World's Most Amazing Belt. Add a basic black pump for a complete polished and professional outfit.
