Karen Kane Sequin Pencil Skirt (Nordstrom, $59)
I love a sequin pencil skirt for evening. It’s a versatile choice because it can be roughed up for a rocker chic look, or it can be made prim and proper for a sophisticated evening on the town. Also, if you choose a knee length version, it’s good for many sizes and age groups. Check back later today for two ways to wear this skirt.
The Instagram story asking for submissions yielded so many good ones that I had to write a part two. Or part deux, for all you 90s kids who remember these movies.

A few months ago, my husband killed two of my plants. I was out of town for several weeks, and while I was away, he apparently forgot that plants need water to live. So when I returned, my snake plant and my Calamondin tree were both dead, while his braided money tree continued to thrive. […]

It’s allegedly spring. However, for every minute of sunshine, there seems to be an hour of rain and gloom. So while I’d love to wear lighter spring pieces, it’s time to bring on the layers.
Belle-
I'm a little on the shorter side, can a sequin skirt be hemmed? Or is that something you have to get the right length on from the start?
Thanks!
Maggie-In my experience sequin dresses can be hemmed, so I'm sure skirts can too. It might be a bit pricey, though.
I have a very similar sequin skirt from a few years back and I had it hemmed with no problem. IIRC, it was more expensive than a regular hem, but nothing outrageous. I also have a sequin dress with sequins similar to the DKNY one (in the shopstyle app) that couldn't be (easily) hemmed. I think with the smaller/flatter sequins (like on this particular skirt), you're good to go!
Thanks so much! Now to get myself a pencil skirt like this and find a seamstress who loves me enough to get it ready for a party next week!
