The Print Pencil

There’s nothing more lady-like than a prim, floral-print pencil skirt. This lightweight linen version from Floreat embodies l’elegance, with a waistband that reads Parterre Fleuri (Ornamental Flower Garden). Pair with a preppy blue oxford, a beige bag and pump, and a gold key pendant necklace to unlock that garden glamour.
