ALERT THE PRESSES! It’s official y’all, the J.Crew No. 2 Pencil Skirt in double serge cotton is just as amazing as its cozier cousin, the No. 2 Pencil skirt in double serge wool.
I have to admit I didn’t think I would love the double serge cotton skirt as much as the wool—but I love it as much as the wool (and maybe more, at this point, since it’s in the 90’s here).
Ladies—this skirt is a must-have. I don’t know how many times I can say it, but it’s really the one skirt you can buy in every color (and print!) and not feel guilty about it.
Right now, several styles are on sale. I scored this gorgeous one, in “succulent green” for $59.99 in store last week.
Skirt- J.Crew (buy it here, some colors on sale!)
Necklace- Regina Pierallini
Shoes- Ivanka Trump
Purse- Kate Spade
Do you own this skirt? If so, share your love for it below. A note on sizing, my wool skirts are a size two and this one is a four. I went up because although the 2 fit, it was a little too snug for my liking.

Marrakech Purple, Casablanca Blue, and Warm Jade are $39.99 in stores (they're more expensive online)! If you can't find your size, ask a sales associate to call the "find it now" service to find your size in another store. You'll have to pay shipping, but it's still an awesome deal on a great skirt.
I wore my purple skirt with a black top and awesome turquoise statement necklace recently, and I have so many plans for other great, colorful outfits with this skirt.

I just bought one in the poppy color at the j.crew factory outlet – I LOVE IT. Now I need a nice, crisp white shirt! 🙂
Lilly says
I have one in Jade Green and love it. I wouldn't mind another color, maybe neon pink.
It looks great the way you styled it.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Love the green! I was thinking about buying the skirt because I love the wool one so much but couldn't decide on a color. I'd also be curious to see end of day pics to see if it wrinkles because Kendi's skirt (https://www.kendieveryday.com/2012/04/dress-code.html) was one wrinkled mess.

I do like that skirt. The second picture is definitely my style. I may have to go shopping, lol.
Stephani says
I just got it in neon pink, black, and royal violet. I think I'm going to return the neon, but love the skirt!
M.Kitty says
Heads up everyone…yesterday, several colors were marked down to 34.99 in store- Neon pink, succulent green, royal violet, etc…

Would you mind posting a picture of the back? I have the paisley print from winter/fall and also an emerald green I recently got on sale. I love the front fit, length and the fact that it holds it's shape well; but sometimes I feel self-conscious that the pockets sit too high on me in the back. Overall though, I do love the skirt! Thanks!

sorry I didn't take photos of the back but they are availalbe on the j.crew website 🙂 I haven't had issues with the back pockets.

Gosh, I can't wait to lose these last few pounds of baby weight (I feel like every comment I leave you I'm like "Gah, I need that – and I want to buy it as soon as this darn baby weight is gone!"). Haha… so I'm sorry if I sound like a broken record! I adore those No. 2 pencil skirts!
Lia says

It's not ideal for me to wear skirts to work, so I won't be getting these.. But it looks so good!! I wish I worked in an office! Any recommendations for work wear for teachers? I'm moving about all day so I can't wear heels and I also need to be active as I teach all subjects ( including p.e.)
Please help!
Sincerely,
Want to be stylish And comfy.
