This lace trim pencil skirt has been on my radar ever since I first spotted it – it combines the elegance of a lace hem with all the comforts of a stretchy knit sweater skirt. It can pair simply with a black top, sleek camisole, or leather jacket for a little edge, and based on how you accessorize it could easily transition between work, office event, or date night.

Express is currently running a big promo with up to 50% off everything! (their cutoff to receive orders by December 25th is 10 a.m. on 12/21 if you select 2-day shipping)

Lace Hem Pencil Skirt

In black & emerald, starting in petite xxs

Love that the lace trim detail brings a bit of a festive flare to the classic pencil skirt silhouette. This has a lot of stretch, but I wish I had gone up a size at it is very fitted on my post-babies belly. I got my usual xxs petite but think that the xs petite would be a more flattering and comfortable fit for me. This skirt would also look so cute over a bump and is long enough to accommodate! 

Sale Picks

Sharing a few other pieces I’ve picked up over the past few months that are on sale and well stocked in smaller sizes!

Love these pants and they just came out with a new neutral color that’s fully stocked! They are a mid weight knit twill fabric that’s soft and stretchy against the skin and with a flattering high rise. They look dressy but have the comfort of stretch pants you can easily wear for WFH. They come in both Petite and Short lengths which I get a lot of questions about – both fits are extremely similar (I can wear both) with the Petite being about half to 1 inch longer than the Short.

Express knit ankle pants

These are another pair of pants I reach for often! These are like a ponte “legging pant” and are fully pull-on style with no zipper. They look more casual than the soft twill pants above but can still pass for business casual – see them here as well with a dressier top for a business casual look.

    Is there any rule on matching sweater top and bottom? Prior to seeing this post, i assumed that the sweater stitching on the top and bottom skirt would need to match with exact pattern.

      I don’t abide by most matching rules! It’s black on black which I think offers some flexibility

      Hi Jenny, for something like this skirt, I used the method where I tuck the sweater inside shaper shorts!

    Jean, you mention the difference in the length for the Petite size vs the Short size. But what about the difference in the rise? I don’t want a crotch that’s too long. Thanks.

      Hi Jane, I don’t notice much of a difference at all and I purchase both size types from them regularly!
