Explain to me how pencil skirts work. I'm new to dressing up - so-to-speak. What occasions? Shoes? Tops? Stockings or no?
I'm tiny - size 0. How can I get this style to work with me?

Pencil skirts: how does this style work?

Well, pencil skirts must always be yellow and must always be worn with a pink top and two thin green belts!!! 
I think pencil skirts are very classy and sexy (it's hard to find pieces that conjure both images!) I'm also size 0, sometimes 00 in bottoms. Be sure to find a pencil skirt that fits you well. An ill-fitting or baggy-in-the-wrong places skirt (or anything, for that matter), looks cheap and is unflattering. Pair with pumps and a fitted, collared shirt for a professional, put-together look. You can get pencil skirts in many fabrics and colours, and I think they look good with other types of tops, too, but will always look best worn with some kind of heel. Hope this helps!
How they work?
I'm not sure what you're asking. It's just a particular cut/style. A-line would be wider at the bottom, whereas the pencil skirt is slim and fitted. Either way you just wear it. With or without stockings or shoes...I guess that would just be up to you?

If I am not mistaken, this particular look is the No.2 pencil skirt.
You can wear them with anything you would normally wear a skirt with. Just make sure it is fitted at the bottom or tuck it in. You don't want tops that stand away from the body. Also make sure you wear some type of heel. If you wear it with boots, it makes your leg look thinner to leave an inch or more exposed between the boot and the skirt (even if there are tights there).
I agree with Baglover...Pencil skirts are actually really easy to wear and are a classic cut that always looks good(as long as it fits properly)

rofl, this thread is funny
I'm an AU 6-8 which is a US 2-4 (I think). I usually wear mine very high waisted with balloon sleeved tops, tank tops (casually), pussy bow blouses...actually anything really!! And as far as shoes go, they do look better with a bit of heel, although dressy flats can look okay too.
I love the look, its so classy, but sexy at the same time. I just bought a new black high waisted pencil skirt from kookai and it looks SO hot. It really sucks me in and accentuates my waist.

I love pencil skirts you can really dress them up , you can wear a lot of different tops with them. But as someone else said make sure it and your top fits well and you should be fine.
