The Best Denim Pencil Skirt for a Pear Shape Body

Looking for a great denim pencil skirt? This one is a classic, and fits a pear shape body like a dream!Looking for fall outfit ideas? This bell sleeve top is perfect for fall layering!These pictures are deceiving.  I took them on my trip to San Francisco last week….and they look…..like a perfect fall outfit right? The bell sleeve blouse, the velvet booties, the denim pencil skirt? Perfect for fall.  Exactly what I thought when I packed them.  And then it was literally 98 degrees in San Francisco.  I grew up right outside of the city itself (on the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge) and I've NEVER seen heat like that.  In fact, I was saying all summer that we'd get some nice fall weather on our trip up North (ha!).

Luckily, when we head back up in October….it will be perfect fall weather and I can't WAIT!Looking for fall outfit ideas? This bell sleeve top is perfect for fall layering!

The Best Denim Pencil Skirt for a Pear Shape Body

If you follow along on my instagram stories, then this denim pencil skirt is old news to you.  In fact, you guys convinced me to keep it.  It arrived a couple weeks ago in my Trunk Club delivery, and honestly? It fits like a dream.  As you pear shaped ladies know, it's REALLY hard to find pencil skirts that fit us well.  This one? Has the perfect amount of stretch, holds up to a full day of wear, and is a classic wash that will be in style for years (what a win, right?).  It's a little pricey (which is why I was hesitant)….but honestly? I've already worn it a TON and know I'll have it for years.

And my favorite part of this outfit? The fall accessories.  This adorable gold bar necklace has Lydia's initial on it, and it's the perfect everyday piece.  And my adorable burgundy crossbody bag? You'll be seeing a lot of of it this fall.  Isn't it the perfect color for fall?Fall outfit staples? This denim pencil skirt fits a pear shape body perfectly and is super versatile!

Now, if I’m being totally honest…..this pulled Now, if I’m being totally honest…..this pulled muscle? I should have known better.  When training for my race, I didn’t stretch or warm up enough most days and….here we are.Lesson learned.  I’m 4 weeks post race (do not recommend running a 10k on a pulled muscle) and I’m……almost better.  I’m learning to stretch and walk and to take better care of myself so that I can start running again REALLY soon (we’re almost there I think).For now? I’m doing recovery walks and trying to strengthen my leg.  And trying to make sure I get enough protein.  When I talked about Built Bars on my stories, a LOTTTTT of you raced about their Puffs.  Yup, I get it.  They’re AMAZING.  I’ve been bringing them along on my walks (and gluten free friends….they have some great options for us).Have you ever pulled a muscle? What was recovery like for you?#youGOTTAtrythis #BUILTProtein #BUILT #BUILTbar partner
💕Double Tap when you see who we found at the zo 💕Double Tap when you see who we found at the zoo (and swipe to the end for a close up)⠀⠀🌴Coming to San Diego for Spring Break or a Summer Vacation?⠀⠀📍Let’s talk San Diego Zoo (and yes, I got off a plane yesterday, picked up Lydia and we spent the afternoon at the zoo…..it was LOVELY).⠀⠀A few things to help you plan visits to San Diego and the Zoo:⠀1️⃣ the San Diego Zoo and Safari Park are NOT close together.  The Zoo is close to downtown, the Safari Park is about 25 miles north.  I’d suggest one day at each.  They’re totally unique and both worth a visit.  The Safari Park is smaller, but has REALLY unique exhibits (Walkabout Australia is my favorite).⠀2️⃣ both have some really fun and unique dining experiences that you can reserve in advance: Albert’s at the Zoo is a FANCY and fun sit down option, and The Watering Hole at Kijamii Overlook at the Safari Park is great for happy hour or a fun lunch ⠀3️⃣ there are great kids play areas at both locations, the Wildlife Explorers Base Camp area at the San Diego Zoo is brand new and absolutely amazing⠀⠀✨ Now, a bonus tip.  Undercover Tourist now has NATIONWIDE savings on over 500 attractions in 50 cities and up to 25% on tickets for theme parks, zoo, museums, aquariums, city tours, water parks, and movie tickets. And the deals they have for San Diego?  AMAZING (I’m sharing details in my stories).⠀⠀@themeparkfrog #UncoverSavingsNationwide #ad
In high school, I wasn’t supposed to cross the b In high school, I wasn’t supposed to cross the bridge without permission.⠀⠀I grew up about 20 minutes from San Francisco, on the OTHER side of the Golden Gate Bridge.  Yes, you know that opening scene in Full House where they’re driving across the bridge? I was on the other side of that.  And one of MOST parents’ rules where I grew up? No going into the city without permission.  Sorry mom and dad, it’s been long enough…..now I can disclose that we broke that rule constantly.⠀⠀San Francisco is my favorite city.  It’s intimate and moody and filled with history and some of the best food in the world.  It reminds me of childhood trips to the zoo and Golden Gate Park, it reminds me of my first apartment after college and my first serious relationship.  It reminds me of 22 year old carefree nights with friends and milkshakes at Mels in high school and coffee in North Beach and nights in the Marin Headlands (the closest we were supposed to get to the bridge).⠀⠀So when I had the opportunity to spend 20 hours in my city by the Bay? I took it.⠀⠀Photo Diary:⠀1) nothing like a hotel room to yourself ⠀2) basically drove through a monsoon in San Diego yesterday to make it to the airport⠀3) through the fog? You can see the Golden Gate Bridge⠀4) SFO ⠀5) drove right through North Beach where my mom lived until she was 2, and texted her this photo of a church where she remembers going to weddings as a child⠀6) dinner with Dove, talking about the importance of diversity and representation in gaming avatars ⠀7 and 8) anyone else got a roblox fan in their house? Dove is changing the game (pun intended) and we love to see it.⠀⠀Have you been to San Francisco?
