Pencil Dress — Collared Belted Mixed Media by Donna Karan New York

The definition of effortless power dressing: this Pencil Dress from Donna Karan New York looks like a perfectly styled two-piece, but it’s one seamless, foolproof garment. The top half is a crisp collared surplice shirt in soft cream cotton-stretch, tucked into a sharp black pencil skirt that skims to the knee. Between them, a faux-leather belt with polished gold-tone hardware sculpts the waist. It’s the kind of dress you reach for when you need to look impeccable — without thinking twice.
