Freida Pinto was in London at a photocall for her film, Miral, at the London Film Festival  She looked very ladylike in a pencil skirt and sheer blouse.  She jazzed it up a bit with some funky shoes.

The ladylike looks were very big in all the September Fall Fashion magazines, so she’s right on trend.  You can get a similar look with this gathered neck sheer blouse from Malene Birger, Stephane Modern Snake Blouse, $188.10.

J. Crew has a lot of pencil skirts.  This one, the Double Serge Pencil Skirt, $98 would look nice.

To make the look more interesting like Freida did, add a shoe that’s got a bit more pizzazz than your standard pump.  These suede platform heels would be great!  J. Crew Love-me-knot Suede Plaform Heels, $265.  They’ve got a 4-1/8″ heel and are made in Italy.
