I just love that color combination. And pencil skirts. With bare legs. As evidenced below.

Comfier Than Pajamas -- Friday, 10/24/14
Seriously, a skirt, top, and cardigan all made from soft knit material can be comfier than pajamas.
I bought this skirt in a big order of knit pencil skirts from Old Navy, and this was the only one I kept. The ridiculous and unacceptable variation in Old Navy's clothing sizing/shaping continues to drive me crazy. But I'm still glad that I found this skirt.
One thing that's weird about it is the waistband. It has a thick band of elastic that the skirt material is sewn onto (it's not elastic encased in fabric, just elastic) that is supposed to then fold down underneath the top of the skirt so that it doesn't show. Does that make sense? The waist is supposed to be two layers -- the elastic that folded down behind, and the knit fabric on the front (on the other side of the fold). But there is nothing to keep the elastic folded down behind the fabric properly so it slides and bulges oddly. Fortunately, it was easy-peasy to just unroll the skirt so the elastic is at the top with the fabric sewn on below it, cut out the tag in the back that is now sticking up over the edge of the elastic, and wear it that way. It's more comfortable, more stable, and gives the skirt that extra 1.5" or so in length that makes it perfect.
