Happy Monday, my friends!
We finally reached temps in the 70s a couple of days ago and I feel alive again! And of course I had to take advantage of the weather and squeeze in a photo shoot. So I’ve never been a huge fan of matching sets whether they’d be pant suits, skirt suits or a skirt set. Depending on the silhouette and style, they can look a little too matchy matchy or a bit like a uniform. I’ve been seeing a surge of skirt sets lately in all shapes and styles and I don’t know if it’s because of the variety of prints, textures or silhouettes, but I find myself paying more attention to them as I have with this Banana Republic skirt set. I love the silhouette of this skirt set and the comfort factor sealed the deal. If you’ve been following me, you know comfort is high on my priority list.
The key to wearing a skirt set without looking like you’ve put on a uniform is accessorize, accessorize, accessorize! Although I love the clean and minimalist look of a monochrome skirt set, I think it’s always fun to add a pop of color via a jacket, bag, jewelry or shoes. For this look, I chose a Forever 21 pink moto jacket, as I’ve been crushing on pink lately, a mint clutch and a necklace with colors from the same pastel family. I’ve got to admit though, the colors of this outfit make me think of ice cream. But who doesn’t like ice cream, right?

You know I am in love with that pink moto! What an amazing find at F21! (Seems like you can always find something great there if you have the patience to dig a little!) Love the pretty, feminine styling here. 🙂

Love this 2-piece set, looks like a soft, feminine dress. The baby pink moto jacket is quite gorgeous also. I am co-hosting a Pastel-themed link-up tomorrow. This would be perfect to link up with me. Thanks.
Love the pastels paired with the crisp white – it doesn’t get anymore perfect for Spring!

That’s exactly how I feel about “sets.” Probably because my mom always likes them, so it’s a rebellion thing? But really they can look like a dress, so I need to get over it! I love how you put the moto jacket with it…beautiful! jodie

I was just in F21 last Friday and if I had seen that pale pink moto jacket, I would have bought it immediately! Love it! I also really love your layered necklaces, they really compliment the jacket and go great with the white skirt set.
