Match Set

I'm loving all these designer lines presented at the big box stores with affordable price points (I'm not going to discuss the Lilly for Target too Cra- Cra!) 

I've always loved Milly but it is definitely something I purchase on sale or for a special occasion. So I was pretty excited to see this Milly line for Kohls. It was inspired by the designer's trip to Capri, Italy and I couldn't wait to get my hands on a few pieces. 

My store didn't carry the full line so I may have to order online but I did bring home this beautiful blue and white matching set.  It's not my typical nature to coordinate to a tee but in this case I'm Matchy-Matchy all the way! The print reminds me of italian porcelain pottery.  It has that 60's vibe but in a modern design.  The cotton sateen finish is polished and comfortable. 

The crop top is shorter but not so short it's inappropriate.  The pant and top meet with a slight overlap - note I'm short waisted and barely 5'2" with my puffy hair. 

So for taller gals or for the office, pair shorter tops with high waisted pencil skirts or trousers.  Try layering a button down underneath. 

I'll be splitting these pieces up pairing each with white, navy, black and gray colors.... maybe even yellow :)

CO-ORD

Look twice as nice in a two piece or 'Co-Ord'! 

Coordinate sets are a top and bottom designed in the same fabric and print.  Matchy-matchy sets make choosing an outfit stress-free, while the ability to mix and match the separates creates opportunity for a variety of outfits.   Embrace DIY dressing and put your own spin on co-ordinating by mixing the pieces with tops and bottoms from your wardrobe. 

I'm really loving the 'twosie' trend. It's a fun spin on suiting but with prints and colors. I do however believe, as a woman over 30, that the two pieces should over lap.  Leave the crop top sets and exposed mid section to the younger gals or for a night out with your gal pals. 

I love this co-ord set for it's textured tweed in a springy peach color.  I plan to pair the top with ivory trousers & white jeans and the skirt with a navy or grey blouse.
