As I’m working on this post, I can’t help but look at myself in these pictures and take a look at how much my style has evolved over the past two years. As a matter of fact, I just finished taking out a lot of clothes from my closet that I know I will no longer wear…like EVER! Nowadays, I like loose fit things. But loose doesn’t always mean baggy, hence why it says “loose-FIT”. This matching set is a perfect example of what I like and even better because it screams out FALL IN LOS ANGELES :)

For all you style lovers, if you kept up with “Spring & Summer Trends”, you know that a very big one were the matching sets. Colorful, playful, sexy and cute! However, I know not everyone felt comfortable or in some cases daring enough to wear one because..
1. The prints & colors were very BOLD!
2. Very baring.
Nonetheless I’m here to say that it’s a new season and I encourage you to give the matchy-matchy look a shot. The colors & prints are a lot less crazy and guess what, most this season consist of sweaters & skirts. Tops & pants or in this case, shorts and oversized tops!
This matching set in particular is the perfect example of how we embrace the fall in Los Angeles. We have to make the best of it and honestly, I’m not complaining. I get the best of both worlds. I can still wear shorts and style myself with fall inspired looks. This set had “AUTUMN” written all over it for me. The tweed look-a-like fabric and color was ideal.
I’ve worn this set countless of times already and every time, it’s a new compliment. Especially for the top. I can’t stop wearing. I really love it because it reminded me of the Tweed-Suits men would wear back in the late 30s. Again, I can’t get enough inspiration from the men, especially those who embrace styles from the old days. Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong era because of how much I obsess with late fashion.
Anyway, back to outfit of the day! To keep the look trendy, I accessorized with my favorite quilted purse and wore this pearl choker that I’m uber in love with. I love how elegantly subtle it is but it makes the perfect statement. The first time I ever came across it, it was worn by one of my absolute favorite fashion bloggers, Adriana Gastelum from Fake-Leather! So I definitely thank her for the inspiration. To complete the look, I initially wanted to wear my booties from Forever 21 but I’d figure you would see me using them all fall so I needed to give you guys a break. I brought these babies out instead! It’s been awhile since their last feature. Well ladies, there you have it. Hope I helped as a little inspiration to give matching sets a chance this season. You’d be surprised of how great they are! You basically have an outfit put together for you. Take advantage! Xx
