So, you bought that great co-ords two piece
set in the summer time and now it's getting chilly. What to do?
I suppose you could fold it up and put it away until next year. That's one option, but I think it's better to
wear your favorite clothes year round and two piece co-ords sets let you
absolutely get way more styling options.
FemmeLuxe has some wonderful Tops and Party dresses like the one featured in yesterday's post which you can see
here. In addition they also have some
great co-ords sets. I chose this nullLime Crop Top & Belted Mini Skirt Co-Ords Set- Tani for it's versatility and that lovely lime color. I started styling it the minute I saw it.
I love lime; I don't think I have enough of
it in my wardrobe. Lime goes with so
many colors while providing that pop of color that turns heads. I know it doesn't exactly fall into the fall
colors category, but I think it looks really wonderful set against the backdrop
of the oranges and golds of the maple leaves and it works well in so many color
combos it's a great addition to your style palette. I'm so excited to bring you a few outfits
with it today and rest assured more are sure to follow.
Before we dive into the outfit variations,
let's start with the basic Tani set.
The great things about a co-ords set is that you get a perfectly
coordinated look (hence the name “co-ords”), they also give you options for
mixing and matching with other pieces and creating lots of styles and all for
around the same price as many single pieces run.
This Tani set comes with a crop top that
has a zipper down the back, a mini skirt with zipper down the front, and an
adjustable black belt. The fabric has
some stretch to it and a brilliant lime color.
The zipper both fully zip down and unhook, so you don't have to wiggle
into them. Comfort is key with this cute
little set.
To add that vintage flare, I styled it with
black buckle peep toe heels, double layer pearl strands, and cat-eye
sunglasses. My Coat from FemmeLuxe
finishes this first look.
For the second outfit, I switched the crop
top for a drapey navy blue top. I kept
the pearls and red lips, but added t-strap heels in matching navy blue and
switched my camel coat for a brown tweed pea coat. Wearing the outfit as-is it is perfect for a
special event or an evening out. For an
office appropriate look, this outfit all you need to add is a fitted blazer
cropped right at the waist or just an inch or two below.
Outfit number three pairs color and
print. This bright lime makes a
statement and a top that's too basic really takes away from that
statement. That's why I chose a
snakeskin print top. The print is still
comprised of neutrals, so it doesn't clash with the skirt. Instead the skirt remains center stage, but
the top gives it outfit an extra dash of panache. The top is a bodysuit so it's form fitting
and creates a sleek shape.
Accessorizing this outfit was super
easy. I already have the color pop from
the skirt and the print from the top, so kept everything else neutral colors
like the camel of the coat and the black heels and white pearls, but I added
some texture with the folds of the wool duster coat. I also switched the pearls to a single layer
strand since the top has a mock turtle neck that wouldn't have looked well with
the choker style double strand of pearls from the second outfit.
