Remix Matching Separates

With fashion constantly evolving and new trends popping out, it's a love hate relationship to be honest. Some trends I'm immediately on board and others have me scratching my head like this. When matching separates started to make it into stores last year, my initial thought was 'alright fashion industry, you are trying to get me to buy something that was once sewed together but now you cut it into two and my wallet will not be fooled!' But then I kept seeing matching separates and really cute printed ones (ahem, hello florals). This light bulb went off right when this set was available on Hautelook and suddenly I saw the potential in separates. I mean a girl is allowed to change her mind, am I right? Or was it just perfect timing? I know you've seen me wear the skirt and top separately and very recently, but I am totally in love with them and now I wanted to show you how easy it is to remix matching separates.

Here are some of my favorite matching separates:

LA Winter

 

Well don't let the sun fool you here, it is actually time to pull out the beanies and boots in LA. Nope, I didn't just put them on because I really wanted to wear these new boots that have been sitting in my closet for over a month now. I really love the look of OTK boots but finding an affordable and flat pair wasn't an easy task. As you can see, I was up for the challenge. And they're about the only thing that's been getting me through the colder temps. Oh and lots of hot chai teas!

Thanks so much for reading! xo

What If

 

What if I told you that I've never owned a pair of converse chucks?
What if I told you that I've never painted my nails black? (seriously, like ever)
What if I told you that I've never shopped at J.Crew and I'm always browsing?
Or that I have no clue how to walk in heels higher than 2.5 inches?
Or that crop tops sound intimating to me?
What I do know is that I'm pretty certain I'll be tackling 3 out of the 5. But if someone wants to come teach me how to walk in high heels let me know;)

Oh and speaking of what I know, I did a fun little collaboration with Sharon of The Tiny Heart showing you two ways to style a leather skirt. I went for a Springy, and depending on your dress code, professional look. I know leather may seem like a fall trend, but pairing it with florals and light colors transitions a leather skirt for Spring. You can see the post here.

Hope you had a great weekend! And that offer about the heels still stands!
