Well Suited

Hello, and thanks for stopping by my blog!

The suiting trend has been a very popular one,

 really picking up stream during the past fall and winter season

The spring arrivals are showing a lot of suiting pieces too,

in softer colors, prints and denim as well

I am glad to see this classic and timeless look

staying in the spotlight with lots of variations,

so everyone can participate if they choose!

Are you a fan of the suiting trend?

This week I have an outfit with a matching suit

I talked about the suiting trend last month 

in a post called Trail Blazer, where I styled unmatched suiting pieces

I wore a solid short jacket

 with a printed midi length skirt for one of those outfits,

and a color block look with a longer blazer

 and a short skirt for the other one

For this post, I choose a two piece matching

jacket and ankle cropped trousers

Well, this looks like a matching suit, but it was not purchased together

or even from the same brand or shop

I am amazed that the pieces could pass for a matched set!

They were bought as separates

 to go with different items in my wardrobe

At the time, I thought these two pieces would be 

too close in color to look right together,

 but to far apart to look like a suit

So this extra outfit is a nice surprise!

Wearing a mauve tab sleeve long blazer worn over an ivory

 silk sleeveless button front blouse with mauve ankle cropped trousers

The pants have a vertical stripe down the the outside of the leg

It could be interpreted as a tuxedo stripe or an leisure wear stripe-

a clever detail to dress them up or down

For jewelry I chose a cuff bracelet with oval natural fossil stones,

 silver tone disc earrings and a very special handmade beaded necklace

I purchased this three strand necklace from a pop-up shop, 

where all of the items in the shop were handmade by the owner

 The beads are different shades of Peruvian mountain opals

Carrying my 60's look curved handle bag

Wearing nude pointed toe sling backs to complete the outfit

Roger and I harmonizing in muted shades of blue, grey and mauve

His solar system necktie has mauve in the planetary print 

Here is another wearing of this jacket, last spring

We are finally getting some happy spring color in the garden-

the first Daffodils!

Hope everyone enjoys their week!
