Ways to Wear Matching Sets

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

It should come as no surprise to learn that I love matching sets. I am all about versatility. Pieces that are easy to wear multiple ways? Too perfect!

As Is

The easiest outfit ever, is to wear a matching set as it is. If I’m not sure what to wear, I know that outside of a jumpsuit, a matching set is my safest bet. This Free People set is currently trending—

The other set I reach for often is this Cynthia Rowley set—

Switch The Top Out

Regardless of the type of set, I’m a huge fan of swapping out the top for a bodysuit. Skirts, pants, you name it, I style it with a bodysuit. And if not a bodysuit, it’s usually a basic or graphic tee, but you have options. Tons of them!

Wear It With Different Bottoms

As for the bottoms, I’m not opposed to switching those out as well. Jeans are typically my go to for this, but again there are tons of options.

Add Something To It

Given that I life in New England and the weather here is usually cold, I often add layers to my matching sets. Typically a jacket, be it denim or otherwise that I can easily fit under a coat in the winter, or take off in the summer.

If you don’t know what to wear, you can always follow me on Instagram, or go with a matching set. I also love one styled with a puffer vest!

How do you feel about matching sets?

Free People Favorites

Sharing my Free People favorites because no matter what fashion trends come and go, my personal style will always be just a little bit boho. And seeing as how Free People was my best selling brand of 2022, I’d say you probably have some of their pieces that you love as well!

Long Ruby

My Long Ruby shirt jacket is one of the things I reach for most, especially during those tricky transitional months. It’s hard to come by now, but I did find it here and there’s a shorter version as well.

Skyline Midi Skirt

I’m guilty of buying the same thing in multiple colors. The Skyline Midi Skirt is probably the one thing I own in not two, not three, but four different colors! And to be completely honest, I might even get one or two more.

Tapered Baggy Boyfriend

Jeans are my jam, so naturally, I had to include one pair of We the Free jeans and finding this pair on sale and under $100 is just too good not to share!

Ottoman Slouchy Tunic

My favorite piece by far, is the Ottoman Slouchy Tunic. It’s so versatile! I’ve worn it with jeans, leggings, skirts, you name it. It can even be worn as a dress with over-the-knee boots!

Lennox Jumpsuit

Who doesn’t love a compliment? I have yet to wear the Lennox Jumpsuit and not receive several polite comments or requests for where I got it.

Don’t be at all surprised if there’s a part two to this post! What are some of your favorites from Free People?

In addition to my Free People favorites, I recently added some new pieces to my closet that I’m looking forward to styling and sharing with you over the next few weeks or so. I’ve also included a few that are on my running wishlist, you can shop them and this post here—

Nordstrom Summer Style

Disclaimer: This post is in partnership with Nordstrom and ShopStyle, and contains affiliate links.

Summer may look a little different this year, but trust me when I say that it is far from cancelled.

So many people prefer fall to summer, especially when it comes to fashion. I personally, have always been and will probably always be team summer. Don’t get me wrong, I love fall fashion, but summer style has a very special irreplaceable spot in my heart.

Which is why I’m elated to share that I’m partnering with Nordstrom and ShopStyle again! This time to share my Nordstrom summer style picks.

Growing up, I didn’t have the most positive self image. So, it makes me happy to have found not only my voice, but some much needed self love. That’s probably why I love summer style so much, it allows me a chance to show off my body, on my terms.

I love that Nordstrom carries Free People since the sense of whimsy the label carries embodies the sense of casual whimsy that I enjoy about summer. This bodysuit is the color of the sun and features a deep plunge, which I am all about!

Not styling this look with a good distressed pair of denim shorts, would be insane to me. These are too perfect and the fact that they are not only under $100, but also come in several different colors makes them the ideal piece for any summer wardrobe.

As for the shoes, Free People makes the softest leather sandals and shoes. I own at least four pairs and was just ecstatic to find these and these similar ones!

Don’t even get me started on the Nordstrom jewelry collection… I love Madewell and Gorjana for earrings and necklaces, and Nordstrom has both.

I know this is a style post, but I figured it couldn’t hurt to share that all the makeup I’m wearing is available at Nordstrom too, so I’ll also make sure to link to what I used!

Oh, and in case you missed it in my last post, Nordstrom has free shipping and returns as well as curbside pickup and The Nordy Club, with which you earn points for every dollar you spend and get exclusive access.

Fossil Crossbody Bag + Free People Top

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Top: Free People | Jeans: DL1961 | Shoes: Primark | Purse: Fossil

While I do typically useRent the Runway for dresses most of the time, that is not all that they have.

When I came across this Free People top, I though it looked unique in a way that piqued my intrigue.

Despite the fact that I was actually getting ready to cancel my Rent the Runway Unlimited subscription, and only rent something when I really needed, I figured just one more time wouldn’t hurt! Besides, it really goes with the vibe of the crossbody bag that I got from Fossil.

Although, the style of the Fossil crossbody bag isn’t exactly my choice for everyday, it’s definitely a nice piece to use from time to time.

Add the shoes that Gabby of First & Warren said I had to get during one of our Primark excursions and the DL1961 jeans that I’ve been wearing quite frequently, and you have a chic yet minimalistic look with a whole lot of style!
