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!

It's so sweet how you and your hubby match! Love your gorgeous suit! The color is so pretty!
Can't believe those pieces are unmatched separates - they definitely do look like a matched suit! Love this shade of pink on you.
Such a pretty color for a suit and I love the slim lines!
