It's official: matching sets are all the rage right now. I remember one matching striped pencil skirt and tank top combo that I had a couple of years ago and LOVED, but it was the only one I can recall wearing. Now, the options are endless, and I am so happy about it! From coordinating blazers and pants, to two-piece denim sets and pretty summer prints, there is a combo to suit each and every style. And the thing I love most about it? The ease of styling them! Once you've found the perfect two piece, all you need to do is pick out a pair of shoes and accessorize.

I've always leaned more towards more feminine styles and silhouettes, that's why I grabbed this midi-skirt and cropped tank combo from Chicwish. It's effortlessly chic and it is such a fun alternative to one of my traditional summer midi dresses. I wore it last weekend to get brunch and cupcakes with some friends at Magnolia Bakery (aka cupcake heaven) but it would also be a great option for a baby or bridal shower.

Who else is loving gingham prints this season? While black is such a classic, I couldn’t resist this sky blue gingham dress from Goodnight Macaroon when I saw it. The light shade is so sweet and soft, plus the ruffled hem and cut-out front make it anything but basic. Oh and let’s talk about the versatility! This is definitely a gingham dress you can wear to BBQ, a baby shower and everything else in between.

Oh and here's a fun dose of reality for you: Minutes after I took this photo, I stepped on a bee on the grass and got stung. I caused a bit of a scene screaming at the top of my lungs outside of the Beverly Hills Hotel and then, the next day, my foot was the size of a balloon. After going to a local urgent care, I discovered that I got a staph infection from the sting- AH! I couldn't really walk for a couple days and it was incredibly painful but I survived. Moral of the story, life is not really as glamorous as the blog photos!
