I'm going to a wedding this weekend, and though I'll be working, when I came across this picture, I fell in love with the idea of a pant suit / set as an alternative outfit choice for a wedding guest. Think of how awesome it would feel to be completely comfortable all night, and still be able to pull off lookin' fancy. I'm sure the above set costs more than the contents of my closet combined, so here's my take on the look:

top // pants // shoes // necklace // necklace

The key to making this work look is having the same color palette for both the top and bottom piece, so it looks more like a set. Patterns do not need to match, in fact, I'm kind of loving the clash here. Pants could be jacquard style, cropped trousers or skinny. Top should be boxy and silky. Fold in a pop of color on your feet or your lips, and accessorize to your liking - how perfect is that turquoise for summer??

Would you try this look?
