I love the matching set trend (or separates or co-ord set...wow there are a lot of different names for this one!...or two! Hah! Get it?! #iamadork). Whether you're getting matchy matchy with a skirt, shorts or pants to coordinate with your top, it's such a fun trend to try. I recommend finding a twin ensemble that shows just a silver of skin at your waist with your bottoms being more conservative (ie full or pencil midi skirt or high waisted shorts or wide leg pants. Nothing too tight or too short). If you want to be fully covered up though, this is still a really great style for you with so many matching combos out there with longer tops. And there are really no rules, you can rock a two piece set that tucks in or maybe it's a boxy top. It doesn't have to be a crop! The good news is, whenever this trend goes out of style (although I think it's here to stay for a while, fingers crossed!), you can always wear these pieces as separates!

When searching for your complete set, I say go for a bold, colorful print to really make this look standout! I call this one my African print which is so different than anything I own but I think that's why I love it so much. At first I thought, am I too white to pull this off?...but then the longer I wore it, the more comfortable I felt and have received so many compliments on this pattern. So ladies, don't be scared to try something new. You just might surprise yourself!

We can all be inspired by Taylor Swift's many matching sets but if you want to see some more co-ord separates that I personally love, check out my Pinterest page for some Fashion Inspiration!
