Matching sets make life easier. You end up looking 110% polished with minimal thought and effort. Take this skirt and crop top set from Elizabeth and James: big payoff for essentially a simple outfit with zero accessorizing requirement (save a pair of Ray-Bans). The eggshell + slate gray combo is really fresh and the bold stripe is perfect for spring and summer. I love how the fitted pencil skirt works against the boxier nature of the crop. Throwing on a pair of neutral leather wedges and a pink lip were the biggest decisions of the outfit; I’ll take it.
Shop the look:
While the set is meant to be worn together, the pieces can easily be broken apart. I’m thinking this crop top with a pair of high-waisted skinny jeans and the pencil skirt with a classic chiffon button-up + blazer.

I LOVE matching separates!! This pattern is gorgeous, and shows off your rockin bod!
I am all about the matching sets! I have seen them a lot in the shorts and tops sets but loving this skirt combo! Elizabeth and James is one of my favs!
This is such a great look – definitely minimalistic but it looks so sophisticated and makes a real statement.

Ok this may be one of my favorite looks you’ve ever done!!! I love that the crop top isn’t too crop and doesn’t show a lot of skin, but together this is a great outfit!!! adore! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston
Oh how cool! I thought this was a dress! I am loving the grey & white stripes (I think I need more of those!) with the cognac wedges. Polished and effortless!

I love the idea of wearing them separately!
It looks lovely on you but how would I pull off something like this on a bigger size? I’m a UK 12 with quite big boobs, and I think I’d just look terrible with that box cut! Jealous! #Allaboutme
Hey there girlfriend, my tip would be to wear a bra that minimized your bust (ie, def not a push-up!) and maybe choose a crop in a solid + dark color. Work a brighter color/print on the bottom half of the look to draw the focus down. 🙂
I love the simplicity of this set you look great!

That combo is incredible!!! I want it!

I am such a fan of matching sets! I have a top and skirt one, but want more! Elizabeth and James is one of my favorite brands, but I can’t afford it sadly. I love the minimal stripes on this!

I’m in love with Elizabeth & James & love the matching separates. The color combo is perfect all year round and I feel like both pieces can be worn together or mixed and matched so easily. You look awesome!

I am dying over this–sometimes two piece sets just look like they fit weird on people to me–but not on you!! This fits like a glove–love the pattern as well 🙂

I like how in the second to last picture your part lines up perfectly with the edge of the house in the background.
I did that on purpose. Yeah. lol
Love this set and those wedges! Why is your foot smaller than mine? I want to steal them!

What an adorable outfit! You look beautiful! I want to do a crop top but am feeling too self conscious about my tummy at the moment. Hopefully all the time I’m logging at the gym will pay off!

I wouldn’t have ever thought to put a matching top and skirt together. But you’re right they look lovely here – and all the better for the minimal accessories. Loving the lipcolour! Thanks for linking up to #AllAboutYou
