Why You Need A Matching Set for Summer

I’m not going to lie.  I can be really picky when it comes to shopping for clothes.  Correction… I am really picky when shopping for clothes.  With the exception of a golden few, regardless of type or style, I get extremely critical about a piece before purchasing or adding to cart online.  And for some reason, while browsing matching sets for summer, I was even more critical than normal.  Which made the search near impossible.  Until I found this printed pink set.

Why matching sets for summer?

Besides the fact that I’ve been crushing on this trend for more than a year, I’m all about ease and comfort when the temperatures get hot.  Speaking of hot, we’ve had quite the heat wave here in Iowa.  I feel like you can see my distaste on my face in these pictures.  Over 90 degrees and humid is far from my ideal weather.  But, if the weather keeps up like this, I at least have this easy matching set to conquer wardrobe woes.  My summer style can get pretty boring because I’m always focused on staying cool.  So when an outfit can be cute all while keeping me happy, I’m all over it.

Back to this printed pink set that bounced off the web page at me.  I wanted something specific, yet I couldn’t narrow my search.  Then, while browsing Zara, I stumbled upon this top and shorts combo and couldn’t resist.  The color isn’t common in my current selection, I love the tee vs a tank and the jacquard fabric makes the set unique.  I’ve linked the exact set from Zara here, but there are so many good options out there, I linked more in the widget below.  I’m planning to bust this set out for outdoor concerts, a late summer night out and maybe even brunch.  I think a matching set can be super versatile, even having the option to wear the pieces separately.
