Matchy-Matchy Yes Please!

T-Shirt, Blazer, Pants – Dynamite

If you’ve never been to Arizona, there are two words that describe it perfectly: dry, heat. Yes, that’s right. There’s zero humidity! Which means that you can literally wear anything in the heat and still feel alright. I seriously felt more comfortable in 45 degree weather with zero humidity than I ever have in 30 degree weather with 50% humidity. I always swear that I’ll never leave the East Coast, but if I do, it’ll be the humidity that does me in.

Before my trip to Arizona, I did a little clothing haul trying to pick out all of the outfits that I would want to pack up and bring with me to the West Coast. After finding out that it would be dry heat everyday, I instantly knew that I wanted to bring my new Dynamite striped set with me. Although I love it to death and would absolutely wear it right now, it’s just a little bit too hot in Toronto for me to be sporting this look out all day. And even though I can absolutely split up the pieces to be worn separately, it only felt right to wear the two pieces for the very first time together—queue the perfect Arizonian weather.

I absolutely wore the set as separates as well, and it also doubled phenomenally as a bikini cover up too! I’m especially a fan of the bikini top trend and these striped trousers serve that purpose perfectly. Because of the length and the silhouette, I never felt overly revealing by just wearing a crop top bikini paired with the pants. The jacket also doubled as a great little duster thrown over top of my swimsuits so I wouldn’t feel too exposed walking from our hotel room to the pool.

I am actually so in love with this stripe set mainly due to the fact that it’ll be one of the few summer pieces that I’ll be able to easily transition over into my fall wardrobe once the weather begins to cool down a bit. When the time comes for all of my shorts and dresses to go into hibernation, this matching set will remain out.

Pro-Tip: for those of you who like to appear taller, the vertical stripes of this set will definitely help to do the trick. The vertical-ness of it will really help to elongate your limbs, and paired together with the right heels, you’ll instantly look like a chic European goddess that just came back from a vacation in the South! And if you want to appear even taller, get your photographer to take you picture while squatting! Trust me, you’ll thank me later! 😉
