Summer should be the most carefree time of the year, but it also often ends up being the busiest time of year. Between travel plans, social obligations, weddings (and wedding-related events), and so on, summer schedules can quickly turn chaotic. Additionally, each of these events needs an outfit. Let's talk about that.
The great thing about summer outfits is that most of them don't require that many pieces, which usually means that they also don't require much thought and effort. That statement applies to one summer outfit in particular: a matching set. Matching sets have long been a favorite summer outfit for me, as they're basically impossible to mess up and always look cute.
For a little inspiration, I found tons of cute matching-set examples on Instagram. Scroll to see and shop the best ones on the internet (according to me, at least).
This is special enough to wear to a wedding.
A very polished set indeed.
