Matchy Matchy, Yay Or Nay?

I've massively neglected my blog for the past couple of weeks due to my ridiculous workload and impending deadlines at Uni, I can only apologise to my readers. Less of the boring drivel, let's move onto the good stuff!

So, I've blogged quite a lot about the wedding I'm going to (it's on Monday, so I'll shut up about it after this post, I promise!) but when you're going to church, I always think you have to select your outfit really carefully. It has to be classy and pretty but not show too much cleavage or leg, so not to upset the vicar! 

For men, suits are the go-to outfit for a wedding so I decided to try and follow suit (no pun intended!) and search for a matching blazer and shorts suit. Now, whilst I couldn't find shorts, I did find the cutest matching blazer and puffball skirt on ASOS, so click click and it was on it's way to my house.


I blogged about ordering this outfit here, so you'll find all the details about pricing here too.


I love the idea of a two-piece suit for girls, I think it looks so classic but not many shops, in my opinion, are promoting and selling them well. I scoured the high street before finding this one on ASOS and whilst I absolutely love it, I think the print is so quaint, unfortunately I couldn't keep it for the wedding. The skirt is of a length that's totally acceptable for a Friday night on the tiles but one that would make the vicar blush in church! Also, I'm your average size 10 girl and I got the blazer in that size and it swamped me (you can't tell in this photo as I'm clutching it in at the waist but it was massive, so I'd advise a size smaller).

This hasn't put me off two-piece sets though, I'm still searching for my perfect girl suit!

Are you a fan of the girl suit?

    1. Yeah, I felt it needed something bright thrown into the mix so it wasn't all black and white!
