Summer has definitely arrived here in NYC. This hot and muggy weather has got me missing chilly San Francisco summers. I know some long-time New Yorkers who make it a habit to leave for more temperate locales this time of year. But I’m stuck here. Time for breezier fabrics!
I had my eye on this midi skirt and the matching bubble hem top from Pact. These were on my summer wardrobe wish list. It’s part of Pact’s Coastal Collection, which is made out of a lightweight double-gauze organic cotton fabric.

In my younger days, I thought matching sets were dorky. But now I love them. It’s an easy way to get dressed and look chic. I appreciate that I can wear each piece separately with other items but can bring them together to create a faux dress.

Since these pieces have a casual vibe, I decided on my Nisolo flatform sandals (reviewed here), which have a simple, slightly sporty form.
I could have gone with simple jewelry as well. But I decided to add a splash of color to my all-black outfit with fun lemon slice earrings. (Get a closer look at them here.) And I rounded out things with my trusty Lo & Sons convertible bag (reviewed here), one of my few non-black bags.
Outfit details: What’s not to love about lemon earrings? Also wearing this emerald ring.
I was worried that the top would be too cropped. But it works well with high-waisted skirts. I’m wearing a size small here, which measures 19″ long and probably sits a little shorter on the body because of the elastic bottom hem.
The skirt is a faux wrap design with an elastic waist.
Did I mention this skirt has pockets?!
I found both pieces petite friendly (unlike this maxi dress, which would likely be too long).
BTW, I have a pair of shorts and tank top made out of this same fabric from a few years back. I decided to buy this set in black so that I could mix and match with the pieces I already owned. The older pieces are a touch darker, though, so it’s not a perfect match. (Probably a result of their manufacturing process. Pact says these fabrics are processed at a lower temperature, which saves water and energy, but results in variations in saturation.) But it’s good enough.

This is an outfit I think I’ll be wearing on repeat this summer. Even though I feel disgusting from the heat and humidity, I also feel cute and pulled together in this matching set.
