We all know I’m a sucker for versatility. I talk about it
often on my blog. Having so many different things in my wardrobe, I like to
invest in pieces I can not only wear to a variety of different places but also
wear a lot of different ways! Mix and match separates are therefore very high
on my list. I find them easier to swap around than a dress is and teaming them
with different things can create whole new looks. I’ve never owned pieces that
could be regarded as a ‘set’ though. Until I got my first ‘patio’ set from LadyK Loves and its been an incredibly fun experience.
Flowers ~ Black Rose Double from Daisy Jean
Earrings ~ Bamboo Hoops from Ebay
Beads ~ Black Beads from Debstar Designs
Shoes ~ Tiki mauls from Pinup Couture Shoes
Based in the UK, Lady K Loves is a brand I’ve featured before and its one I
absolutely adore. I’ve featured their curve friendly designs before, but this
set truly is one of my favourites. The patio set is a blouse style top and
skirt set, which is worn to create a ‘matching’ separates look. While my colourway
is now out of make for the patio set, Lady K loves have a great V patterned
summer blouse in 3 different colourways that can help create this effortlessly
glamourous look. Both styles of the patio set for some reason make me think of
desert terrain and after quite a bit of searching I finally found the most
amazing backdrop for it!

| Summer Blouse in Abstract Coral (discontinued) |

| Mexican Patio Pattern in Coral |
The Summer Blouse from Lady K Loves is a Mexican Patio style
blouse complete with ribbon and rick rac embodied V design down the shoulders
and across the chest. Now while I don’t have this exact pattern, the style is
the same so let’s talk comfort and fit! Honestly, I adore the Summer Blouse.
Made of 100% organic cotton its comfortable, it breathes well and it can be
worn with a huge variety of outfits. I love the attention to detail Lady K has
gone to with this blouse as well, adding diamonte buttons (the other patterns
have this too) and by stopping the buttons a bit early too it gives you the
option to either tuck it into your skirt or wear it tied like I have for this
shoot. A slight slit on either side at the bottom also allows for a comfortable
hip fit. I’m wearing the large and it fits really well. I feel like this top
would also look amazing with a high waisted shorts or jeans for more casual summer look
too!
The darling skirt is the circle skirt style from Lady K
Loves and it also matches their Patio Set. The Darling skirt is also made of
100% organic cotton and wears very light. Being 100% cotton I find that it can
err on the see-through side, especially if you wear darker colours under the
lighter colourways, but a slip or petticoat easily fixes this. For summer this
skirt was amazing! Being super light and airy it breathed really well in our
super humid weather this past summer season and would be amazing for any gal
who lives somewhere where it gets hot and humid.
The Darling skirt is incredibly comfortable and well
wearing. It features a button and zip closure and it has pockets too! (which as
a girl makes this skirt SUPER exciting!). The darling comes in coral (like I’m
wearing) raspberry, turquoise and black. The three brighter colourways are also
on sale at the moment! I’m wearing the large, which is a bit snug naturally atm
but is fine when I lace into my corset (which in reality is more often than not
now days!). I found the darling runs true to size and one I love having in my
wardrobe, even if the coral colour challenges my styling skills a bit!
Keeping with the desert theme for this look, I wore one of
my newest brooch purchase from Bel Air Baby. Their Prickly Pear Cactus heart brooch was the perfect addition to this look as well as being amazing value at
just $12AU + postage! My other accessories I kept black to tie in with the
pattern in my shirt. A black rose double from Daisy Jean and black beads from
Debstar Designs kept it simple with bamboo hoops for some natural tones to tie
in with my wooden heels.
The Patio set in coral, turquoise
is currently on sale! With the coloured skirts only £36.00/$62Au (Save £9/$15.50AU!) and
the Summer blouse reduced to £34.00/$58.70AU (save £8/$13.80AU!). The blackDarling skirt is also a steal at just £39.00/$37.30! Shipping to Australia is
also only £12.00/$20.70 and has a pretty quick turnaround time too!
