View PostYesterday, I attended Shop & Play’s Art Lovers event wearing a gorgeous 2 piece trouser set from Precieux By Chinnie. I thought I already had the 2 piece outfit trend on lockdown after rocking these (convertible denim dress outfit, two piece trouser set outfit, kimono shorts outfit and kimono trouser outfit) back to back.
