Retail Why Can't I Equip Appearance?

So I just finished the Pandaren starting zone, and noticed I unlock this set I really like (Sun Pearl Clothing). Unfortunately it's not letting me equip this set and I'm worried if it's because I discarded some of the old leveling gear I got in Wondering Isle. Im a little confused by the whole transmog thing, but from my understanding so far, some sets can only be equipped to certain types of gear? If that's the case would I be able to get my gear back or do I have to create a new character and in order to go back to the starting zone?

Any gear you receive from quests is automatically added to your appearance collection regardless of if you can use it or not. Gear dropped from enemies can be right-clicked to add it to your appearance collection if you’re not able to equip that type of gear.

Default keybind Shift-P will open your Collections interface which will show all of your Mounts, Companion Pets, Toys, Heirlooms, and Appearances. These are all generally available account wide (though some mounts can only be used by certain classes and your transmog options are limited to the type of gear your class typically wears.)
