“I’m lucky to just linger in your life”
Zara blazer. American Apparel pants. Silence & Noise top via Urban Outfitters. Topshop boots
My apologies for being completely MIA over the past week. I took an unannounced hiatus from blogging and Twitter because sometimes you just need to get away for a bit. But I’m back now and will be visiting your blogs this week to catch up on everything I’ve missed.
The colors pink & blue will always hold a soft spot in my heart because they are my sorority colors. I picked up these salmon color high-waisted pants from American Apparel a few days ago and they are, hands-down, one of my best recent purchases. I can dress them up or down and fell in love with them so much that I also bought a pair in both black and yellow.
Do you have a favorite color combination that you tend to naturally gravitate toward? What color combos are you feeling for summer?

those trousers are amazing! can’t wait to see the yellow pair! i also love those shoes! the colours do look really great together. it’s not something i ever wear but i definitely like it. oh man, i am soo boring when it comes to the colours i normally wear…. grey, black, white, maybe some navy if i’m feeling wild. haha. no, that’s not entirely true. am really like teal/turquoise at the moment and yellow – blue and yellow together is a winning combo. maybe that’s because i’m dreaming about my holiday to sweden…. xx

Thanks Ediot! For some reason, your comments always end up in my spam filter and I remove them and then have to approve them. Not sure why!
Thanks though, and hope you’re having a wonderful week as well! xoxo

lovely color choices!
Jun 01, 2010 @ 20:11:29
I didn’t know AA came out with those pants. They have such a great shape and a crazy vibrant color. The pairing of the pants with the denim top is perfect. It’s unexpected in a great way; the fabrics play off of each other so well.
My default color combination is always black and grey. Haha, not very colorful, but I can’t stay away from it.
Jun 01, 2010 @ 20:51:37
I love the color choices and how you styled the blazer, top and pants. Looking fab, Becs!
Reminds me so much of summer.
And thanks for the lovely comments. Also, I totally relate to the need to step away from blogging every once in a while. I took a break for memorial day weekend and came back recharged!
Jun 01, 2010 @ 22:06:58
Dope pants and jacket for sure. Pleats ftw! I’d like to think I have different color combos for the seasons, but really I end up wearing some form of blue, green, and grey year round. I’m boring.
ps. I wish those were all my magazines-it’s actually a shot from my favorite place in Michigan.
Jun 02, 2010 @ 00:00:58
omg, those trousers are YUM! love the acid washed bustier too.
looking great hun!

You look super pretty in these photos (and in real life of course too). Love the pink lips- they compliment the coral pants nicely. I have to say you definitely can pull off this random collection of pieces and make it into one cohesive look that you totally own. xo, mel

Love those pants! I would have never thought of combining blue boots with them, but it looks great! Hmm, favourite colour combo, that’s difficult. I dress so simply, I like combining different beiges with a deep navy… Wow, that sounds boring. I like your colour combination better.
Jun 02, 2010 @ 09:10:10
Chère Becs, I thik that this silhouette (exquisitely) illustrates a certain “Urban Casual CHIC” idea . . . a fortiori with such a soft chromatic harmony pants / lipstick !!! “KILLing sweetness”, as Always.
ps: Warmly Hope you’re well Dear Friend.
Amicalement, Antoine

First, I just have to say that I want your hair! It always falls perfectly – you are just gorgeous! Second….ah, those trousers are heaven! The color is stunning; and I love the way that it ever so slightly matches the color of your lipstick – so pretty!
I think the color combos I’m feeling this summer are chambrays and cognacs; blush pinks and black; and corals and dark denims!
By the way…yes, yes, yes! I would LOVE to exchange links with you! I have just added Style with Benefits to my links/favorites list!!
Jun 02, 2010 @ 10:45:27

I have a soft spot for pink. I rarely ever buy things that are pink but when I do I get so excited. I love your hair, it so shiny.
Jun 03, 2010 @ 13:10:17
Lurve your color palette, Becs! Those pants are gorgeous.
I’m a big fan of anything blue or turquoise for the summer. I still like pastels and neutrals with neon too.
Jun 03, 2010 @ 16:28:40
the pants are to die for! such a great color.
Jun 03, 2010 @ 17:17:55
Pink and blue look adorable on you, especially because you haven’t done then in an overly saturated-sweet way (like a dress). This look has the Becs edge to it!
I always gravitate towards black and white, but I’ve also been gravitating toward red, white and blue right now… channeling some summer sun, perhaps?

Love the title of this post… I’m happy to be lingering in your life too Becs. Love the mix of the pink and the blues in this ensemble… sweet with an interesting twist. Love the shoes too. xoxo

Leah, you’re too sweet.

your trousers are amaaaazing! as far as color combos, i ALWAYS gravitate towards beige and black but for summer, i’m loving the pink and beige combo!
Jun 13, 2010 @ 08:25:51
