#OOTD – Pink Tee with Floral Pants

Liliya's floral and pink #ootd

What do you wear in Texas in the middle of summer? Liliya has already given us some great ideas in her last couple of posts (with an adorable pink/yellow tank and “southern belle” look for an evening out).

This time, she shares another awesome #OOTD. Liliya reports that it is “super hot in Texas, but there is usually a big difference between outside and inside temperatures. People use their A/C like crazy, and it seems like Dallas air conditioning has a special ‘Russian nuclear winter’ setting, since it is freezing anywhere you go.”

As a result, “it’s hard to be appropriately dressed for both outside and inside, and people spend little time outdoors – just to get in and out of their cars and into air-conditioned buildings.”

Fortunately, she spent this day poolside with friends and family at her parent’s house, and her outfit was perfect for it. She wore a pair of silk cigarette pants in a floral pattern with a loose-fitting, lightweight tee in pink and bright pink flat sandals.

New Yorker Magazine recently published an article about why millennial women tend to love the color pink. Actually, it’s “25- to 40-year-olds, say, who live in cities, have disposable income, and are artistically inclined”– Check! Check! Check!

Maybe you’ve noticed that pink has taken a totally new aura: it’s no longer Malibu Barbie, but as the article puts it almost a “non-color,” which gives it an aura of sophistication.

I actually recognize the pants from a get-together with Liliya in New York last summer. That’s when I introduced her to Donilee, a photographer and friend who shared amazing photos with us from New York Fashion Week the last time around. Liliya styled the pants adorably, with a long-sleeved denim button-down and matching oxford shoes. This ensemble, however, stands up better to the Texas heat!

I much prefer a pink one though, especially in Liliya’s case – and even more so with those bright pink Alexander McQueen sandals, don’t you?
