There's something about the combination of pink and red (in the right tones) that can seed you from the Christmas festivities right into Valentine's Day season. Case in point, these side-striped pants from Universal Standard. Here I'm wearing them with a basic black cardi, white sneakers, and a graphic tee with the complimentary shades of pink and red. It helps the t-shirt is also from Universal. The pink bag and aubergine coat fit seamlessly into this color story. coat & necklace -- Nordstrom , t-shirt & trousers -- Universal Standard , cardi -- Banana Republic Factory , sneakers -- H&M , bag -- Coach I first featured this t-shirt in this " Back to Work " post. It's a collaboration between Universal Standard and illustrator Marylou Faure. I'll be deploying this trouser-and-tee combo (with various cardigan options) here for the rest of February, embracing the V-Day tone of it all.
