Continuing with my search for Coral/Apricot/Somewhere Between Pink and Orange shades...



Alexander Wang dress from eLuxury. $485. I'm sure it fits and drapes beautifully with the viscose/nylon/elastane blend, but I don't think I'd be missing much if I went with a $30 American Apparel dress. AA doesn't have a dress in that great shade, though. They do have this cute skirt:



I wish it was a more subdued "Salmon" color, as they call it, but repeated washing and drying will probably fade it to my liking. The obvious caveat is that it's only 15 inches of flared denim. I imagine my bare thighs sticking to the seat of my chair on hot summer days because I can't tuck the fabric under my butt.



It's technically pink, but I like backpacks. And it converts to a purse for those occasions I don't want to look like I just got out of class. It's from UO.



Only chambray can create the soft blue drape that goes well with Coral/Apricot/Salmon/Somewhere Between Pink and Orange. This pant is from Pixie Market.

I shall finish things with another random Pencey find. Pretty!

Penchant for Pencey

So I'm really into that Coral/Apricot/Somewhere Between Pink and Orange shade. I blame the unseasonable high range of 50F - 60F we've had this week that makes me hunt down colors I usually won't give a second look. Check it. Flowy, silky, summery and tailored romper by a NY based brand I just discovered called Pencey:



It's cute but not too precious. I'm not a fan of the booties, but another cream-colored architectural shoe or ankle boot would be lovely. Delicate gold chains and a light breeze would also be good accessories.

This color below is called "Ocean," but I think it's really a Baby Blue in a darker, dustier hue. It's another Pencey find and would look great with a sheer coral-colored tee.



I was initially repulsed by this crust punk detail on a pair of $241 shorts, but I dunno...it's kind of...pretty!



Both are from Shopbop, but the Pencey website has lookbooks with many covet-able pieces.
