i was especially busy this weekend shooting street style at the outside lands festival, but before all the madness began, this is one of the outfits i wore to go out for breakfast with the boy. and i’m wearing pink pants! they make me feel like beck from his album midnight vultures. an awesome album, for sure, but when you open the cd there is a glorious photo of beck in a pair of bright pink pants that made my teenage heart melt. so when j brand recently contacted me and asked if i’d like to pick a pair of jeans from their haute hues collection, you had better bet i went straight for the 811 in fuchsia!
when i first got them in the mail, i was a little uncertain if i’d be able to pull off such a bright pair of pants, but i’ve actually already worn them several times. the go to outfit usually includes a breton stripe shirt, simple pumps, and a pair of cat eye glasses. but today i thought i’d add a bit more color with this mustard cardigan, and i anchored it together with a cream shirt and simple brown accessories. definitely an eye catching color combination that’s fun to wear on a sunny afternoon.
shirt: thrifted vintage silk blouse

Gotta tell u – Im loving every little thing about this outfit. Hot pick, muted cardy and amazing round tourtoise shell shades. epic. ck :) x
Perfect on you! Girl crush!
Has to be one of my favorite outfits.
OMGEE. One of my fav looks. The colors here are amazing, fun and FRESH! xo, Kim http://www.eatsleepwear.com
I LOVE this – I always love your vintage looks, but it’s fun to see you in something more ‘modern’ every now an again too. I love this bold color combination, and the cream blouse is just the perfect piece to tie it all together. I’m definitely going to be on the lookout for some bright pants this weekend – I’m hoping to find some bright coral or red jeans, but we’ll see what the thrifting gods have to offer. :)
Ahhh. Those pants are killer. And the mustard yellow with them, plus the basic collared shirt…color blocking at its best. Love it!
Oh my, you look painfully cute in those pants!! I love that you chose a more muted color cardigan to go with them. And that background is awesome!
this outfit is divine! so many amazing colours! :D
lovely outfit!

Too cute! Love the Color Contrast!
those pants look lovely on you! I have never even considered such bright bottoms, but you make them seem so effortlessly chic that I don’t even notice the color of the pants so much as the greatness of the overall look.
The clash of colours is stunning, and your glasses are literally my idea of a perfect pair of sunglasses x
This outfit is perfect! love the blouse buttoned all the way up in neutral to tone down the electric pink! so cute!
Oh I love the mural you’re standing in front of! The colorful outfit just seems to fit!

Really nice this pant!
These pants are amazing, as is that wall you’re in front of! And oh man you have just made me remember my love for Beck, and I think I’m going to go listen to him right now.
you have done it again :) the pants look amazing with the color of the cardi. i love this outfit, one of my favs but i say that every time!

Oh you look so cute. The colors go so well together.
you look grevt, I looove those pants and the whole outfit :)
<3Meghan
Wow wee, you look fab !!
I love that color. I tried on some similar looking ones in wool from J.Crew. The color was cute, and spot on with the pair you are wearing, but I think I’d like denim more than wool. Great choice with the mustard and the blouse!
LOVE these colors together! I’ve been doing some freelance copywriting for J Brand lately, so I was excited to see you wearing a pair of their jeans =D They look great on you!
oh my god i LOVE this. love love love. the colors are better than perfect together. BETTER!
I love those pants=)
Wow! srsly one of my favorite outfits i’ve seen on you!

Love the color blocking. Those pants, the sharp collar on your blouse, the mustard yellow… swoon!

i very nearly bought pink pants the other day and left them after careful thought. now, i wish i hadn’t.
Insanely in lust with everything about this outfit! The pink pants knock my socks off! You look amazing!
Erin, you’re making me want to rush out and buy some hot pink pants. This is a problem because I’m 99% sure that they’d never look as cute on me as they do on you. Thanks for helping me consider new fashion possibilities!
I really like this new look! It’s different than what you normally post.
those are my kind of pants!
your adorable x
Nothing to add except, yes, this rocks.
MAN OH MAN! I absolutely LOVE this!!! I need to get me somma those pants! I am always wanting to add a pop of color to my outfit but feel like I can’t pull it off. You do it so well! I love the color combinations here. Just everything about this! One of my favourite posts of yours in a while (well, I love everything you wear but this is awesome!) So so good! <3
Love it! I’ve owned several pairs of pink jeans, although unfortunately I’ve grown out of my favorite pair. I think I’ll have to hunt some down for next winter now :)
Coloured denim is so fun.
What a colour explosion!
Such a nice surprise to open this link when the trend lately has been pastels, whites, pretties and simples.
While those are all lovely, of course, sometimes you just need a punch-in-the-face of bright colour.
Thank you!
That’s just too perfect! I love the color combination :)
hurro, i’ve never commented before but this outfit definitely deserves one. love it.
i think this is my favorite outfit of your ever! i like you in pants. :) and that blouse is amazing! i can’t believe you found it at a thrift store! i’m so jealous

it’s just a little parking alcove behind some businesses near my house. it’s very hidden away, but i live right by it, so we pass by all the time.
This is my favourite outfit of yours ever ever ever! I want to recreate the entire thing. You look amazing. I love all the colours together and the whole look. Wow.

It’s so unusual to see you wearing pants! :) They look perfect! And I really love colors here too! Pink and mustard looks so good together!
This color combination is fabulous! I love mustard and pink!
Such a cute outfit, would never of thought about wearing pink and mustard together but they go well. x
You look marvelous in blocks of color! Wonderful.

Yes! You can definitely pull off those pants. And with such a neutral top, it doesn’t look odd at all. I think they’re pretty amazingly honestly.
Your pants are amazing! Love how vibrant they are. I would never have thought to pair mustard yellow with such a bold neon but the combination totally works.
Woah. This is my kind of outfit. I LOVE pink jeans! You look adorable and my red jeans want to hang out with your pink ones.
Very unexpected! Quite love it though…way to go bold or go home.
Love the pink jeans! ;)

This is by far one of my favorite looks. You should really wear bright colors more often, everything just pops so well!
Amazing color mix!
Mustard and hot pink – who knew! I love mustard – mustard & teal, mustard & purple, mustard & turquoise but I think your combination beats them all, I love it!
OH MY GOODNESS! I am in LOVE with your outfit! I love it so much. Thank you for sharing this, it is very inspiring!

You look amazing in this outfit!
The best way to carry off a bright colored bottom like fuchsia is to team it up with a subdued top. For me, I would call it absolutely fresh and lively, perfect for a proper vintage look. The bold combination looks lovely with the painted background depicting an open river-side restaurant.
