There is a trend going around the internet that picks something that you were once ‘color blind’ to but you went hard into because you couldn’t see it for what it was. For instance — too thick eyebrows (guilty), sunless tanner (guilty again), an unnecessary belt (also guilty). Well I’d like to add one to the pile that I feel like we are all going to feel some heat over: the colored skinny jeans of the 10s. My friends, please don’t make me pull out evidence of this because it hurts me. Archival rummaging hits on a different level for me because I have 15 years of outfits I thought were SO good that I posted them to the internet and sometimes I was wrong. I would say the 20 colors of the skinny jeans I purchased for the span of 2-3 years was a misstep. And I don’t even know if it was the trend in general or just how hard I bought into it, but I’m forever scarred by the Target colored skinny jeans for $20. So much so that when I find a pair of colored pants that I like, I have to ask myself if I’m falling down a rabbit hole from 2010.
In fact, as I was prepping this post I recognized that these are in fact colored jeans. Now they are wide leg, which I do think one day we will look back on (again) and say ‘why’ but for now I like them. In fact I really like this pair of jeans, and I highly recommend them. But behold, they are pink. And I had to check myself to see if this was a relapse or if it’s just a really cute pair of denim. (It’s the latter option, thank god.)
What I like the most about this pair is that they’re soft and super comfortable to wear. The pink hue is just secondary because I like how they fit so much. I am in the 29 or 8 from Zara, fit is perfect. Slightly relaxed, and they lay a little low on the hips. You can find them for under $50 here!
I also love this top from Zara too. But I popped a button because I pulled it on over my head without un-buttoning it. And sure enough – POP. So the shirt is a bit low-cut here but that’s not by choice. It’s by fault. I am in the medium, fit is perfect. (However buttons WILL fall off if you choose to be reckless.)
