Lately all of the runways, Tv, magazines, tumblr pics and even the music industry is saturated wth 90's nostalgia. This would be somehow inspiring if it didn't hit home so hard, and instead of saying "how cool that looks" I just keep on going " yup, been there, done that and bought the tshirt (literally).
It is not so bad, just awkward I guess, because with my 33 years of age I can't possibly pretend to wear the same baby tees, I wore when I was 16 and expect to look like a forever21 or American Apparel model. Instead I would end up getting mocked by Stacy and Clinton on the show "What Not to Wear" and told to dress "age appropiate".
So here I am a 90's survivor trying to enjoy this fashionable dejavu without feeling ancient. The strategy instead is reincorporating some of the things I used to love back in the day to give my outfits that little throwback, but still looking updated and fresh.
This Fall 2015 was filled with looks inspired by what was wore back in the day and I chose my favorite ones being the movie buff and music enthusiast I am, based on a character or musician they remind me of from that decade.
So lets go back to when Mtv had music, Dave Grohl was just a drummer and Captain planet was teaching us how to save the planet, my dear followers welcome to the 90s.
1.THE FAUX LEOPARD COAT
This was perfect for the grungy punk rebel girls like myself and can still be worn as a statement rock n roll piece paired with the right outfit. I has to be Faux not real.
The accesory :" I'm with the band" or better yet "I'm in a band" attitude.
The Icon: Shirley Manson from Garbage and Kate Moss
The Update: The use of ankle booties or Thigh high boots instead of martens or platforms to update the look.
The risk: fishnet stockings
