I just wanted to share a
link
with you all. It helps reveal why I love/miss the 90's so much. The
style was easy and so wrapped up in nonchalance and comfort that by
today's standards it seems sloppy. Nowadays I see immaculate style on
girls who are quick to calculate an outfit, so much so I'd say it's
become rather formulaic. We've seen this girl or some version thereof a
thousand times:

What
I really miss is the slap-dashness of the 90's. I miss the plaid
baby-doll dresses with DocMartens, vests, boxy blazers, jeans worn up to
your nose, mismatched pieces, and the overall feeling of not caring
(too much) about what you're wearing:

The
good news, it seems the 90s are slowly but surely still making their way
into the mainstream, mostly because with all things in fashion, give it
20 years and it will eventually come back as "new". That and Pearl Jam is celebrating the
20 year anniversary release of their monumental album "Ten" this month.
We should remember that music and the street were the engines that
drove fashion back then and personally, I'm hungry to feel that kind of
connection once more...
