So it appears to me that if you kept your stuff from the late 1980s early 1990s, you will be all set.  Just a little snark there but of course the 2014 stuff is more updated. I am not a fashionista by any means, but I have noticed a few things. Those booties; granny boots, ankle boots and with a chunkier heal. Denim minis skirts, denim on denim, plaid minis, high waisted jeans. I have even spotted a few plaid flannels, shaker knit type sweater, and even a jean jacket with a white t and a floral skirt. I promise myself I will not be sporting the denim with denim look. That was fine the first time around. lol. |

I swear I just got rid of all that last year (not that I was wearing it mind you, I just still had it in the house).
I'm happy about the high waisted jeans because those have always fit me better. I like jean jackets so I'm good with that.

Yes, I was surprised the other day to see a girl in a navy floral babydoll dress. I thought that was just straight out of the 90s.

Fall here is going to be a lot of quite androgynous styles. I can see trouser suits being back by winter or next year.
Also lots of sunray pleats on midi skirts, plaid slim trousers, etc.
I'm loving this style - have already spent a small fortune in the last few weeks, between needing a revamp because I lost a bit of weight and finding so many things I actually love.

I saw women on GMA trying to promote culottes. They were talking about how cute they were and there's a "Style for everyone!" I can't handle even the thought of those. I can't forget how tightly my mother held on to the culottes trend the first time around. She loved those suckers. When I went away for college my mother wanted to help me out by sewing me a bunch of pairs so I could wear them to class. I did a bit, but only because they were the only thing I had. It was '92 and they had been out for a couple of years. It didn't help that she used an old lady styled pattern and stiff twill to make them with an elastic waist (ugh!) and they were the most unflattering pants EVER. There were a lot of awesome fashions in the 90s though. Remember this is the decade of the twin set. I adore cardigans.  |

I was surprised to see overalls in the girls section at Target the other day. Please, no.

My mom always told me that fashion trends come back every 20-25 years. She kept everything that still fit her. lol I actually gave a plaid skirt of mine from the 90's to one of my daughters. She loves it. Some styles just shouldn't come back. I'm not really a fan of jumpsuits or rompers for women.

They did some wild 70's stuff awhile ago so why not. And it will go with the trend in pop music to slightly rearrange 80's melodies and mash them together in a new song. |
