When I was in London last summer, I was totally enamored of all the throwback style: big tee-shirts paired with leggings, floral print denim, jelly shoes. It reminded me of my childhood (brilliant marketing technique, btw: make the consuming generation nostalgic and they will buy anything. Just to illustrate, if I came across a tee-shirt with Pretty Pretty Princess, Pogs, Tamagotchis, GigaPets, or Littlest Pet Shops on the front I would buy it without even thinking.)
It's taken the good US of A a year to catch up to London (-expected-), but I'm finally seeing all the throwback styles here as well. So here's to a summer of early 90s childhood swag!
Other awesome 90s trends I loved:
playsuits (we called them jumpers) boys parting their hair down the middle+bowlcuts+bleached ankle socks--the kind that fold over neon windbreakers adidas track jackets slap bracelets stick-on earrings stuff with yellow smiley faces on it stuff with yin-yangs on it mood rings lace-up boots fishtail braids and rope braids ...
Nostalgic sigh. I vote we bring back all of the above. Particularly the bowlcuts and bleached hair.
