{Style Panel} My So-Called Outfit...

 

I love all things ’90s, from flannel and Doc Martens to poof pens and Pop-up Video. Growing up during this time, I experimented with everything from overalls and dark lip liner, to argyle mini skirts and baby doll tees that had Cher Horowitz written all over them. Fast forward a few years, and I still find traces of the decade creeping into my life via fashion, music and film.

Take this dress for instance; the vibrant tribal print conjures up images of Saved By The Bell (which I'm currently rewatching on Netflix!) or Fresh Prince of Bel Air characters, while the booties, leather jacket and slouchy beanie pay homage to the grungier side of the spectrum (of which I’m sure Angela Chase would approve). Whether you like it or not, elements from this — oh let’s go ahead and call it magical — decade are probably creeping into your wardrobes as well, so you may as well embrace the resurgence and work it. Anything from lace up booties and oversized plaid shirts is fair game, with jeweled hair clips (omg, remember those?!) and dark, neutral lips all vying for your attention. I guess what they say is true: You can take the girl out of the ’90s, but you can’t take the ’90s out of the girl. xx

Tribal...

I found this dress at Forever 21 Saturday morning, and decided that it would be perfect for my and Kassie's latest photo adventure... Gotta love impulse shopping, am I right? Anyway, we drove around looking for something interesting to pose in front of before we could go grab food and hit up Michael's (look out of a DIY later this week!), and this is what we came up with — a blue wall in a residential back alley... Super glamourous. SO glamourous in fact, that I stepped in something disgustingly oozy and unidentifiable during the shoot... Let's just say it wasn't my finest moment.

What did you guys get up to this weekend? Fill me in! xx

Tribal Dance...

Hello lovelies! How is everyone on this fine Saturday evening? Here's a look at what I wore today to run errands and grab a Starbucks with Mr. AIF... One of my besties gave me this rad Forever 21 blazer last night because, if you can believe it, she wasn't quite feeling it anymore! Needless to say her loss is my gain, because I'm absolutely IN LOVE WITH IT!!! I can't wait to mix and match this little lovely with all my other clothes, making as many awesome combos as I can. Oh, the possibilities...

What do you guys think of my red shorts? I bought them before leaving for Victoria but had yet to wear them... Go figure. I'm really feeling the colour and length (I don't wear short shorts!), and I love the material, even though linen wrinkles all too easily... You know what else? I just realized that we're nearing the end of the month, which means my "Was it in the Bag" contest is coming to an end. To be honest, I kinda forgot about it for a while there, but we might as well end it with a bang, right? The prize has been picked, and now all you have to do is tell me if the shorts were in one of those bags from way back when... A bonus entry will be given to those who guess correctly whether or not my Forever 21 blouse from the previous post was in one of the bags as well... Choose wisely, grasshoppers.
