the time has come the forecasts say....



...for 90's to come back and shine another day!
  Let's face it: the '90s is a cycle we hope fashion skips every year. That being said, some of the most creative outfits and garments were created in the '90s - or as a result of them. Being a '90s child I grew up with some of the coolest trinkets, fashions and music. Seriously though, the 90s were ten whole years of "wear whatever the hell you want" and was a time of full enthusiasm and colour.  There's nothing that we need more in this world right now than a little splash o' the '90s.

While you read and experience a blast from the past, why don't you enjoy the ear orgasm that is Much Dance '95....

I simply want to show all you fearful fashionistas that the '90s are back - for an ATTACK and who knows, maybe this time it will stick?


MyVersion:
"Cruisin Through The Hood" Clueless pullover; Untitled & Co., 717 Queen St W, Toronto
Plaid chiffon skirt and red knee high socks from American Apparel
Yellow hexagon purse found on Karmaloop
White Lonestar platforms by Jeffrey Campbell X Wildfox on Solestruck

(Clueless Collection seen on left side by Wildfox Couture. Collection is available on Wildfox Couture)


Plaids, stripes, argyle, plaid, polka dots, hearts all over, full-on-pattern, and more plaid is all we saw when we watched Clueless the first time. After seeing it again a couple weeks ago - I've realized that some of the Clueless '90s trends never actually died. On a side note,  I've had this outrageous urge to buy the most perfect pair of blue/green/yellow plaid high waisted pants and jacket for 6 months now and I'm sure it's because I subconsciously knew this era was coming back to "haunt" us. However, I still haven't found these pieces so if any of you know where I can find these PLEASE PLEASE let me know! 
Now that's been discussed, we can get back to business. Wildfox Couture has just recently come out with a new collection that is strictly inspired by Cher and her pals. When using Clueless for style inspiration remember the following three key items:

- some sort of all-over pattern on at least 1-2 garments
- a good chunky-heeled platform shoe (try this in a bold solid colour to offset the patterns)
- knee highs/thigh highs are almost mandatory - play off the colours that are used in the patterned garment

Follow these and you should be like, totally hot.
AND!!!

Until next time
