Wearing all the 90s things while keeping it fresh.
Confession time: I had a completely different outfit planned for KCFW. (The short of it: vinyl skirt, sequined sweater.) But on the day of, I put it on and just wasn’t feeling it. (This happens to the best of us!) Time to style pivot and come up with something else on the fly! Thankfully, I had some new pieces in the closet that had arrived from a few recent hauls. I was already in a 90s style frame of mind and wanted to keep with that theme; 90s vibes are the best vibes right now.
I started with this gingham skirt and floaty floral top ($18 and $30, respectively– talk about a score). A tight gingham mini screamed She’s All That in the spring, am I right? And this white blouse with black + yellow flowers felt a little 90s Drew Barrymore to me, which was perfect. Matched together, they made for a killer throwback print mix with a nice balance between revealing (short, tight skirt) and more modest (blousy top). A pair of ankle booties with attitude rooted the look in 2018: these Vince Camuto’s were a Christmas gift from my boyfriend and turn some serious heads every time I wear ’em. That classic leather jacket I’ve been wearing nonstop lately (see it here and here) added warmth and toughness, and a wide-brim hat gave this whole look a fashion Coachella vibe. (Said tongue-in-cheekily, of course, but I honestly dig that aesthetic.) And voilá! I looked like I should be playing drums for a cool 90s girl band.
Shop the look:
Even though this wasn’t the outfit I originally planned on, I really love the way this look turned out. I love the mixed prints, coupled with the busy studded booties. I dig the way the hat adds a retro festival vibe (and it reminds me to dip into my hat collection more often!) and how the moto adds that edge I require from an outfit.
Shopbop End of the Season Sale
Shopbop is ushering in spring with a sale! From today until Saturday, April 14, you can get 20% off orders under $500 and 25% off orders $500+. I’m all ears! Use code: EVENT18 at checkout.
I need some straw pieces to round out my spring + summer accessories, so I’m eying this straw clutch for under $35 or this round pink number for $60. I have this ring set from Gorjana and wear it constantly; you can also score my Quay (on heavy rotation!) and Le Specs (also in the mix!) as part of the sale, too.
