The fashion of today has become a beautiful mix of previous eras. People are able to mix the iconic styles of earlier decades into their wardrobes to create their own unique style. This is what makes today such an interesting era in fashion. The past is always inspiring the present. For example, Prada's Spring 2012 RTW collection was decorated with full skirts and vintage inspired prints straight from the 1950’s. One of my favorite eras to draw inspiration from is the grunge movement that originated in the 1990’s in the Pacific Northwest. The movement had such a strong influence on not only music, but also the fashion scene.
That is where today’s Fashionista comes in. She looks like she could have been a Nirvana groupie circa 1992, and I was totally jealous. This Fashionista starts with a cool band T-shirt and adds a pair of high-waisted denim shorts for a nice base. Her accessories really help to elevate her outfit and add a cool, rocker vibe. She adds a colorful belt and bag to add in a dose of color. The red is then picked up in her subtlety striped tights. The Fashoinista finishes off the look with a pair of aviators and the quintessential boot from the 1990’s: Doc Martens.
Want to channel your inner 90’s child? I suggest investing in a pair of Doc Marten boots. They are extremely sturdy so comfortable. Try a floral or maybe even metallic pair of a spin on the original style. Add a pair of sheer black panty hose, like these American Apparel heart print ones for an extra layer in the fall. Incorporate your favorite T-shirt and denim cut-offs and you’re set.
