Let’s flip through some old family photo albums from the ‘90s. Here’s what you’ll probably discover: chokers, messy hair, high-waisted jeans, denim jackets, Dr. Martens, plaid flannels and crop tops. Most of the styles that my mom wore when I was born take up half of my wardrobe today. History tends to repeat itself, and trends do come back—usually in full force. Take one look at the fashions of 2015 and they will have you feeling like you traveled back in time.
This Fashionista’s style depicts that of a renewed ‘90s chick. From head to toe, she is a total grunge goddess. Incorporating the choker, plaid flannel skirt, black chunky booties, fringe bracelet and tousled hair, this Fashionista knows how to rock it. You can’t help but notice how perfect her snakeskin purse matches with the rest of her outfit. Pairing different, yet similar prints provides a seamless balance of fun and fearlessness.
My favorite part about this look is this Fashionista’s plaid skirt. As a matter of fact, this skirt is actually a shirt! To switch up her oversized flannel, she tied it around her waist and buttoned it the rest of the way down, creating a mini skirt. How savvy is that? I love versatile pieces—next time I wear my flannel, I’m definitely trying it out. Another reason why I love this idea is because it has become a huge trend to tie a flannel shirt around the waist (another ’90s throwback). By creating this shirt-skirt, this Fashionista has started her own trend and restored an old one.
