Finals are complete, students on their way home and the summer heat is finally coming in. Yet, I feel at odds end with my wardrobe. Not ready to pack away some cozy knits, I try to find a balance between the changing weather. Layering is key this month and this Fashionista combined a stand out piece with more subtle accessories. Overall, creating a ’90s-inspired look into the future ensembles.
This striking sweater dress was collaborated by Moschino, an Italian fashion powerhouse, and Cartoon Network in celebration of the Power Puff Girls comeback show, which airs in late 2016. I don’t know what screams ’90s more; however, this bright yellow-knitted dress would fit perfectly in your closet next to a packrat pile of Neopets and collection of VHS’s. Buttercup, the cartoon featured on the dress, is a character perfectly picked for this outfit because of her spicy persona.
If you aren’t ready to dive completely into the ’90s space-ward, you can do exactly what this Fashionista accomplished by adding in background elements to tone down the center stage dress. This jean skirt from Urban Outfitters takes the focus to the front design of the dress while serving as a nice transition into the bow-dotted and mesh tights. Finally, a pair of black creepers complete the look for a total ’90s revamp.
What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? In talking to this Fashionista, I also noted her signature necklace, alien bun hair and unique backpack. She says it is the added details that can pull an outfit together. Even on campus or just a casual Tuesday afternoon, this Fashionista turned heads.
