90s Grunge is Back: Love it or Leave it?

I've been secretly dreading the imminent return of 90s grunge.  I foresaw the flannel and Doc Martins returning after the huge, sweeping influx of high waisted jeans in a multitude of washes but namely acid wash.  That was back in February or March of 2014.  Now a year later, overalls have come and gone and high waisted jeans are still around and subsequently paved the way for 90s grunge.  When I think of the 90s grunge fashion era I think of the TV show Beverly Hills 90210 and their fashion, along with the awkward and less than flattering fashions of my junior high school days.  Wide leg jeans, high waisted jeans, flannel, combat boots, and layered choker style necklaces were in and it looks like they are *shudder* back.




Social media and stores seem to be filled with everything needed to recreate the look.  But you know what? I don't really want to.  It was fun and cool the first time but now I can't see myself in this look at all.  Others do it beautifully, like the girl in the picture!

I am quite content leaving the choker necklaces to the new generation of fashionistas and not revisiting this trend.  The tattoo style ones pictures above are not in my style aesthetic at all.  I have seen some others pull it off and look great but it's just not me.  
One of the only 90s fashion aspects I can embrace this time around is tanks layered under sun dresses and maybe the boots with floaty dresses.  

And of course, Dear Readers, that is just my opinion on the whole thing.  What is yours?  Are you embracing the 90s grunge styles or ignoring them and impatiently waiting for what's next?  Do you love it or will you leave it?  Leave a comment and let me know!
