Trends come and trends go. Some are fun, and some aren’t
my fav. Lately though, my mind has been
blown with what’s around the corner this
winter. A lot of beauty bloggers I watch who have impeccable taste, know the good and bad makeup products, fashionable
attire, and even tasteful home décor have been doing clothing hauls straight
out of my closet of 1997….my closet door that had Seventeen magazine pictures
of Leonardo DiCaprio, Antonio Sabado Jr, LeAnn Rimes and Puff Daddy taped to
it.
Recent photos and videos highlighting wide corset resembling
belts paired with an oversized sweatshirt dress or ripped up sweater. Even more
surprising is the Tommy Hilfiger sweatshirts and hats, Calvin Klein tees, and Adidas
sweatshirts. Any and everything I would
have been considred #1 dork over the past few years has now returned among the
top trends. In awkward middle school
days, in the late 90s some of these were acceptable but added to the awkward
look of acne faced teens. I’m waiting
any day for the U-shaped bangs to return.
Actually I think I will wing out the hair left of part by my ear and do
the big U shaped hair hardened with hair spray on the right of my side part.
This way I will be the trend setter before it takes shape in the months to come.
Adidas pants were not cool just a short item ago, underwhelming compared to
Lululemon, Lorna Jane, Under Armor, Nike, Carbon 38, Alo yoga, Bombshell brands
and more. The fact that pants sold at
Costco have just returned to high fashion all of a sudden is great for our
wallets, especially if you still have your 90s tees. I am waiting for the EXP
inside out sweatshirts to make their return.
When I was in high school, fashion wasn’t a big deal. Abercrombie & Fitch started a bit more
emphasis on brands, but baggy jeans and flannel shirts were in fashion and that
was that.
I hope children growing up now will have a harder time being unpopular based on their clothing since everything is or just was a trend. Chokers, velvet, suede, fur, short jeans, tight jeans, flare jeans, boyfriend jeans, every toe shape on a shoe, patent leather, all are trendy, so it’s a win win. Jean jackets, moto jackets, bomber jackets, varsity jackets. You can’t be out of style in 2017, which is sort of impressive, and probably tough on designers.

Either way I hope
you enjoy some of my throwbacks. Please try to look past the quality of photos back then. We barely took them, and these were probably taken on a disposable camera but this is what I found. Follow
me on the insta and maybe I will recreate these looks! I quite possible might
be able to pull them off without my braces, pimples, and ill fitting bongo jeans
rolled up. If champion sweatshirts return with white turtlenecks, I just can’t
go that far, but then again, if everyone’s doing it…

Funny I'm in front of Christian Dior accessories at the airport.
That fabric band digital sport watch was my favorite, but I can't find the brand! (age 16)

Why I wore a ski jacket to London in April, I have no idea.
Velvet dress, the last time it was cool.
Probably 10th grade based on the hair cut.
