I Opened My Eyes And All I Could See Was 1993

6/28/2013

Oh, hey! What's up? I'm not wearing my glasses! Omfg! o_O I'm also showing some bare leg! Oooh la la. ;D Haha. Yeah, I'm just channeling the early to mid-90's with this outfit. I layered up like woah, so I'm going to do a strip tease here and peel away each layer so you can see the method to my madness.

Aww man. You know what, you guys? I should have worn some fingerless black gloves with this. Aww, dammit. That would've been cool. Thing is, it was kind of hot..Hehe. So, yeah. I'm OK with not having sweaty hands. :D I wore a lot of layers, but each piece was very light weight and semi sheer, so it felt really comfortable. The summer breeze just flowed through and made all the layers wisp gracefully.

Yup. I just need a big old pair of headphones and a portable CD Player and I would be good to go. Haha. :P As you can see, I created three different looks in one. I love doing this kind of thing. Basically, I can choose which look I want to show off, just by removing one or two pieces. If I get too hot and remove a piece or two, I'm still stylin'. If I get cold and I need to add a layer or two.. yup. You guessed it. Still stylin' Haha. :P This high low plaid top from Nasty Gal is a fantastic layering piece! :DDD

I also decided to take advantage of the adjustable nature of my boots (seriously my favorite purchase of 2012 as I just can't stop wearing these). The plaid lining is a little bothersome for styling purposes. It can create some unintentional clashing situations, so I have to pick and choose when I show that lining.

After I took these, I grabbed my gear and biked down to one of my favorite java joints. The long layers can make biking kind of difficult, but I easily fixed that by taking the end of the black top and the end of red plaid top and tying them in a knot at my waist. I found that I had unintentionally created another interesting style by doing that. Hehe. So yeah, I managed to not get my clothes caught in my bike spokes and still be totally stylin'. :P Oh and I apologize for my meaty-looking, completely not sexy at all calves. Haha. I'm a runner and I..uh..can't help it. Heh. I started out as a sprinter, actually. :D

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, by the way! <3

Anyone else listen to Less Than Jake in the 90's? Hehe. I love this album! <3

Rejoice! Hahaha. Aww, you're too kind. :D I think my layering is a defense mechanism of sorts. It would take too long to explain, but yeah. There really is a method to my madness. At least I look fashionable in my craze. :P

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG. C-dog beware: I'ma steal your woman! Hahah, no joke: during my freshmen year in college, every Thursday I proclaimed 1994 day and would only listen to 90s bands and would wear my flannel plaid shirts, brown mary janes, etc. I freaking love this!!!

HOT DAMN. Rock that grunge, girl, holy hannah.

Your layering skills are impeccable, per the usual. And I'm digging that belt. And that purse. And that top. And the eye makeup. And your legs. Damnit, I like everything.

Also, you got me to say damn two times in one comment. Three. Three times in one comment. Do you know how hard that is to do?

J used to listen to Less Than Jake. Actually, he still does. XD

love,

Left one out: At The Drive-In: blew me away in the late 90s. I still listen to ATDI to this day! Mars Volta is pretty good, but my heart is with ATDI.

This outfit brings back so many memories. I had one of those belts, and I remember buying my first portable CD player (which was a total rip off---it skipped ALL THE TIME when I tried to walk around with it. So not portable). Great take on the 90's grunge/skater look.

Hahaha..aww yeah. Brittney knows what's up. :D Yeah, I still had one of those portable players when I was in my senior year of college! That was in the mid-2000's! Haha. Yeah, I'm totally old school, brah. Well, that and I was too poor for to get the more updated iPod-like players.

This outfit is such a great example of the good fashion of the 90s (in my opinion anyway). I love the grungey feel to it, and the layering is awesome (also perfect for places where temperature can vary a lot). Just fantastic look overall really, Im feeling inspired to do a 90s looks now!

This outfit is so much fun, but has so many unexpected elements. I love how it creates really strong vertical lines!

Ha! I guess this is channelling the 90s pretty well. I was so fashion-blind then and had no clue what was fashionable. In a uniform of leggings and T-shirts everyday- that was definitely me in the 90s.

Fun way to play with your look here.
