90s WEEK!

My local library is AWESOME

It is 90s week at my local library and in honor of the occasion, we are going to look at typical 90s fashions I may or may not have missed out on being born in 1996. Apparently some of these are coming back? Lets see the damage...

BUTTERFLY CLIPS?

Even though I have always had a lot of hair, my hair is quite fine so these used to slip out of my hair unless my mum put them in for me, even then I preferred bobby pins. At least bobby pins did not break in my hair when I attempted to put more hair than I should in them!

From Lizzie Maguire to the Olsen twins, colourful butterfly clips in the hair was so fashionable if you were the "girly girl"... which I was in all honesty. I didn't start my vague tomboy phase until I was about ten.

GRUNGE!

Doc Martin's or ankle boots, a berry lip for the girls (or guys, you do you) and maybe throw in some plaid and a smoky almost panda eye? Boom, you have grunge fashion.

Even though the word "Grunge" sound's like something you would scrape off the floor of a public bathroom at 4am, the look itself is pretty cool incorporating band shirts, androgynous looks and prints. It's such an awesome mix'n'match that works.




SCRUNCHIES?!

BRING BACK SCRUNCHIES! wait... what? They already have? Awesome! Although scrunchies have a hard time keeping my hair up I absolutely love the messy look that comes along with them.

Phoebe from Friends rocked this look then and now scrunchies are all over instagram on gorgeous girls with very long hair. Good work ladies, not only are you adorable but scrunchies are actually gentler on your hair! YAY for healthy hair, am I right?


These are just three of the trends I have witnessed coming back but things like accent braids, chokers, army boots and berry lips are definitely back now. Mostly I am not even mad, but some things should probably stay in the past... like Gel Sandals.

Have fun with that! xox
