Alas, things will never be that simple again. But I can still enjoy a little nostalgia by trying to incorporate the 90's into my wardrobe.
Jelly Sandals
If you didn't have jelly sandals, you weren't cool. The really cool people had glitter inside the jelly. Nowadays, I doubt anybody would let me wear these to the office. Instead I have to settle for brightly coloured heels.

Baby G watch
Baby G watches were all the rage at some point. I begged my parents to get me one, a pink one, with the little guy who dances when you press the button. Alas, I left it somewhere one day (still to this day, I am concerned that I would lose my head if it wasn't screwed on). These days, the closest I'm getting to a Baby G in the office is a brightly coloured watch.

Chokers
These fake tattoo chokers were disgusting. I can't believe how amazing I thought they looked, and the fact that I wore one every day for quite a considerable period of my life. I no longer particularly like chokers, but I do love Mimco's range of short necklaces. Mmmm.. Mimco.

Cargo Pants
Cargo pants were everywhere in the 90's. They were flattering then, and they aren't flattering now. More recently, celebrities have brought back cargo pants in "skinny" style.

Scrunchies
Seriously, if these ever come back in, I will personally remove them from everyone who wears one.
Now for a game of - You Nostalgia, you lose
I love this blog. I came across it while looking for stockists of jelly sandals... Apparently they're back, or perhaps I'm moving backwards in the fashion trends. Either way, this gave me a laugh as I went through all of those phases. I still have my Polly Pockets. ha!
ReplyDeleteyes me to.. found this blog while looking for jelly sandals. i think i wore all of these fads, haha. i really want some jelly sandals!
Deleteme too!!!! i just got back from tahiti a week or so ago and everyone wore them there (little kids, teenagers, old men, everyone). i bought a few pairs while i was there because they sell them everywhere. but now i'm kicking myself for not buying more. does anyone know where i can find some?
DeleteI was feeling rather nostalgic lately and I am so glad I ran into this. This reminds me of being a kid and being spoiled by mom and dad, not giving a care for the world because we didn't have to worry about money or jobs. I also still have my Polly Pockets somewhere! I had a Beauty and the Beast one and an Aladdin one, too! The good ol' days of being a kid
