Anyone who can do basic math knows that I am not a child of the 90s.  I wish I was, but I’m not, in fact I wish I was a child of a lot of eras, especially the time when people wore platform shoes. Fortunately, the internet has been good to me, and opened up this whole other world of 90s inspired fashion.  Just the other day I bought a 90s inspired halter top romper; complicated, I know.   A few of the trends of the 90s have been quite the inspiration for me lately, so behold, how to dress like a 90s girl…

90s Girl Trends

Mom Jeans- I said that overalls almost topped all the trends of the 90s, but it is in fact mom jeans that take the cake. Traditionally these are light wash, high waisted jeans, but I've even seen some purple mom shorts! All the little details make these really special, like the distressing, the cuffed bottoms right above the ankle, and the amazing color.
	Overalls- Praise the lord of overalls... These are probably one of my biggest obsessions for the summer. Denim was a big trend in the 90s anyway, but overalls topped almost everything. Almost everything. I particularly enjoy the denim overalls, but nowadays you can find overalls in a very large variety of fabrics.
Turtlenecks- I find turtlenecks to be a little bit similar to halter tops, but I can definitely see the difference. Turtlenecks these days come in two styles from what I have seen; the super high, baggy turtlenecks, or the barely-there high neck shirts. I can appreciate both, but I definitely find the barely-there high necks more comfortable and appropriate for summer. Either way, I still love them.
	Halter Tops- Halter tops seem to be the spaghetti straps of the future. Or is it the past? These seem to have matured, as halter tops now have thicker straps with a little detailing, and appear to be made from a variety of fabrics, including some of the trends right now. I've even seen a metallic blue halter top, so apparently we're combining the future with the past.
Embellished Denim- I told you there was a lot of denim in the 90s. This is even the last denim feature, but I'm trying to mix everything up. Embellished denim backpacks and jackets were quite common due to the grunge fashion that was happening during this era. I actually like this trend enough to do a DIY with some patches I find, (maybe even from my Girl Scout days) so stay tuned for that!
	Choker Necklaces- There seemed to be one choker necklace in the 90s in a variety of colors, that to me, resembles a rubber band. But this piece has definitely evolved as the choker necklaces sold now don't typically resemble this in any way. My favorites are probably the daisy chokers, but I also like the simple gold and silver chains.
Light Wash Denim- This sort of ties into the embellished denim I was speaking about above, but they're not quite the same thing. Light wash and mineral wash were quite common in the 90s, as well as denim, so of course someone put two-and-two together to create a light wash denim. I find light wash denim to be pretty casual, and summer-y, so it's one of my favorite washes.
	Daisies & Sunflowers- It turns out that one of my very favorite flowers happens to be a big trend from the 90s. Since flowers aren't a specific piece, they can be worn in many, many ways. One of my favorites would have to be daisy and sunflower headbands and necklaces, so daisy accessories in general. But daisies and sunflowers are also quite common on dresses and rompers, so you could also try that.
