Candie's, Kohl's
If you're a regular reader, then you know that I think that the '90s were a fine time for fashion. The glam '90s, that is, not their flannel and combat boot-clad but arguably hipper, fresh-from-reform-school stepsisters. Skinny belts? Pleather skirts? Hard Candy nail polish with those cute matching rings? Check, check, and check please! Back when girl world was ruled by Sassy and Wet Seal, this was a look I loved in all of its sweet-tart, holographic glory. Just toss me a pair of clunky loafers, and I'm back in eighth grade again. On second thought, don't. Funky loafers or not, I'd rather be courting forty than stuck at thirteen.
You know what else came from the '90s? Jewel. She gave us "Who Will Save Your Soul," "I Was Meant for You," and "Foolish Games." And then she gave us "Intuition," that club song that became a jingle for the Schick razor of the same name. On the one hand, I thought that it made her a sellout. But I also got that she didn't want to go back to that van.
Crazy thing: I was all set to publish this post when I received this as a freebie in my Zulily package:
Speaking of jewels from days gone by, here's a trio of tops that have three '90s things going for them:
Satin
Or rather, high shine polyester that's the reigning queen of wash-and-wear-if-you-dare.
Leopard
It's subtle yet slick and gently embossed. Like that other '90s fabric, brocade.
Jewel Tones
Behold a yellow brick road of ruby, topaz, and fuchsia! I challenge anyone who says that this last Barbie shade doesn't belong with gemstones.
They say good things come in threes, and I think I've proved it. Then again, they also say that about deaths. Clothing-wise, that applies more to leather.
You know. Cows.

Yes, the 90s had indeed their advantages and I can follow about what you name here although it is quite long ago :)

Love the three tops, especially the shiny gold and pink ones! The 90's were definitely a great time of fun fashion, and now you have me wanting clunky loafers. Jewel is very classic 90's, and the fact you received the Intuition in your Zulily package is priceless! Those three - satin, leopard, and jewel tones - are definitely good things that come in three! :)
The 80s gave birth to the 90s so of course the fashion was still fabulous before it became boringly bland. No wonder I've hung on to a lot of stuff I bought back then.
