My So Called College Life

It's that time again. The season is changing and I'm slowly settling into the new semester. But along with this subtle change in my life, I'm feeling the wrath of this so called college life. I'm so caught up in everything that I don't have time to stop and smell the roses. The other day, one of my professors described college as a freight train. If you know freight trains, then you know that they usually go so many miles an hour and don't stop until they reach their destination. This is exactly how I feel; I'm on this freight train and I have so many other things to do, but the train won't stop so I have to find the right time to jump off and on.

Well today was no different--long and drawn out, but the highlight was that the package from the fabulous people at solestruck.com arrived (thanks Danielle). I can't wait to wear them! They remind me a little bit about the 90's, but isn't fashion going retro anyway?

Speaking of the 90's. Lately I've had some serious craving for Clarissa Explains It All. I remember looking at Clarissa and thinking she dressed so cool. I would then imitate her outfits only to be stopped by my mom before I left for school, "you're not going out the house like that! Go back upstairs and change!" *stomps feet up the stairs* I often wonder how 90's fashion happened. Seriously, what was so cool about tieing your plaid button down around your waist? NOTHING!

What do you think about 90's fashion?

  3. Dear, tieing plaid shirts around one's waist was the poo because Kurt Cobain did it and he's a legend. I mean anyone who could moan through most of his song and become beyond famous deserves to have an entire fashion trend revolved around him.

    I miss the major love for over-sized flowers, but I'm so glad the midriff is no longer cool, though I've seen a few socialites trying to bring it back. Ahhhh!

  14. I love looking at Beverly Hills 90210 and seeing the 90s fashion, a lot of it is so amusing. They seemed to be really fond of cute floral dresses for a while though.

    it's so funny that 90s is coming back (plaid shirts, grunge) b/c i thought 90s fashion sucked! it was so....opposite of girly and feminine! i am so happy to dress up! i never want to go back to grunge!

  23. 90's fashion = grim. Haha, to be fair - it was awesome at the time, but if I had my way again I would have avoided it at all costs!

    ReplyDelete
  24. At least your college life involves shoes from Guess... haha. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  25. 9os fashion was cool because it reflected the times--it was a total reaction to the excess of the 90s.

    ReplyDelete
  26. New shoes! They'll make you stop and take a moment :)

    ReplyDelete
  27. Haha! I remember being obsessed with Clarissa's wardrobe myself. But, I think the one appealing thing about 90's fashion (and it's not crushed velvet, *shudder*) is that it seemed to be a big fat EFF YOU in the face of every polished era: the 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's, and even the 80's seemed all about structure and put-togetherness, while the 90's was like some crazy amalgamation of fabrics and patterns that totally spit in the face of all that structure. Rebellious...that's the word. :-)

  30. Reminds me of Doc Marten!!

    90s fashion or any fashion from any era for that matter will look good if not overdone and IF suits who wears it :)

    Rockin those boots Girl!
