I never got into the grunge style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/get-ready-for-the-90s#post-382998 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 15:20:39 +0000 Aziraphale 382998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I forgot about the scrunchies (yikes!). Those always make me think of Sex in the City, where Carrie is arguing with with her writer boyfriend over a character in his novel who wore a scrunchie. She said no self-respecting New Yorker would ever wear one!</p> <p>I had a pile of very short, tight tee shirts in the 90s that were worn with high-waisted baggy pants. One time my mother in law was helping me fold clothes and she held one up and said, "Whose tee shirt is this?? It looks like a child's shirt!". She wasn't wrong. I don't plan on buying any more of those this time around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/get-ready-for-the-90s#post-382993 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 15:10:17 +0000 Mo 382993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember plenty of short belly tees in the mid 90's and my 501's worn high up with a belt - like many of Jerry's GF's on Seinfeld lol! No scrunchies this time around, though . . . ha! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/get-ready-for-the-90s#post-382887 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 08:25:59 +0000 Kookaburra 382887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually it's coming back to me! The 90's were BLACK.<br /> Everyone went vego and ate lots of carbs 'cause it was supposed to be so good for you. Protein was deemed to give you a heart attack straight away. How fashions change! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/get-ready-for-the-90s#post-382886 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 08:19:45 +0000 An 382886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no. Too many photos of me in flannel and denim from the early 90's. Eeek! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/get-ready-for-the-90s#post-382883 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 07:46:48 +0000 Kookaburra 382883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Spent the whole 90's in a business suit - and business attire was much more formal then. Weekends in jeans or bushwalking gear - while bushwalking, I should add. </p> <p>So what was the 90's fashion anyway? I must have missed it! I fail to have any defined picture of it in my head. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/get-ready-for-the-90s#post-382879 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 07:17:38 +0000 cora*♥* 382879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was a teenager during the 90s and didn't dress fashionably at all, I actually like to have my chance at doing it even if it's only in a fitting room :D<br /> When I think of the 90s I don't think of grunge though. It's more early Tori Amos and Björk. I loved the way the styled themselves, too. And Hope Sandoval from Mazzy Star. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/get-ready-for-the-90s#post-382873 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 06:31:41 +0000 rosee 382873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In general = Nay! There will be too many Courtney Love wannabes running around.<br /> Some aspects of the 90s = Yay. Actually, I still haven't stopped wearing a few things but in updated ways (slightly different shapes, with more modern clothing).<br /> Music-wise -- there are some bands I really couldn't listen to anymore (and that goes for 80s music too), but really the teens I know have been listening to this stuff for the past few years anyway. It's more genre specific than decade specific.<br /> I will be kicking myself though b/c I sold a bunch of vinyl quite a few years back when I was simplifying and organizing things (was desperately lacking space) -- including original pressing Sub Pop artists and other labels. These bands are really big right now and I had some of their original recordings. Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pixies.... shoulda kept them and sold them now.<br /> Don't forget, it's not all grunge! The mid-90s saw the the emergence of acid jazz and resurgence of retro groove artists. Very urban music and style -- but done generally well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/get-ready-for-the-90s#post-382852 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 04:06:22 +0000 MsMaven 382852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh, the 90s were definitely not my best decade style-wise. Aren't we cycling through the decades too quickly? I can barely keep up--yesterday the 50s, last month the 70s, tomorrow the 90s. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/get-ready-for-the-90s#post-382783 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 02:05:00 +0000 Angie 382783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nay </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/get-ready-for-the-90s#post-382765 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 01:43:32 +0000 Aziraphale 382765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's like anything: you can incorporate elements into your wardrobe and rock it, but if it looks like you're playing 90s dress-up (or 80s, or 70s) it's too much. </p> <p>I personally like tight on top, looser on the bottom, or vice versa. Burying yourself in baggy pants and an oversized scrubby plaid shirt does not look fantasitc, but a modernized, more fitted plaid shirt can. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/get-ready-for-the-90s#post-382706 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 00:46:01 +0000 Heather 382706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! Seems just like yesterday. ;D</p> <p>ETA: Rita, what did you find in UO?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/get-ready-for-the-90s#post-382704 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 00:41:13 +0000 Diana 382704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I go for this trend at all, it will be very, very selectively. I was a teenager in the 90's and did not do grunge back then either; I am basically too girly for it. Plus, now a lot of the baggier grungy styles would probably do terrible things for my figure and make me look bigger than I am. </p> <p>I do still like the juxtaposition of lacy, girly floral dress + tough combat boots (think 90's Courtney Love). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/get-ready-for-the-90s#post-382698 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 00:36:55 +0000 catgirl 382698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's always the '90s here in Nirvanalaska, so I'm going to vote nay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/get-ready-for-the-90s#post-382666 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 23:55:03 +0000 Jonesy 382666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too loved the early '90s! I still think a flannel shirt and some well-cut jeans is a sexy look on a fella :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/get-ready-for-the-90s#post-382662 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 23:52:33 +0000 Aida 382662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae I was just whining about that the other day; "rock" doesn't even come close to describing what the kids are listening to these days, even WITH air quotes ;)</p> <p>EDIT: Reminds me of a magnet that resides on my fridge: "I'm not old, your music just sucks" heh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/get-ready-for-the-90s#post-382650 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 23:13:54 +0000 rae 382650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The 90s is MY decade! Flannel, combat boots... woohoo, I'll be cool for a season!</p> <p>Or maybe I'll be grumpy that a bunch of posers are appropriating my beloved looks? o_0 Nah, I'll be happy to stop getting the stink eye for wearing wide leg jeans. </p> <p>And I could definitely stand a resurgence of grunge music as well. I feel about 200 years old when I start whining about "kids these days and their wimpy rock songs." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/get-ready-for-the-90s#post-382640 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 22:49:32 +0000 Aida 382640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the 80s way more than the 90s, and I was a teen in the 90s (I'll take Minor Threat and Black flag over Soundgarden ANY day!!). That said, I loves me some plaid and wide leg jeans I'll probably participate very, very selectively in any 90s resurgent trends; the 80s stuff just resonates much more with my personal style preferences (and the 70s over the 90s, for sure). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/get-ready-for-the-90s#post-382579 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 19:48:30 +0000 modgrl 382579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it was more like 80's Minor Threat, Black Flag, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/get-ready-for-the-90s#post-382577 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 19:40:05 +0000 Mo 382577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>lol - Ratt and Soundgarden are WORLDS apart [says the gracefully aging rocker chic] !! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/get-ready-for-the-90s#post-382575 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 19:38:24 +0000 modgrl 382575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Mo, it was weird actually they were showing all these 90's clothes but playing early 80's hardcore. I'm sure the 19yo's shopping in there wouldn't know the difference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/get-ready-for-the-90s#post-382574 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 19:36:12 +0000 Aziraphale 382574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes -- in fact I just wrote a post about how much I like (and have trouble finding) plaid shirts! So 90s-inspired clothing can only mean good things for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/get-ready-for-the-90s#post-382573 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 19:35:18 +0000 Mo 382573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay!<br /> I only hope popular music will take a cue and get back to real music like the 90's as well! I've heard enough Auto Tune to last me a lifetime, thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/get-ready-for-the-90s#post-382572 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 19:33:44 +0000 modgrl 382572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I stopped into Urban at lunch today. They were redoing the entire store. I asked what was up and they said they are getting ready for fall. They are going to be showing lots of 90's grunge, including flannel, lace and wide legged jeans. </p> <p>YAY: I love the 90's<br /> NAY: Grunge is dead and should stay that way </p>
