Well done. You look picture-90s-perfect. :-)</p> <p>I am slightly older than you, I think&nbsp;-- I was 17 in 1990, so it was the year I graduated from&nbsp;high school, which means I associate grunge with the university years and the freedom that came with that. What you're wearing today is pretty much exactly what I wore for all of 1991/92, burgundy Docs&nbsp;and all. (We share a fondness for burgundy footwear!).&nbsp;We didn't roll our jeans here so much as let them slouch over the boots, as you have.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I feel the same way about 90s fashion -- not exactly 'high style', but I'm fond of the grungy looks because it coincided with my introduction to adulthood and (relative) freedom.&nbsp;</p> <p>Except I was not a fan of&nbsp;the baby tee with spaghetti-strap dress look. But lots of my friends wore it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fashion-era-challenge-90s-grunge/page/2#post-1471031 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 20:03:11 +0000 rachylou 1471031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jackie C - Oh man. I love your '90s pic. It brings it back. I don't know what happened in the '90s. It's all a big blank for me. I'm not sure what that means... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fashion-era-challenge-90s-grunge/page/2#post-1470812 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 14:49:38 +0000 texstyle 1470812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Spot on - looks very authentic and cute on you too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fashion-era-challenge-90s-grunge#post-1470652 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 11:16:10 +0000 harmonica 1470652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cool! Love the beanie. </p> <p>In my corner of the world I think the hems were always ripped due to touching the ground - so I'd say slouch. (or was that more like millennium trend?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fashion-era-challenge-90s-grunge#post-1470626 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 08:52:30 +0000 Deborah 1470626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nailed it. &nbsp;You look like you are headed out to a Nirvana gig. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fashion-era-challenge-90s-grunge#post-1470556 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 04:15:22 +0000 annagybe 1470556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore this.<br />I was in college. I wore a flannel shirt, sweatpants and Birkenstocks with wool socks. It was school in Portland, OR. So it was a mismash of grunge and trustafarians. Mind you&nbsp;<i></i>I was from a small town in eastern Washington and attempting to fit in.<br />The friends that remember me then give me grief now about me a fancy person. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fashion-era-challenge-90s-grunge#post-1470491 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 03:01:24 +0000 Karie 1470491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Total '90's grunge. You nailed this one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fashion-era-challenge-90s-grunge#post-1470485 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 02:58:22 +0000 Jaime 1470485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The top is a great color on you and you really captured the look in picture #1 but I love how you brought it into the 21st century with the semi-tuck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fashion-era-challenge-90s-grunge#post-1470476 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 02:52:21 +0000 Suz 1470476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG -- laughing so hard at the thought of you and DH going for drinks thus attired. But you look amazing in these colours and did a great 90s style outfit!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fashion-era-challenge-90s-grunge#post-1470440 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 02:26:58 +0000 Diana 1470440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I ended up going for drinks and dinner with my husband after work. He was wearing a suit and tie. We made quite the odd couple, I think! We ended up going to a pub followed by a hipster-y BBQ place, so my outfit was appropriate; his, not so much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fashion-era-challenge-90s-grunge#post-1470392 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 01:27:03 +0000 Anonymous 1470392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! And very familiar here too.</p> <p>I remember the t-shirts under the spaghetti-strapped dresses too! I think I had only one dress I ever wore like that (it was&nbsp;mocha and white houndstooth or gingham or something from the Gap), but had a lot of the floral baby-doll dresses. I had Docs, but never any of the boots like that though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fashion-era-challenge-90s-grunge#post-1470334 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 00:20:37 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1470334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are super cute in this outfit. I especially like it with the current semi-tuck and smile in 3. I'm laughing at your post and the comments, because grunge was a look that passed me by completely! I think I was working at the Pentagon then, maybe, so no wonder. Hah haha! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fashion-era-challenge-90s-grunge#post-1470310 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 23:39:34 +0000 Diana 1470310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hee, I seem to have awakened a lot of memories (good or bad).&nbsp; It's fun to do one of these for a Fashion Era that I actually lived through.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fashion-era-challenge-90s-grunge#post-1470296 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 23:13:46 +0000 jackiec 1470296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG memories! You nailed it and I LOVE it. Don't think we cuffed the jeans. This looks perfect. </p> <p></p> <p>ETA - loved the tshirt under a dress look in the 90's too! This was my fav: you can't see the length but I remember it being super short. Circa 1996</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fashion-era-challenge-90s-grunge#post-1470288 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 22:45:04 +0000 Greyscale 1470288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks just like me in high school! And, er, I'm wearing almost exactly that outfit today, except with Converse instead of my (identical) Docs. I guess I accidentally did the decades challenge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fashion-era-challenge-90s-grunge#post-1470263 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 22:00:18 +0000 CocoLion 1470263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a really good look on you. &nbsp;I have a love of 90s grunge as well. &nbsp;I think you nailed all the details. &nbsp;I don't recall cuffing back then. &nbsp;I do remember buying the Levi's a bit bigger then hiking them up and cinching them at the waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fashion-era-challenge-90s-grunge#post-1470241 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 21:16:18 +0000 carter 1470241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd never heard of 90s grunge (I was in my 30s then) until someone referenced it here a few months ago. Regardless, this looks great to me. It's totally my F/W lounge wear. Love the plaid on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fashion-era-challenge-90s-grunge#post-1470238 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 21:06:04 +0000 Sal 1470238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very 90s. &nbsp;You look terrific.</p> <p>I only did "90s lite" (definitely 501s, I did have one plaid shirt). &nbsp;I spent a lot of time dressed very boringly/conservatively in moleskin jeans, midi dresses, conservative work suits with trousers or midi shirts.&nbsp;&nbsp;I did have a funky chocolate brown velveteen work suit with a super long jacket and flared trousers (probably too short), and I love my lace tights and layering tees. &nbsp;Budget was limited due to travel and buying a home. &nbsp;And whilst I thrifted borrowed and adapted clothes like mad in the 80s I stopped in the 90s.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fashion-era-challenge-90s-grunge#post-1470235 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 21:00:03 +0000 Gennifyr 1470235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love that you topped it off with a beanie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fashion-era-challenge-90s-grunge#post-1470189 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 19:46:05 +0000 Meredith 1470189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! I'm pretty sure we slouched the cuffs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fashion-era-challenge-90s-grunge#post-1470152 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 19:00:24 +0000 Diana 1470152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha ha ha. Someone just said to me, "plaid! I don't think I've ever seen you wearing a plaid shirt before!"</p> <p>(Which is untrue. I wore this shirt a lot this winter! But I guess in combo with the ripped jeans and combat boots it's very "flannel" in a way that it is not over skinnies with a black moto or something. LOL.). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fashion-era-challenge-90s-grunge#post-1470072 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 17:14:38 +0000 Angie 1470072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh good heavens.

Do you remember long spaghetti strap floral dresses worn over baby tees with Docs? That was my favorite outfit formula then. </p> <p>I love this, you totally nailed it. It is very grunge, but also current. I think I wore the jeans over the boots in those days, but am not quite certain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fashion-era-challenge-90s-grunge#post-1470016 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 16:11:57 +0000 amiable 1470016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this - and I'm feeling chilly in my outfit today - I may change to 90s grunge.... </p>
