Rainbows, Strip Malls, America





Although its a contradicting thought, I believe the 90's was an alluring decade for Fashion. All kinds of transitions started- the rejection of Fashion with popularized grunge, the 'Power Look', and brands becoming new staples of style. The most admirable fact of the 90's is that this age marked the beginning of recycling. Bringing back the old and mixing it in with the new to create brilliantly twisted looks. Of course throughout history each decade of Fashion forerunners took inspiration from the past (and always will), but the 90's gave birth to the practice of mixing high and low, recycling styles, and combining the old with the new. 

Now two decades later Fashionistas in all levels of society are salvaging Vintage styles and exploring thrift stores for antique finds. I found this 90's floral romper at a Vintage re-sale shop, scored the jackpot with this one! It is hands down the most comfortable piece in my closet. The print is very lovely as well, its appearance is more of a painted floral pattern. To mix in a contemporary element I slipped on my U.S.A wedges, part of a local San Diego Designers collection- Michael Walrond. To top off I paired an American Apparel knitted infinity scarf.  Blending different pops of classic and peculiar is what I do best :) #teenvogue 

Happy Style Hunting,
