I am a big fan of the 90’s. I turned 4 in 1990, so everything I really remember about my childhood happened in the 90’s. My So Called Life and Are You Afraid Of The Dark were my absolute favorite shows, Clueless is still my favorite movie and Placebo is still my favorite band. So of course I’m a big fan of the 90’s Grunge revival that’s happening right now.
This outfit was a complete accident. I hang my long sleeved shirts and button downs on the same rail as my dresses and I completely forgot about this flannel. So I was flipping through my closet and this dress and top were right next to each other.
Since this tweet conversation happened after I bought this dress,
I just want to wear flannels and black baby doll dresses and @Keds with knee socks #90sbaby #keds I'm sure @leighannsays would approve.

I am completely aware that I need more flannels in my life. And don’t be surprised if you see another one pop up here in the next few weeks. Seriously if I could wear flannels from now until Spring I would. We were geniuses in the 90’s, tying a flannel around your waist makes it look tiny, and if you get cold, oh look you have a nice warm flannel right there.
What’s your favorite trend from a past decade that’s current right now? Midi Skirts from the 50’s, Mini’s from the 60’s, Boho from the 70’s, Neon or Leggings from the 80’s, or the Grunge from the 90’s? Let me know in the comments below.
I love flannel shirts! I can’t wait until fall until I don’t have to feel guilty about wearing them too often. –Hanna Lei
Such a cute post! Growing up in the 90s myself I can totally relate. And… one can never have too many flannels

I know this is a post about your outfit but I love those shoes! They’re super cute, I wish we had old navy in the uk!
Do you have Gap? Old Navy and Gap are sister companies and they usually have super similar things. And Thank you! I think shoes are a very important part of your outfit.
