Nineties New Look

I still cringe when I think back of an outfit I used adore when I was a young grasshopper. It was a black velvet two piece (trouser-type-things and shirt). Underneath there was a purple glittery rayon long-sleeved high neck t-shirt.

I would like to kick my twelve year old self.

To add insult to injury, I used think I was so frickin' cool. I used go outside in that outfit.

So to hear that 90s are coming back makes me rather apprehensive. I'm taking baby steps to becoming comfortable with this. My favourite high-street fix New Look's AW '10/'11 will help me do this.

Plenty of velvet. Strokey stroke. They will be far less embarrassing to look at photos of, as opposed to my velvet suit.

Floral print+Cord+Clogs= cheapandcheerful instant trend filler. This reminds me fondly of both my old floral docs and these clogs I was not allowed wear as a child as they were "impractical".

This snug satchel shall be mine. Perfect for napping on the tube. I feel a Clarissa explains it all inspirational outfit involving this bag.

These boots are made for walking. Around Helsinki in the cold. They remind me of sensible boots my mum would have liked me to wear and I would have hated. Times have changed.

Peace, Fi xx
