My so-called life
I was feeling a little grungy, so I decided to channel my favorite girl of the 90's. This was put together with Angela Chase in mind from my soundtrack (Sonic Youth, Cranberries, Violent Femmes) to the floral dress, vest, and leather backpack. Even though the series was created for teenagers, I originally watched it after I was in my 20's. Watching it put me right back into my high school self. I guess its true that not much changes about growing up no matter what generation.

I love your dress and bag! You definitely wear this look well. Now I suddenly have an urge to watch the show myself!
ReplyDeleteAdorable. I like when we find inspiration in art.
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit! You look adorable.
ReplyDeleteI actually have the dvd's thats how much I loved My So-Called Life. My high school (small school) always complained and still cannot believe how such a show ever got cancelled. Most people have realized it wasn't the show itself, but that it aired at a time where too many other popular shows were airing, so it never got a chance. After it was cancelled, MTv realized the viewing increased and thats why it was played over and over. And why am I typing all this who knows? LOL LOVE THE OUTFIT!
ReplyDeleteOh this is so, lovely. I have similar pieces and may have to "borrow" your look for my gal pal coffee date tomorrow. You look gorgeous! xx veronika

There certainly seems to be a lot of 90s nostalgia about at the moment. It makes me feel nostalgic too, even though I hardly remember it as such... (and the late 90s was awwwwful).
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. Love your blog.
ReplyDeleteCheck out my blog if you've got time and feel like it. It would mean a lot.

you do look very 90's, in a very good way :) I love your dress.
ReplyDeletei've never really been into the grunge look myself, but you look very nice here. i've been on a hunt for a dress just like this to wear with a fringed leather vest i found while thrifting. i'll have to stop by h&m sometime soon, this is very close to what i am looking for!
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit! I keep almost buying that dress. You may have just convinced me I need it.
ReplyDeleteChe piacevole scoperta il tuo blog! Hai dei look molto retrò e originali! Complimenti =)
ReplyDeleteOvviamente ti seguo,
Alice
nice outfit ^^
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great take on the 90's...and I just added My So-Called Life to my Netflix Queue! :)
ReplyDeletehow are you IN MY MIND RIGHT NOW?! My So Called Life is currently on Netflix instant watch and I've been watching every night for like the last week. She wears these burgundy (velvet?) combat boots that I have been frantically searching for on Etsy/Ebay and yeah...
ReplyDeletealso the fact that Jared Leto aka Jordan Catalano grew up to be such a hollywood weirdo is never lost upon me, but gosh he's such a dream boat in that series!
Na-na-na-nineties! Now I feel the need to Spice Up My Life.
ReplyDeleteReally, though, I love this look. I've been really vibing on the 90s as of late.
lovely dress !
ReplyDeletei really like your floral dress!
ReplyDeleteGreat printed dress and I agree - it is very 90s :)
ReplyDeleteI'm 2 days late but this made me think of you and your st. pat's plans :

i loved that show too, it's kinda timeless even if we aren't teenagers ourselves. you've pulled this look off totala! love it lades. pretty floral dresses are a fave for sure. nice little quote addition too, very inspiring! ♥
ReplyDeleteHa, now this is weird. I just re-watched all 19 episodes between last weekend & this weekend. It's magnificent, and you did a great job embodying the look.
ReplyDeleteAhhh, I love your outfit! That little waistcoat/cardigan is so cute! I have a similar one, which I totally forgot about.. til just now! xxxxxxxx
