Baby Spice

Things I love about the 1990s: the movie Clueless, Ace of Base, Nirvana, 90210 & Melrose Place, My So-Called Life (not just because of Jordan Catalano), plaid, Doc Martens, and babydoll dresses. Actually, this list could go on much longer, but in the interest of time, let's focus on the babydoll dress. Donned by cuties and grunge gals alike, babydoll dresses are characterized by an empire waist, short hemline, and relaxed fit. I love their easy-breezy ability to go from sweet to tough in the span of a combat boot. I deeply regret donating mine from back in the day, but was lucky enough to find a modern version at Rung. (I also bought an updated fanny pack that will make an appearance in another post. I assure you that it's cool.) Now, if I can just find a baby backpack. . .

What fashion trend do you miss most from the 90s?

Dress: Chelsea & Violet (Rung); Purse: Mexico; Bike Shorts: H&M; Shoes: Bakers; Shades: Leopard



My inspo: Baby Spice, Courtney Love, Jennie Garth
