90s Flashback

I just got this windbreaker-esque jacket on the clearance rack at H&M for $10. Did I need it? No. But did it give me a flashback to 4th grade when I sported a black and white Reebok windbreaker suit? Yes. Don’t act like you didn’t have one too. They were so cool in the mid-90s. I really wanted to wear this with a smiley face t-shirt and some peace sign earrings, but alas those things left my closet a long time ago. The best I could do was a side ponytail.

For the full effect, may I recommend rereading this post while listening to one or more of the following songs:

  • Gangsta’s Paradise, Coolio
  • Waterfalls, TLC
  • All I Wanna Do, Sheryl Crow
  • The Sign, Ace of Base
  • Always Be My Baby, Mariah Carey
  • Kiss From a Rose, Seal

What’s your favorite mid-90s song/band? Let me know in the comments (and you can say something about my outfit if the mood strikes you).

The Cat’s Pajamas

This remix thing is getting easier as it goes along. It’s actually fun, which is good because that’s why I started it in the first place. The repeat item today is this necklace. I know…not a huge statement, but tomorrow you’ll see my repeat of this shirt, which is far from subtle. By the way, I love this shirt because it kind of feels and looks like pajamas. And as much as I love fancy clothes, I also really love pajamas. Except my real pajamas look nothing like this. They actually look like 12-year old t-shirts and Target sweatpants, accessorized with cat fur and a headband. My allure is out of this world, I tell you.
