Return of the 90s at Revolve

Oh ’90s, how I miss thee sometimes…I believe these were the best years for music, and the fashion sense was coming off of the uber colorful and whimsical decade of the 80s, with a slightly toned down and more simplified touch. I often wish we could go back to the ’80s and ’90s both for the music and fashion tastes because in retrospect I find it to be one of the most fun, free and creative times. Nowadays, in both worlds, everything seems based off a template, or formula, and with the market being so much more competitive than it used to be, it’s tough to come out with a 100% new idea. Of course now, we see an emergence of such ’80s styles such as crop tops and acid wash jeans, and it sure is fun to see how cyclical things can be when it comes to style. One of my favorite retailers, Revolve, has come out with a new collection of ’90s inspired looks which is both current and nostalgic, and to me has such a great balance of class, elegance and whimsy. Many of the styles are original in their own right, whether or not they are based off a timeless or one-hit-wonder look. Generally I don’t go for any particular look, and pick pieces for myself that I just happen to like or that fit well with pieces I already own, but I really had a lot of fun looking through some of these outfits and coming up with some new ideas for my own wardrobe. Revolve included many more looks than I am showing here, so I picked out my favorites…and then broken it down even further at the very bottom of this post with my favorite pieces from each look. Each look has a statement piece that is featured but click on any image to see them all and shop everything that Revolve put together for each one. One of the things that I like the most about having a blog is checking out these themed lookbooks that both Revolve and Shopbop put together and sharing what inspires me, so I hope everyone enjoys them as much as I did!

Black and Blue and Booties Too

I can’t get enough of cobalt blue! I think it’s safe to say it’s become a staple color…almost a neutral even, which is weird because it is so vibrant. But somehow it fits with everything. I even still am carrying around my cobalt Foley & Corinna Mid City Tote, even with this outfit! I thought I’d be too blued out, but I actually like combining the color with two colorless neutrals…either the white tank underneath my sweater with my black Level 99 Tanya in Crawford or the blue sweater, black jeans and grey Forever 21 jacket. I obviously cannot get enough of these jeans…the black rips give the perfect edge to any classy sweater or top, the fit is amazing and the tencel fibers in them is just so COMFORTABLE! The jacket is also a common item in my outfits as you can probably see…not long ago I was scouring the market for a fleece-like grey peacoat-style jacket and scored this one for $20 at Forever 21, which is really not a choice store of mine but every now and then I can find a cheap but surprisingly decent quality gem in there. This soft blue waffle-knit sweater I found when I attacked American Eagle Outfitters‘ recent Extra 60% off clearance offer, and scored it along with two other sweaters which I am digging so much right now. They are so perfect with the “winters” that we get here in California…I’ll feature them in some upcoming posts!
