nineties, now

GAK IS BACK!
Wait, really? This past weekend, I saw a commercial that proclaimed just that: the slimy silly toy is once again for sale, for a whole new generation of kids to enjoy. With the abundance of crop tops, flatform shoes, and pastel tribal prints floating around recently, and now the relaunch of toys from my childhood, I think it’s safe to say we are in the midst of a 90s revival. In honor of this sensation, here are a few of my favorite 90s redeux trends (not counting boy bands, of course).

CUTOUTS
Cutouts are as fun and fancy now as they were 20 years ago. Extra points if they're on a shirt that falls at a very Spice-Girls-esque crop top length.

(LIGHT) GRUNGE
While I cannot proclaim to be a huge fan of the all-out dirty grunge look of so many 90s bands, I've always liked a piece with a little edgy detailing.

ANKLETS
The anklet was my very favorite accessory as a child; I wouldn't have dreamt of hitting the pool without one. This is why I, for one, am thrilled to see a sophisticated, streamlined version making a comeback.
