I know, I know.
I was one of those who once absolutely abhorred general early 90's fashion-- I joined the bandwagon that said shoulderpads, high-waist jeans, and harem pants will never be en vogue again. But like almost all of the lessons we pick up from fashion, we should know better than to declare something as totally hot or totally not, for we know that trends ALWAYS come back and no matter how ridiculous and asinine we once found them. The ability to be unpredictably ingenious is definitely one of the traits i best love about fashion, and for that, I am left swallowing my words and sweeping up every early 90's finds i can get. Kudos to a great era.

MC Hammer's rise (and eventual fall) was one of the 90's most iconic memories. That, and he made harem (or dhotis) really, really, really famous. This is my take on those ubiquitous harems, basically a black satin-ey version of the one i previously wore (see earlier post). Paired down with a simple white tank and a lace bra, it makes for a very breezy and very interesting outfit for a night out in town.
pardon the "sweat" look... it was incredibly hot when we took this picture. thanks Aoi!
I'm gonna make this post real quick as I know you guys don't like dragging anyway.:) But what about YOU, what are the items/trends you thought you would never resuscitate from your closet (or your mom's closet at that)? We're seeing a resurgence of old trends, yes? I'm definitely interested to know!
And again, wrapping this post up with a big HUG from me for visiting Chic In The Tropics! Your comments and posts ALWAYS make my day and always lifts up my mood. I'm pissed regularly due to the amount of work I have to do (non-blog stuff) but you guys always make everything better. much love!
