I was feeling a little bit "I don't give a damn" when I put this outfit together.This thrifted dress has quite a 90s quality to it, what with the higher waist, looser fit skirt, the length, and the mini shoulder pads. That with some leather, and you've got yourself a bonafide blast from the past ensemble. Right?
No makeup (ok, a slap of dark lipstick) and hardly combed hair... am I getting this period wrong?
This is definitely something I wore in the 90s. I had a dress in a similar pattern and I would wear it with my Doc Martens or Chuck Taylors. I love this on you!

Don't ask me why, but I get a very "Clarissa Explains It All" vibe from this outfit. Not a bad thing, I always wanted to be her (pet alligator and a cute boy just showing up at your window? yes, please!)
ReplyDeletewhat a nice jacket
ReplyDeleteGrunge is good....you wear it well. You look great with no makeup!

LOL Laura at I don't give a damn! HAHAHA Well don't read my email until tomorrow girl! LOL You look great! The leather jacket and dress together looks good. You're doing the red lippy thing, bed head going and you make glasses cool. I look like ultra nerd with mine. Have a good day girl!

You do the whole grunge thing very well. I tend to keep my 90s dresses plain or girly. I don't think I'd be able to insert the "I don't give a damn" vibe into what I wear and not look ridiculous. So, I'll just admire your outfits instead!
ReplyDeleteWhat's the print on your dress? I can't quite tell. Flowers or stars? Or something completely different?
You look Fabulous! Effortless Chic!
ReplyDeleteI think the jacket looks great with your dress! Also, you look very pretty with or without makeup, you are so lucky :)

I love 90's 80's 70's 60's or 50's they are fabulous fashion eras. It's great to be able to own something from these eras. Great dress, you made it edgy with a leather jacket and boots. Nice. I didn't notice the makeup free face only the cracks on the road, you still look cute anyway girl!

90's all the way! The dress with the leather is a great throwback to that time. Love the necklace too!
ReplyDeleteThat dress is cute, and it definitely reminds me of the 90s.
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous! I am so obsessed with pairing dresses with leather jackets. It's such a badass combination! I love your tough boots too! And your glasses are ridiculously adorable. I wish I could pull off big glasses like those!

Love the whole look! I like it a lot, it's my kind of look actually!
ReplyDeleteWhile I was looking at the photos and reading your post, I totally had "Smells Like Teen Spirit" playing in my head. And re-runs of Daria. Yeah... it's a big old mess in the ol' noggin'.
ReplyDeleteSigh, I am not feeling like myself either. I have writer's block and don't want to read or write or anything. But you know I love this look on you, I don't know if it's the leather jacket or flower print dress, it just works. Kudos!
ReplyDeleteLooks like the right era to me ;) I need more casual dresses, I've decided.
ReplyDeleteLove the print on the dress and the colour really suits you :) I need to get better at finding things in thrift stores! It looks great styled with the jacket and boots! x
ReplyDeleteYes, a little grunge, but in the best possible way. The proportions are perfect.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely 90s, and I was a teen during them. Sigh...
ReplyDeleteThe 90s! Now you're talking my language!
ReplyDeleteUhm you look AMAZING. I love your thrifted dress.
ReplyDeleteLove the 90's! Here's my 90's grunge outfit post from a couple months back http://dirtypinkcardigan.blogspot.com/2011/08/here-we-are-now-entertain-us.html
