nineties inspired

I never thought I’d see the day where I’d go to a nineties costume party, mainly because that decade still seems too recent to be ripe for “retro” costume party fodder. However, it’s over twenty years since the beginning of the nineties and I am, in fact, going to a nineties-themed party. Because I was still very much a child during this decade, I didn’t get to watch many of the seminal TV series and films associated with the nineties until I was well into my teens/twenties. My nineties looked something like this: lots of overalls and bike pants, Fun Dip, The Baby-Sitters Club, Samurai Pizza Cats, Spice Girls, Goosebumps, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, dolphins (lol), and countless afternoons terrorising the neighbourhood on my hot pink BMX bike. With that in mind, I started to workshop a nineties outfit with items readily available in stores. It also gave me a reason to finally buy a pair of dungarees (not that I needed much persuading). All that’s left now is to party like it’s 1999.
