my so-called nirvana

while i'm only 23, i grew up with older sisters, so i was fortunately exposed to the works of dr. dre's 'the chronic', tupac shakur, oasis, green day's 'dookie', beck, tlc's 'crazysexycool', salt n pepa, and so much more of what the early 90s had to offer. my after-school hours consisted of watching 'real world boston' and 'seattle' and the wonderful drama 'my so-called life' while my sister drooled over jared leto (he had the same effect on me circa 'requiem for a dream').

i think these elements of my early years been creeping up on me these days. i'm gravitating toward layered necklaces and chokers, and plaid shirts combined with my usual preference of biker jackets, denim and not washing my hair. these photos are actually recent and not from 15 years ago. (wow, were the 90s really that long ago?)

Oh I'm lovin' this so much--it's hilarious because just this weekend I put on something very very similar for my little thing I'm doing with Dusty Rose Vintage. I'll have the pics up as soon as they put the outfit up on their site.
but anyway....I'm so feeling the grunge thing right now; god I wish I could just raid your closet to aid in my want (scratch that), NEED, to dress like it's 1994 all over again.
And listen, I've got 7 years on you....grunge/alterna-teen days were my highschool--but you're doing it just right!
But I totally get the older sister thing--my older sister is 4 years older, so that explains my LOVE of HAIRBANDS....so what if it's wrong to still kinda dig Bret Michaels and to secretly want to try out for "Rock of Love". Uh, ummmm....yeah that's right....I just said I've still got a thing for Bret Michaels, and yes, I love POISON.

Hey honey!
haha I was in elementary school when Nirvana was huge. It's funny how trends re-merge every other decade. You look tres bad ass in your outfit--spot on grunge!
