I've never hidden the fact that I am a huge fan of the 90's: 90's TV, 90's movies, 90's music and, yes, even 90's fashion. Sure, there are some things that were a really bad idea (one strap overalls and scrunchies, I'm looking at you here). But some of the trends from the 90's have made their way back to mainstream fashion again and they are doing pretty well. Leggings and billowy/long shirts are current fashion staples, amiright?
But let's talk about plaid.
Plaid (particularly plaid flannel shirts) was, like, essential for 90's grunge.

Luckily, today's plaid comeback version is less grungy and a little more chic. While a casual way to enjoy plaid is in the classic flannel, it's more a more fitted cut
. I've enjoyed seeing the various patterns of plaid in blouses, often paired with cardigans, cropped jackets or under sweaters. The pop of pattern is eye-catching and fun.So when I saw this pin:
I knew I needed to make it my next Pinterest Picture Perfect recreation!
I love how the plaid is paired with the contemporary skinny jeans (as opposed to the baggy jeans of the 90's), with a belt and layered with a cardigan. And ::squeeeee:: for more of my current statement color YELLOW. I found the shirt during the same shopping trip where I got my polka dot blouse at the insane J. Crew sale. I saw it and it identically matched several pins I had saved on my My Style Pinterest board. And at almost 70% off, what's a girl to do?
(Since the sale is over, you can find a similar plaid blouse
here)Here's my pinspiration recreation:
How'd I do?

How are you making fashion INSPIRATIONS into REALITIES?
