Why Did You Wear That: Mad for Plaid

By |February 1st, 2012|Personal Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

They say what goes around comes around and just like the 80’s, the 90’s are now making a comeback.  Whether you’re a product of the 90’s or you just remember the decade fondly, you are probably relieved to be able to revel in a little bit of  nostalgia not involving sweatbands and permed hair.  A time when grunge music took center stage, so did many of the fashion trends that went along with it.  Flannel shirts and shaggy hair were par for the course and while I do not condone actual “grunge,” I love the undone edgy look. I snatched this particular shirt from my mom’s house, so it very well may be from the 90’s, but it probably won’t be too hard to find one of your own.
