I like to think I know a thing about two about fashion.
I have not one but two degrees in the subject (jus’ sayin’), the majority of my friends work in ‘the industry’ and I’d hazard a guess that I spend about 2/3 of my waking life on fashion blogs.
That said, it’s safe to assume that I know a bit about trends, about what might look good and what might not look so good, and that hopefully I am capable of knowing that even when something’s not my style, it can still be awesome.
I know that the '90s are back as a trend, and that grunge is in. I’m cool with that, because even though I was a child of the '90s, I enjoyed it so much that I’m happy to relive it. Plaid shirts and denim jackets and fringing are all things I can get behind.
What I can’t get behind is Whitney Port’s outfit. I don’t like to second guess what she was thinking when she put this on, but somewhere along the line, something went wrong. The t-shirt I kinda like in a gross 90s print way – I know it will sound like a lie, but this genuinely is basically identical to an Adidas t-shirt of my brothers I wore to a '90s party not so long ago.
She’s even done the tying it up at the waist trick! I could live with the shirt, but then your eyes start spazzing out and taking it all in. Why the matching earrings? They instantly destroy any coolness the shirt may have given. Matching your jewellery to your weird patterned shirt is too 90s in a literal sense… like, what I might have done when I was actually 10. If I’d been allowed pierced ears.
The money purse may well be Louis Vuitton but wearing it with this outfit just further cements your look as child of the '90s – as in, an actual child in the '90s, not someone channelling the decade.
The diamante detail shorts need no further explanation, other than to say that they’re fairly unflattering for such a bodacious body and that, well, they’re gross.
