YES to that reference to noticing the kids starting to dress 90s! When I noticed that 90s were a 'thing’, I was like, okay, now I’m old, and these kids have no idea. The 90s felt a little irrelevant when I was in them - they were like: “Hey girls, wear this cute floral baby doll dress! Pair it with fishnets and Docs and it’s ‘grunge!’” And late stage (but pre-Hot Topic) goth girls were like: “sorry, I’m too busy dying this cheesecloth in tea so I can make a badass tank-top mini-dress out of it” (no-sew! Safety pins!) Then Hot Topic came along and turned goth girl style into cheap Halloween-store “sexy” cliches and SO MANY PEOPLE ARE STILL FALLING FOR IT. Don’t get me wrong here because I love Halloween. But now I just feel like a cranky old lady: “back in my day, we made our own clothes out of cheesecloth…”

I am the exact opposite--I ride with a style until the wheels come off, then I get bored and move on to something else. Yes, I am fickle like that.
