Double Denim

     My most recent obsession is with the 90's. I love the naked faces with a swipe of brown-red lipstick, baggy clothes, tank tops, everything. Don't ask me why. Five years ago I was convinced that although all trends seem to make their rounds through the population more than once in a lifetime, the nineties would never happen again. But for months now, I have been eating my words.

     When I think about double denim, I can't help but have that Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake combo that happened, pop into my head. It's not something one easily forgets. (May his denim cowboy-esque fedora rest in peace).
   
     Although this isn't exactly a "90's outfit", when I got ready listening to the catchy choruses of none other than the Spice Girls, it was no wonder my mother pointed out that my outfit was (no doubt) a modern take on the double denim trend.


     I'm wearing vintage Big Blue jeans, one of my father's white undershirts (they're always the best), a J Crew denim jacket (no longer available), and these Vagabond shoes (New York New York anyone?).

     You will find me to be extremely jealous (jealousy is not a good look folks. Don't do it) of any gorgeous woman who can pull off the "no-makeup makeup". Unfortunately, I am not one of them. I have tried, trust me. Best leave it to Bella Hadid and Angelina Jolie circa 1994.

   Let me know in the comments below what your latest obsession is. Have you too succumbed to the images of young Kate Moss and Gwen Stefani? Perhaps Topanga Lawrence or Aaliyah were more to your taste? Either way, I'm in love with them all!
