i love the 90s

[swissmiss04]

the popularity of SUVs
the Starbucks/coffeehouse trend
Dave Matthews Band
the Rachel shag
ER
cutting your hair in short layers and putting it up in that itty bitty ponytail thing
the deep berry lipstick
the clueless look
the amazing economy
hiking/camping wear being cool even if you were nowhere near an outdoorsy type person


since the 90s were sort of "my" decade i will definitely miss them!

Or - not an origional 90's thing but something I did in the 90's - friendship bracelets that you made at camp with the beads and string.

-WWJD?
-How expensive CD players were in the early 90s
-Brooks & Dunn

-The Body Guard & the infamous song (I will always love you)
-Milinuim New Years (is the power going to go out?)

Do you guys remember those little plastic shirt ties? They were neon colored and you put the excess of your baggy shirt through it, and it sat to the side of your hip. They were used to go with the shirts you wore over your leggings. Completing this look were those giant slouch socks (two pairs/two different colors that you alternated on each foot ala punky brewster) and high tops. Maybe this was just my elementary school though!

My Heart Will Go On-- and I still love that song!

[nucutiepie]

The GRUNGE trend! So unattractive on everyone! But a lot of good music came out of that... Pearl Jam, Nirvana, etc.

The Real World! What a classic show... one that I still love!

And, Clarissa Explains it All on Nickelodeon and all of the truly heinous fashions she wore.

Speaking of heinous, CLUELESS!!!

... God I love the '90s!!!
