\"90s<\/a><\/p>\n

Hello and happy Friday, vintage lovers!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

For those of you born in the ’80s like me, you know the ’90s fashion trends<\/a> well — almost TOO well, since you lived the decade during your hormone-driven\u00a0adolescent \u00a0years.<\/p>\n

I was a teenager of the ’90s influenced by the fashion I saw on MTV, Seventeen Magazine<\/em> and in the stores at the mall.<\/p>\n

I watched Carson Daly’s TRL<\/em> on a daily basis, taped the glossy pages of\u00a0magazines\u00a0to my bedroom walls and saved my allowance money to buy cheap jewelry at Claire’s. Oh yes — you remember those days, vintage lovers, I know you do!!!<\/p>\n

Analysis of the spring 2012 trends has concluded now that the European shows officially wrapped, and one of the most shocking style influences to emerge is from — you guessed it! — the ’90s<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Don’t roll your eyes just yet, vintage lovers! Now that we’re officially in decade two of the new\u00a0millennium, I argue that fashion of the ’90s<\/a> is technically a vintage era, even if referencing a trend that’s less than 20 years old.<\/p>\n

Thankfully for our vintage spring wardrobes<\/a>, the trends designers were influenced by most were interpreted in futuristic, forward-thinking ways. Sexy, sporty mesh, practically posh windbreakers and lux silk shorts with rounded edges are some of the styles you’ll want to buy vintage to get the 2012 spring\/summer look.<\/p>\n

Keep reading after the jump for more on just how the last decade of the 20th century returned to the runways this year, and how you can get those styles from the days of their true vintage prime!<\/p>\n


\nWhat I love most about this post is the realization that as I age, more of what is most familiar to my past becomes within accessible vintage reach.<\/p>\n

The vintage fashion industry of vintage enthusiasts, buyers and sellers runs the gamut of ages and demographic. You have women in their twenties like myself who wear vintage in a modern, experimental way while women in their forties and fifties prefer a particular era that came before their fashion time, like the ’40s or ’50s.<\/p>\n

Then there are still other ladies who only dress in the classics which are the most valuable and hard-to-find pieces of vintage eras from long, long ago.<\/p>\n

While the ’90s seems like just yesterday, the reality is the vintage loving youth of today — think tweens & teens — did not live that style era and therefore view it as vintage from their personal perspectives.<\/p>\n

So while you still may have those mesh shirts hanging in your closet, your 14-year-old cousin is going to look at it for its vintage worth more than you.<\/p>\n

The world is an ever-changing, ever-evolving, ever-moving place. And I’m excited to announce that with the inevitable change in time, the ’90s are officially VINTAGE!<\/p>\n

I would love to hear your thoughts on favorite ’90s style<\/a> and your own memories from this epic fashion era! Let me know on Facebook<\/a>, Twitter<\/a> and email<\/a> — cause the Internet was only available to the public beginning in 1991!!<\/p>\n

have a great weekend everyone! <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
