Guide to Boots and Shoes

- Chunky Boots, Ankle Boots, Chelsea Boots, Creepers
- Note: Hardware and Artillery is a bonus

Punk Revival

This is a really exciting category and includes many things that will work for us!
Leather Jackets (perfecto and motorcycle), Shorts, Skirts, embellishments, etc.
Plaid Shirts (around waist and under the leather jacket)
This also includes:
- T-shirts with provocative messages
- Skulls
- Red and black
- Riveting
- Leopard Print

Grunge Plunge

Ode to Courtney Love. Think Punk boots, Fishnets, Sweet Floral dress with a fuzzy chaneel sweater or giant faux fur jacket:
Other Grunge Ideas:
- Animal Print
- Combat Boots
- Distressed
- Camo/Military
- T-Shirts
- Boyfriend Jeans + Bralette



Trashy 90's Explosion

We all know about this one already, but here is the trash for fall...

Dropped armhole tops and dresses (if its a crop top, you're in business)

Overalls and Shorteralls with tights underneath for fall.
Mini School girl Skirts in plaid:

Other Ideas that are lacking photos for the 90's:
- Crop tops galore
- Velvet (dresses, tops)
- Mock neck sweaters and tops
- Cut outs

Sporty Spice

Sporty Spice sometimes is really playful but also can have a hint of dark (crossover with the grunge and punk). This look includes for us:
- Runners
- Sweat Shirts
- Bomber jackets
- Jerseys
- Mesh
- Mickey Mouse

Russian Princess

I've been waiting my entire life for this dream of mine to come true - wearable Russian Icons. Now I just need to find enough money to get a Dolce and Gabanna rendition (their runway show was incredible). Maybe not always just Russian princesses, but always "fit for royalty." For us, this look can be played through:
- Religious printed 90's tops (I've seen a few)
- Fur
- Gold
- Embellishments
- Norwegian wool sweaters
- Brocade
- Lace

Slick chic

Not sure what to call this look, it can sometimes be Patti Smith but sometimes gets a little too clean cut for Patti. Think white blouse, blazer, dress pants, black and white. Sleek, fresh, sharp.

Accessory Flash: Gold Chains

Chunky gold chains in necklace or bracelet form are a thing. Could be styled a few ways. Under a black Collar or under a badass leather jacket.

Wool Hats

These are at top shop, H&M, and pretty much everywhere. Bowler shape, cow-girl shape, big floppy hats. The girl that models for wild at heart vintage is a huge supporter (I love her) and also The Growlers should be given some credit.

Accessory Must Have.

Leather Ball Caps, or any Ball Caps. Black leather seems to be the most sought after. Looks great on girls with long hair.
