Reality Bites

In homage to the complete 90s moment that I and everyone seems to be having, I got a little more fun with my Flashback Friday posts. I loved Reality Bites, even though at the time when I saw it, it was really emotional and I didn't understand why. I grew up some more and now I understand. Reality, it does bite sometimes. Ethan Hawke was just too smart, Winona was just too pretty, too pouty, but we know they'd end up together eventually. Given that, I dug all the way bag to 2011 and realized that I have been harboring a little 90s love all the way back then, too. Wearing a sheer, collared, sleeveless, crop top and my Theory tapered pants, I decided that not only will my newly shorn 90s bob good in this, but I could also add my 70s-esque Miu Miu sky-high clogs. I'm no Winona, but let me tell you, it's fun to pretend sometimes —minus that whole shopping felony, misdemeanor, or whatever she ended up with. 

Flashback Friday: The Highs + Lows

The time was 2011, my hair was super short and the hems were both high and low. I remember it well,  The attempts to make "beachy curls" happen on my short hair. It worked in a haphazard sort of way, but let's say I've literally grown out of it. I still have this dress in my closet. I think I should donate it though, since it's been far too long since I've worn it. I'll let someone else enjoy the hi-lowness  while I save my money for other things. Like a house in the East Bay (!!).
