My 90’s posts below are a precursor to this post or why I loved the 90’s. Foremost I grew up during this period so I have some happy memories. Though the fashion wasn’t and isn’t considered the best and most just think of oversized and grunge-like attire, I was instead rocking what I like to call ghetto afro-chic. Now let’s not get the use of ghetto mixed up with trashy or poor type get up because I was looking slamming! The afro-chic is due to my mother and her idea of mixing African pieces with Western style; so whilst I was rocking a Diana Ross type afro I was also rocking black leggings paired crop top with African design (must find pics). I must remind you I was pretty young 5+ but damn did I look fierce! The 90’s for me were when I stayed out all day rollerblading or biking through the woods, playing football or having water fights, when penny sweets actually cost pennies and I could get on the bus with just my big smile. I remember the high-top hair styles the boys use to rock and when Nike and Adidas were where it was at, does anyone remember Hi-Tech?
Not to say the 90’s were perfect, of course not let’s not forget dear old Thatcher or John Mayor; however for me and my memories of being a youth through this decade the 90’s where blissful. I like that people now are embracing some of the goodies of the 90’s like the one-sided hair-styles, high-waisted trousers/shorts and denim is back on track.
What is your favourite era past or present?
I leave you with these gems:
