I love scrunchies.

There comes a point, when a trend progresses far enough that it regresses to an affordable state.

Case in point: the 2012 fall fashion week runways and the 1990s. (more here & here)

Frankly, it's a bit odd. Being alive for the resurgence of a trend that originated within my very lifetime makes me feel...old.

And uncool. And like I probably shouldn't be so willing to embrace a trend that I only recently deemed so worthy of blackmail.

This outfit here might be considered the love child of Levar Burton, Angela Chase, and Xena the Warrior Princess, if zygotes formed form trios and Xena wore shirts.

So though my shoulders may not rival those of Balmain, I think the fact that they contain mini rainbows more than makes up for their lack in size.

Cheers.

Loving this sweater – it is, as you mention, so gloriously '90s, and the little rainbows are rad.

i couldn't agree more that seeing the 90s come back is making me feel ancient. imagine how our parents must feel when we're digging through their closets in search of vintage clothes! love this outfit and pretty much anything and everything that makes reference to levar!
