OH THOSE 70’S
Take me back to the 70’s, the era of beads, flowers, free-love, hippy-dippy hippies and let us not forget free love. “Make love not war” was the rally cry against the war in Viet Nam where a lot of young men died needlessly for “the man”. Although the awareness of antiestablishment was raised and fashion made a statement or no statement back then, it didn’t really matter because everything was cool man. Dudes had long hair, fu Manchu mustaches and some beards were as long as Methuselah’s. Many of the chicks resembled California blondes, long straight locks hanging down their backs that swished across their heart-shaped derrieres with every step, even though many of them would have looked sensational in a tattered flour sack.

Reality Bites for the Empire Records of Singles
The ‘90s were the epitome of nostalgia for me. I was in college, and I was starting my adult life while still having tons of fun. My friends and I would hang out, and we’d go to shows and concerts constantly. The music was incredible with the birth of grunge as well as some amazing hard rock bands. We were introduced to bands like Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, Mudhoney, Screaming Trees, Stone Temple Pilots, Rage Against the Machine, and Mother Love Bone. Music festivals were everywhere, from Lollapalooza to the Warped Festival and the H.O.R.D.E. tour to OzzFest. Being out and about was what we were all about.

Paisley Knows Best!
Anybody that knows me on a personal level is aware that I am very old-fashioned. I love old hairstyles, car designs, books, movies, music, and clothing choices. This challenge exists for us to relive a fashion trend or style that we want to come back into existence or something that invokes a sense of nostalgia. Something that takes us back in time to simpler days. Honestly, I love this challenge concept! Reliving fashion trends from decades ago that has, unfortunately, become retired is a great way to keep the memories alive.

Diversity and Fashion: What are the Most Influential Cultures?
The fashion world is bursting with inspiration, diversity, and creativity. Throughout the decades we have seen trends emerge, disappear and re-emerge. When it comes to clothing, we all have a particular style we strive to achieve with our everyday looks. But where do we get our inspiration from? With the emergence of social media platforms including Instagram and Pinterest, it has never been easier to find inspiration for our seasonal looks from trending celebrities and influencers.

The Freedom of the 90s
If there ever was a fashion time period that represented the times and the period I wish I was in longer than just 96 and beyond, it would have to be the defining decade of Generation X; the 90s. There was a style for everyone to take into consideration. Whether you liked the scruff look of grunge, or the flowery glitter montage of dELiA’s or Lisa Frank, you could have it your way. But I think I’ll go for the defining style of the hip hop boom.

Trends: Fashion or ecologically responsible materials
Now that I have reached the big 40, I have seen the fashions of my youth been revived, "updated", and become trendy again. However, even in my youth, I hated high wasted jeans, neon colors, stupid "fashionable" sunglasses, giant sneakers with scrunchy socks, scrunchy hair accessories, butterfly hair clips, slap bracelets, cargo pants, combat boots, overalls with one strap hanging loose, pants so baggy I could camp in them, etc.
