I can't believe I like this outfit - but I really do! The look, 100 % thrifted, is tres 1990s a la Phoebe from the sitcom "Friends" (the character would wear this type of dress, which was big in the 1990s). Key to the look is the drop-waist jumper-style dress (made in Canada) that I thrifted for less than four bucks (Stretch Thrift).
I'm wearing it with a thrifted white crop tee - again, so retro 1980s and 90s! (Stretch Thrift), a thrifted jean jacket (a few bucks at Canadian Thrift), and a thrifted costume jewellery pendant (by Miracle, an England maker) found at Goodwill last summer for six bucks.
Is it creepy I am so digging a look that I typically hate? I'm not a big fan of 1990s tent-dress style. But I felt good in this garb, and it was so - gasp - COMFY. Jeepers this is a sign I'm getting old! But I don't care - a colleague gave me such a compliment the day I wore it (you're so stylish, she said) that it can't be a complete fashion disaster!
You're right - that is so Phoebe from friends! I think you can rock any look at all !
ReplyDeleteThe Elaine Benes look is in! I only wonder what shoes you chose with this outfit?
ReplyDeleteyep it is definitely a Phoebe look!
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks, that is sweet! It makes me smile to dress like her as she was such a lovable wacky character.....
ReplyDeleteRRR - I COULD have worn ballet flats to really max out the 90s factor, but I opted instead for some thrifted Italian sandals!
Vonlipi, bang on eh? Funny, I'm sure I had a jumper-dress like this in the 1990s - it was navy blue and slightly more tent-like!
Yes, so very Phoebe. And Elaine too, but only if worn with two tone Hush Puppies. (I had three pairs myself, back in the day!)
ReplyDeletemonogirl, you and RRR are right: the look is Elaine! Except I don't have big hair, tee hee. No Hush Puppies - gee don't think I had them back then, even.
