My first thought when I saw these campaign images from the Primark high summer collection: Why, hello 1995, good to see you again!
Yes, the dungarees, the obsession with American sport styling, the grungy 'I love Kurt Cobain' attitude: all reminiscent of a very young and very uncool me in the 1990s. And I remember really wanting a pair of those round Liam Gallagher sunglasses too! This is definitely a collection reminiscent of my youth:
Fluro Dungarees £13, White Vest £2.50, White Trainer £6, Round Clear Sunglasses £1.Varsity Crop Top £6, Boyfriend Jeans £15, Strap Heels £12, Fringe Bag £8
Knitted Varsity Crop £7, Printed Shorts £4, Spike Necklace £8, White Trainer £6, Denim Duffle Bag £6, Ring £3
Aztec Print Cut-Out Dress £15, White Trainers £6, Sunglasses £2.50, Earrings from £2.
Oversized baseball top, £6.White sunglasses, £2. Pink trainers, £6.
I am so tempted to give dundarees a go, but I just know they wouldn't suit me! I do like the much more curve-friendly cut out detail Aztec dress though: rather than the trainers, I would team it with a satchel and tan wedges instead.
I love all of these looks, but following the old adage that if you can remember a trend from the first time around you shouldn't wear it, I won't be adopting a full-nineties look! Instead I think I'll incorporate a few details into my usual look: hello, new found obsession with neon!
Have you tried the nineties trend? Would you incorporate any nineties details into your wardrobe?

PS - This is a pre-scheduled post and as you're reading this I am picking up the keys to our new house! We officially own it from today, and we move in later this week, after we've finished painting the upstairs. I couldn't be more excited: obviously a full post, complete with pictures, will follow!
My initial thought was how easy this years looks were going to be to create from last years purchases: nudes and pink sheers and chiffons are still very much a focus, as they were when I filled my wardrobe with them from Topshop last summer.
Harem pants aren't going anywhere, with the saggy crotch a continual feature: i'm yet to find a pair that suits me, but I love the way they look in editorials. Brogues are also set to stay, as are the chunky strappy heels we've seen so much of in the past six months.
The "urban traveller" feel is also present, something I remember seeing in a Vogue editorial last summer and now recreated by our favourite high street store. It seems to be like yet another take on the safari trend, but this time in a more baggy way.
