Trend Alert: Girly Grunge!

This trend takes its cue from the grunge theme of the 90's, but this time around its thankfully much more feminine.  The inspiration, however, remains the same- music, street fashion and youth culture.  The strong uprising of music festivals also contributes greatly to this fashion trend as it maintains the carefree attitude of Woodstock.  Ironically, what was once an anti-fashion movement now means layering and gaining a more elegant look.  This trend is more about layering contradiction than anything else; leather and lace, heavy sweaters with light under layers, pretty with tough, etc.

Here are some looks I find inspirational for this trend!

So here are some items that I have been idolizing over all month long. As I mentioned in a previous post, I went shopping! So I have purchased similar items to the ones above! I bought numerous light tops/blouses to be worn tucked in or over leggings from H&M, Aritzia and Bryans.  A similar double cross ring, but in gold from Aldo.  A cute pair of tan lace up small heeled sandals from Jules and James, a new tan belt and a gorgous peacock feathered neacklace.  Time can will only tell how long it will take untill I have purchased these items!
