Y2K Denim Dress

 Hello, and thanks for stopping by my blog today!

I have really been reeling through the decades

 the past couple of weeks with my outfits!

 Last week I posted a 1940's look 

and this week I am wearing a retro Y2K dress

This light wash denim dress is from Lucky Brand

 It's hard to believe it has been in my closet since

 the early 2000's! I wore it a lot back then

and have many happy memories from that time wearing it

It is such a cute dress with lots of fun details

and an adjustable waist with a sash belt

 I think I will pass it on,

 because a lot of women in their 20's now are really into Y2K

Many of them love thrifting and buying second hand fashion

for it's uniqueness, the fact that a lot of these items are

 much better made than what is being turned out today

and to limit consumption. And also to save money

I am very happy to see a new generation

  joining this movement!

 

I have heard that if you wore a fashion the first time around    you are too old to wear it when it comes back around

I do not subscribe to that fashion rule

 For one reason, trends are cycling back so fast

with fewer and fewer years in between

 and for another, with the right accessories classic items can certainly look modern again

 What do you think about this fashion rule?

This is one of my favorite new bags

 I got for Christmas last year

 I just love the bold red and white stripes

and contrasting navy blue handle

A few accessories for this casual outfit

A red and white striped seersucker headband

with an asymmetrical bow, and some silver tone jewelry

 Silver tone seemed right

 with this light wash of denim 

Adding an interesting scarf around my neck

 This one has four quadrants with two different patterns,

 a large and small polka dot, and a large and small paisley print

Wearing my white lace sneakers

 to finish this casual look 

 Out shopping I have been noticing back to school banners everywhere. It makes me a little sad for the K through 12 kids who are reminded already of their school supply list and new clothes for the fall academic season so soon!

Hope you are enjoying your summer!
