3/3/2018 0 Comments Throwbacks: 90’s EditionI was so excited to get started on this post as soon as I found out my school was going to have us dress up for the 90’s. Of course I waited last minute to buy my clothes-because I honestly had nothing 90’s in my closet and as it turns out, not many people did-but I honestly had a hard time figuring out what exactly defines the 90’s. I mean, 80’s is easy-that’s Madonna with the fishnet tights and leg warmers and tutu’s; 70’s was peace and love, bell bottoms, hemp necklaces and Fleetwood Mac, but 90’s...
I think it was supposed to be an easy decade since it’s the closest to the 2000s which is when I was born but honestly, I struggled a bit trying to figure out what to wear. At first I thought: oversized sweater, leggings, leg warmers and sneakers but that’s still 80’s. Then I said the plaid school girl skirt could work but it snowed on Friday and I really didn’t want to be cold so I needed to find pants, but unfortunately I don’t own a pair of tear-away pants (you know the ones with the snaps going all down the side?) so I settled on jeans. I ended up in Marshall’s late that Thursday night with the comfiest pair of fake jean pants-they have elastic at the top, just the right amount of flare although they’re undoubtedly too long for the rain with the biggest pockets ever-a jean jacket (that I desperately needed anyway) and the cutest cherry and polka dotted print crop top. A little breezier than I had hopped but it definitely did the trick and paired with my converse I’m pretty sure I would have rocked in the 90’s. Although, a lot more girls had the style down. I have to give props to my school, they really outdid it with the huge bomber jackets, bandanas, and overalls. I didn’t go to the dance that night which I’m only slight bummed about-I would have stayed just for the music-but YouTube, Spotify, Pandora and whatever else you use to stream music are your friends for days like those. They tried to give us ways of looking for inspiration by referring to Fresh Prince of Bel-Air but with that being your only reference I had to do a bit of research on my own so here’s a list of my favorite 90’s shows. Let me down below if you’ve watched or recognize a few! The Nanny (1993-1999)- I used to watch this show when I was in eighth grade on repeat. I loove Fran Fine (Drescher) and of course the banter between C.C. Babcock and Niles was classic. If you asked me now I’m pretty sure I can still sing The Nanny Named Fran without missing a beat. Sister Sister (1994-1999)- Tia and Tamara are my favorite! I followed them all until the aired their Twitches movie on Disney (remember that?) all the way to their reality show; watching them get married, have their kids and now they’re still doing TV with Tamara on The Real and I think Tia is cooking now. Best twins ever. Charmed (1998-2006)- The best and first witch TV show I’ve ever watched. These three sisters were the best to watch on an early Saturday morning. Full House (1987-1995)- I would watch this on Nick at Night until 3, 4 o’clock in the morning along with The Nanny and Friends. I loved this family. And my favorite, “You got it dude.” Friends (1994-2004)- I first want to give a shoutout to my best friend Imani who has literally watched this show three consecutive times in a row, replaying each episode like she’s seeing it for the first time. I love you girl! LOL. But I love this show as well. The best group of friends you could have, I think, with the perfect amount of comedy. Definitely a show to watch with friends (you see what I did there? Okay, I’m done.) Family Matters (1989-1998)- My great aunt always used to play this show when I would come over before school. I always thought it was the best show to watch in the morning because it was so funny but Urkel, of course, was everyone’s favorite. Fresh Prince of Bel Air (1900-1996)- Okay, I have a guilty confession. I did not grow up watching Will Smith. *gasp!* The horror. I know, but in my defense I watched it as I’ve gotten older and who can’t love this old 90’s classic? The fashion, the humor, the family and of course, the dancing. Iconic! And it will forever go down as a house hold favorite. Saturday Night Live (1975-present)- Still going on strong, Saturday Night Live is everything they say it is and that’s funny. The regular cast they have now is who I enjoy watching the most. The Powerpuff Girls (1998-2005)- I still watch this show now, late at night at my Grandma’s, but I love this cartoon and I needed at least one on this list so why not? Sex and the City (1998-2004)- Granted, its a little late to the 90’s you can’t tell me that those fabulously fashionably ladies were not some serious 90’s style icons. And that’s it for my throwback to the 90’s! I hope you all enjoyed, I definitely had fun making this and learning about some of my favorite shows’ history. Let me know what you think about the 90’s.
