Daily Outfit: Vintage '90s

When I had a little break from classes, I went to Houston for a few days. My friends back home took me to some cool stores, including a vintage consignment store where I picked up this dress. (I love resale stores - I even wrote a guide on secondhand shopping when I first started this blog!)

I found it interesting because the dress was labelled "Vintage '90s." Since I was born in the '90s, I guess I never picture that era being truly vintage, but the decade began over 20 years ago... Maybe I'm just in denial about aging! Either way, I adored this dress, despite the somewhat short cut in the front, because of the asymmetrical silhouette and excellent fit.

It was really difficult to photograph the asymmetrical hem and the way it moves, but I assure you, it was gorgeous. I felt like a witch from American Horror Story: Coven all day (I don't watch the show, but I assume they feel confident and sassy. I could be totally wrong).

It's still a little too warm to add a lot of accessories, but I'm excited to see this dress make reappearances later in the fall and winter.

What do you consider "vintage"?

This dress is perfect on you! It's ultra flattering. I also always feel weird when I come across "vintage" items that are from my lifetime, but I think technically anything that was in fashion 20+ years ago is considered vintage? I always feel like it's kind of cheating... but I buy it anyway!

Thank you!

I feel weird about it too. Maybe it'll get less weird as I buy more newer "vintage" stuff? It's also so funny to see the styles come back into fashion, ha!

I was born in 1992 so I don't really remember the '90's but I also don't think of it as being vintage. Vintage to me is '70's or older.

I was born in 92 also! I totally agree, I usually think 70s or older as well.

That dress was made for you. Looks great. I love vintage and consider anything 20+ years vintage. But yea...weird to see 90s as vintage!

Thank you! It was a really good find and I'm so excited about it. I'm so in denial about my aging though!
