The Wardrobe Essential You Never Thought About

One Teaspoon Dress / American Apparel Bike Short / Metallic Supergas / Lisa Perry Clutch / Arrow Necklace / Wishbone Necklace

In true 90s baby form, I’m reviving the bike short. Virtually the greatest invention ever (and the latest wardrobe essential you never thought about), the bike short allows you to wear the shortest skirts/dresses and still live your life. AKA sitting in completely weird positions in my chair at work and also avoiding the creeps while walking up the subway staircase. But seriously. Today, I paired my bike shorts with this adorable denim dress by One Teaspoon. This easy summer dress is the perfect blank slate to take the look wherever you want it to go. I took mine a bit street style by adding gold sneakers and a literal statement clutch (hello!) Shop the links above to get my look and bring back your 90s bike short.

Vintage Suno. Need I say more?

Vintage Suno Tank via The Bargain District / J.Crew Shorts / Platform Supergas / Vintage Sunnies via Brooklyn Flea Market / Gorjana Bracelet and Sophie Harper Ring via Rocksbox / Outlette Necklace and Rings / Vintage Rings

Nothing says summer like a festive print and no one does prints like Suno. This vintage Suno top was one of the first things to catch my eye during my first meeting with The Bargain District. Crisp material, pastel pineapple print, AND crochet detailing... It was a done deal. One of my new favorite pieces in my wardrobe, I would pair this top with any white bottom or a contrasting print, like I did with a stripe here. The strong navy lines makes a nice contrast against the pastel and feminine qualities of the top. Finished with a simple white platform sneaker and my favorite 70s “Chloe-esque” sunnies, and you’ve got yourself a fresh look for the height of summer.

Channeling Drew

Zara Crop Top (similar) / Vintage Wrangler Jeans / Platform Surpergas

When I originally bought these jeans for a whopping $8 at (you guessed it) L Train Vintage, I knew they would be great with a big cuff, roll, or cut. But to my surprise, leaving them as is was just perfection. Starting with the jeans, I was struck with some outfit inspiration and decided to fully channel Drew Barrymore circa 1990. A crop top and white platform sneakers are all you need to complete the look without crossing a too literal 90s line. Clean, classic, crisp.

Street Style

Street Style- what is it? In my eyes, it's an elevated form of fashion. It pushes the limits, creates new ideas and inspiration. Ultimately, it's the looks that fashion editors and bloggers are wearing, usually to fashion week, that you instantly want to steal! The outfit I created above has just an instant "cool" feel about it. It's fun, different, and creative (or at least I like to think so!) Graphic tees and prints are trends seen on "the streets" that you want to try now, and this is a great way to mix the two!

Goodwill Vintage "Sweater Vest" (similar)/ J.Crew Denim / Vintage and UO Rings / Supergas / Revlon Just Bitten

Bringing a New Kids On the Block vibe to NYC. This outfit takes a trip back into the late 80s/early 90s with bright primary colors, graphic prints, and classic tennis shoes. While the look can air on the edge of a fashion flashback, I toned down a bit with cropped, dark skinny jeans and Supergas (aka: the new Keds). This is a great weekend outfit that makes a statement while also being casual and comfy! TGIF and enjoy the weekend!
