When butterfly clips flew free.

Flared jeans, floral dresses, clompy sandals, those Calvin Klein logo sports bras, and god forbid, even bucket hats — it's all in again. In the words of Celine Dion: It's all coming back, coming back to me now.
I decided, hey, if the '90s want to come back so badly, why not bring them all the way back in the most hardcore way possible? I decided to see how many '90s outfits I could recreate from thrift stores and my own wardrobe to recapture the magic.
In the '90s, I, like many teens and tweens at the time, had an unhealthy obsession with the Delia's catalog. When a new one came in the mail, I melted into a puddle of joy. (Being a teen in the Midwest was pretty boring. So, yes, getting a catalog was pretty exciting for me.)
So when I revisited '90s fashion, I tried my best to recreate those Delia's model poses. Seeing myself as a Delia's model, my 14-year-old self would be... hmm, "proud" is not the word. Maybe mildly horrified? But that's OK. She can just deal with it.
The facial expressions of the models in the Delia's catalog were always 💯.
