My favorite part about heading back to school is the opportunity to go back to school shopping. As you can tell from my blog, I love shopping, and I’m obsessed with trying out new trends. You only live once right? This fall season, I’ve been noticing that the 90s vibe is coming back in style! I’m talking plaid skirts, oversized denim jackets, platform shoes, and anything neon. Since I’m in my last year of pharmacy school, I’ll be completing my 9 pharmacy rotations instead of heading back to campus. But don’t let this post fool you, I’ll be rocking my platform sneakers and plaid dress on the weekends and any time that I’m having fun instead.
H&M’s new 90s nostalgic collection is perfect to rock this back to school season if you want to test the waters of the 90s trends. They have some great pieces that are affordable and trendy. Plus you can’t beat the quality for the prices! In this blog post, I’m going to be showing you how I style some of the classic pieces from the collection in a modern twist. All of the pieces that I ordered online were true to size!
Outfit #1: Friends Tee + Plaid Mini Skirt
As a pear-shaped girl, I don’t normally go for miniskirts, especially the kind that are bodycon. I don’t normally find them flattering at all, but when I found this skirt online, I knew I had to have it. It’s a classic print and beautifully made. The best part is that I felt amazing when I wore this skirt! The shape of the skirt actually has a curve to it, making it literally perfection for a girl with curves like myself. For this look, I paired the skirt with this fun T-shirt from H&M that has the Friends logo across the front. If you’ve never heard of Friends before, it’s a classic 90s sitcom and the logo has become somewhat of a classic statement.
Outfit #2: Floral Flowy Dress
A floral dress is a classic piece from the 90s, and it’s super simple to style for an easy back to school look. I love wearing dresses to college classes, especially early morning ones or when I’m running late to school. You can easily throw a cute dress on and pair it with your favorite sneakers or sandals for a quick easy outfit. It’s a look without trying too hard!
Outfit #3: Corduroy Jacket + Plaid Mini Skirt
This skirt is the same skirt from the first outfit, but I loved it so much that I had to style it in a different way for you. I love a versatile piece in college. Typically, dorm room closets are super tiny so anything that I can style in more than one way is a bonus in my books. For this look, I paired the plaid skirt with a plain white tee with my favorite pink corduroy jacket (all from H&M). Most classrooms on campus are iceberg freezing so I always like to keep a jacket in my backpack, just in case I need something to cover my arms. This corduroy one is super soft and comfortable while also being incredibly cute.
Outfit #4: Oversized Denim Jacket + Plaid Bodycon Dress
One of my favorite pieces from the H&M Clueless Collection is this plaid bodycon dress. It just screams 90s to me, but the shape of the dress makes it more modern. This dress is pretty thick, so it would be perfect for the fall/winter season paired with some cute boots. I ended up pairing this outfit with an oversized denim jacket and some black Chelsea boots for an easy back to school look. Like I said before, you always need a cute jacket to throw on when you’re sitting in a freezing classroom. This denim jacket is literally the perfect oversized look that you could ask for. I’m obsessed with the jacket, and it’s a definite must-have if you’re looking for a good quality denim jacket for the fall season.
What trend from the 90s are you looking to try out or obsessed with? I honestly don’t have just one trend that I’m excited for. I’m obsessed with all things 90s so I’m loving that this style is coming back. If you’re heading back to school this fall, stop by H&M to pick up your new wardrobe. I promise that you won’t be disappointed. The prices and quality of the pieces are amazing! You can literally get a whole new wardrobe without breaking the bank, which is perfect for college students. *hint hint*
