'90s Child: Pleather and Plaid Picks

I was 4 when the '90s began, so technically this is my second go style-wise, but back then I was all about slip dresses, Appleton-alike parachute trews and skirts-over-trousers (once I'd moved on from Mothercare to Topshop, that is), so I'm having a whale of a time unleashing my previously spurned inner grunge goddess this time around... perfect for welcoming in the new season!

If you're a long-time reader, you'll know I harbour a long-time love for (p)leather - last winter, it was somewhat eclipsed by disco (pant) fever, but, this season, it's back with a vengeance! You've seen the skort; now feast your eyes on the pinny (yes - we can rock pinafores all year round!), cropped tee and high-rise trousers... oh, and a couple of pairs of '90s throwback ankle boots for good measure!

This year, it rather handily seems to make the perfect partner for the cascade of tartan showering down upon us too... Considering the enormous quantities of the stuff piling up in shops at the moment, the hunt for my perfect tartan shirt and kilt was surprisingly long and arduous, but worth it once I'd nabbed both with change from £30!
