Now I have a question...

Why does the entire Internet seem to think that the 90s ended in 1992?

If you google "90s fashion," all you get is images of stuff that carried over from the 80s, and disappeared quickly as grunge took over casual fashion. It's like no one remembers the last 7 years of the decade, for some reason.

When I think of 90s fashion, the first thing that comes to mind is earth colours and muted palettes. Olive green, grey, brown, beige, baby blue, off-white and mustard yellow. Orange actually being the new black, for a periode between 93-95. Pink being outlawed, along with belts. Dark denim. Extremely fine-wale cordury. Un-bleached linen. Low-rise, bootcut jeans. Button fly or laces instead of zippers. Plaid flannel shirts. Striped, rib-knit henleys and t-shirts. Spaghetti strap tops. Biker and combat boots. Floral button-down dresses worn with big shoes. Thin, cropped cardigans. Layered polo-shirts. Bucket hats. Everyone cutting their hair in layered styles like Jennifer Aniston, and/or dyeing it red like Claire Danes.

Anyone else remember this?

I almost bought a Tamagochi for my birthday, in 1997. The main reason I didn't, was that all they had left were chickens, and I wanted a cat or dog. They were $100, I think! I didn't want to pay that much for a pixel chicken!

LOL my dad went to 3 different stores in Chicago in 97 to find ONE Tamagotchi for me. I lost it a few months later...I wouldn't be surprised that he paid 100 dollars for it.
