I know it’s just days after Valentine’s Day and this could essentially be a Valentine’s Day DIY, BUT since I didn’t really think about it until last Thursday, and am posting it AFTER V-day, I’m labeling it under general cuteness and Denim & Jeans rather than Holiday DIYs, as I did with my DIY cut …

You can’t think of ’90s fashion without ’60s and ’70s styles coming to mind, well, I can’t anyway, because when I think back to some of my favorite looks of the time, they were either inspired by those decades, or quite literally taken from them. In the ’90s is when I started really shopping at …
