Inspiration Files | A Little Bit Grunge

Fashion-inspiration

Seven years ago today, you might have found me at the thrift store. In the boys’ department. Looking for grungy band tees and vintage Levis. Don’t believe me? Okay, I don’t blame you. But I have something even more shocking to share: I still have some of those shirts, and I’ve been aching to mix them into my wardrobe today.

Through the years, my wardrobe has somehow become more refined. If you peek inside my closet, you’ll find a rack full of ladylike skirts, instead of shelves full of worn jeans. Polka dots, ruffles, and pleats have crept in and edged out the… well, the edgier things. But lately I’ve been thinking more about blending my inner groupie with my outward Minnie Mouse, and these photos are just the inspiration I need.

  5. I love the second one and the last skirt! really pretty. band tees are always fun.

  6. Oh, please do!! I’m a graphic tee-and-jeans girl, but I’ve started buying girly vintage pleated skirts and am about to attempt mixing them, cuz I want to keep my inner rocker in the vintage mix. I’d be mucho inspired! :)

  7. I would love to see you in something like this. I’ve got a quite a few of my old band tee’s that are wanting to make an appearance as well. Great inspiration here!
