i wanted a slip dress so bad when I was 11, 12 years old. The most close I ever got was some sewn together white t-shirt + green floral slip dress WalMart was selling in the Summer of 1995 right as the trend was dying.
Yeah, it was similar to the one the lady in the cigarette ad from the same magazine is wearing.
Yes, Catherine, the doll look was big at this time, and into the Spring of 1995. With the thigh high stockings and the shiny Mary Jane shoes. I wanted those thigh highs too, back then, but you know, I was 12, and fat.
Lace (white!) bike shorts you guys. Lace.bike.shorts.
This is how I associate the black slip dress, with a white top of some sort underneath it.
So many white socks. Like the bagged sock aisle at walmart in present day.
Pair your black slip dress with:
I just realized, I accidentally put that yellow arrow there. Ignore that.
black eyeliner. Molton Brown doesn’t make makeup anymore.
White shoes.
I could’ve sworn I posted an article earlier this year about white shoes coming back in style in 1995, but now I can’t find it. I can’t get the archive to pull up right now. Here it is.
The darkest lipstick you can find with your boob almost hanging out.
a cat eye that looks like it would fit right in in 2017.
