I mentioned the other day that I had been watching "My So Called Life" and was loving the oversized plaid shirt look. Then I went into Urban Outfitters and realised that they have nailed this trend.
Conquering the 90's grunge trend:
Plaid shirts - that means checks and tartan style fabrics!
Navajo jackets
Denim
Heavy boots like Doc Martins or Converse sneakers
Black eyeliner
You can either hunt for vintage items (is it vintage if it's only from the nineties?!) or buy new from places like Urban Outfitters or Topshop. This look works best on tall, skinny girls (unfortunately) as they can layer up and wear boyfriend sized items without looking dumpy! Think Kristen Stewart on a super moody day.
Here are my favourite pictures from around the net to inspire you.....

What to buy and where to buy it:
 |
| Plaid jacket from Topshop |
 |
Ecote Blue Plaid Grunge Shirt £42.00
from Urban Outfitters.
|
 |
| Aztec Rucksack £48 from Urban Outfitters |
 
Dr Marten's X Liberty Aisha Boots £120
from Urban Outfitters

Right, well my pictures all seem to be going all wonky now and Blogger has taken on a mind of it's own so I'll leave it there! This trend is great because it's super comfy and not too "try hard."
If it looks like you threw in a bunch of clothes and ran out the door then you've nailed it!
P.s Hey Blogger, where did my signature go? And why are you writing so small? This isn't the caption! Sheesh.
