This skirt is one of my favorite pieces of clothing. I love its bold pattern, its glitter factor, and the straight silhouette. Originally, I was going to keep everything else simple, only pairing it with black items, so that the skirt could stand out. However, I was feeling a little bit more daring and wanted to wear something that would hopefully grab TokyoFashion's interest if I were walking along the streets, so I added a key chain I picked up a long time ago in Japan and a jacket cluttered with patches.

Re-watching Clueless the other night reminded me just how much I love the 1990s fashion in this film. It was the antithesis to the grunge movement, creating this kind of pretty, kind of preppy  West Coast look. If nothing else, this movie just really supports my view that plaid mini-skirts are a must.
Cher Horowitz's enviable wardrobe of matching plaid skirts, mini skirts, and preppy meets SoCal layering pieces are the stuff dreams are made of and it doesn't hurt that Cher has a stylish BFF too, Dionne. Cher is also one of the few people out there who is able to pull off cute workout outfits and gym clothes are rarely cute. (Remember our baggy high school PE uniforms? The worst, right?) It makes you only wish that you had a chance to look that chic during high school.
For those of us who still want to cop Cher's super cool mix of school girl chic and 90s fun, here's my edit:

Skirt: Topshop
