A few months ago, I hit up a The Kooples sample sale and it was high key, the best thing ever. I picked up around $2,500 worth of clothing for 90% off and the best part was, they had the full size range for almost every item there, so it's not like you had to dig to find something nice. This pencil skirt is one of my favorite finds from the day. It has some of the signature piercing details that The Kooples does on a lot of their clothes, but it's not overkill.

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
