Drawstring Cargoes & Plaid Shirt
Grade: A +
Original Price: $24
Review:
This outfit is one of the most sought-after classics in the Girl of Today Line and there's no question why. While each piece can stand on its own as a basic, the outfit as a whole represents the epitome of fashion ... about two or three years before it actually came out, but still. As a girl living in the Pacific Northwest while grunge was all the rage, this outfit was an almost carbon copy of the clothes I saw teenage girls wearing on a daily basis and in middle school I had an identical bucket hat and khakki cargoes. Meanwhile, each of the pieces on its own is fairly standard and basic, with little to date it.
So, a great representation of what was popular, while still retaining an element of timelessness: perfect. What are the negative aspects? Well, while the outfit as a whole is great in terms of quality, the layering does make it seem frumpy and can be tricky to pull off. On to specifics:
Pros:
- Lots of pieces, great for mix and match!
- Quality construction.
- An accurate reflection of what girls were wearing at the time.
- Regular colors, not pastels.
Cons:
- The sweatshirt is hugely baggy and the sleeves are too short.
- The bucket hat is just a smidge too big.
