Happy New Year! I've been holed up with shingles for the past few days, which has been AWESOME (not). But it has meant I've had time to pull together some 'My So-Called Life' inspired outfits after observing a lot of Angela and Rayanne over Christmas. I dissected some of their style do's here, in case you missed it.
As their one main rule of dressing seems to be Thou Can Never Have Enough Plaid, I flung myself deep into check shirts, check pockets on dungarees, and even check shoes. All of which I grabbed from ASOS (the dungarees and shoes were on sale...).
While I'm not that into going the full Rayanne Graff hog and wearing maxi tie dye shirts, I am into the way she does layering and floral prints. This dress (above) is from Glamorous, about whom I know absolutely nothing, except that I like what they're doing. Of course Angela would never wear a strappy dress without a T-shirt underneath it or a plaid shirt on top, so I did both. The tights are navy, which isn't really much a departure from the black I feel so comfortable in, but it's all about baby steps, right? I'm not quite ready to do opaque purple, but I'll get there.
I also took the opportunity to try out my best Angela Chase cry face, although I don't think I've quite nailed it yet...
Or maybe her longing for Jordan Catalano face?
Now I just need to have my life constantly soundtracked by an emotional internal monologue and I'll be all set.
