Remember the days of 1993? The days when Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain were a hot item, Julia Roberts was the “it girl” showing up on screens everywhere and we were rifling through our dad’s closet looking for the perfect over-sized plaid shirt.

These were the 90’s – unexpectedly making a return to the fashion scene.

What better a time in history to draw inspiration for QSW’s “Pretty Tough” or ” Tomboy Chic” look. Denim ruled, over-sized exploded and messy hair was a must. All twisted together with a little femininity.

Dive into 1993, be inspired – it may cause middle school anxieties – but forget it. Embrace the woman you are now and pull out your boyfriend’s jeans, rip off the arms of your old jean jacket and lace up your doc martens.
