Believe it or not, but I was majorly and forever influenced by fashion from Nickelodeons 90's series "Clarissa Explains it All" (I mean..who didnt love and adore??). Embarking on preadolescence, I admit I was totally jealous of her "friend" Sam who always paid visits via the ladder to her second story window, and the fact that she had her OWN phone which she totally bedazzled with all these cool things (dont worry, that inspired a whole series of "hobbies" including deconstructing and redecorating my own gadgets and thrown out plastic phones...um can we say NERD alert). But what sticks out in my mind the most is that she was truly an individual in her own right. Her crazy outfit combinations matched her wild room and I wanted it all. To me she epitomized my ideal "cool" girl with no limits in wacky fashion combinations and the most awesome bedroom ever to match her spunk. While I'm not saying that she is my style icon nor fashion influencer today...she forever reminds me of the time when I first "discovered" fashion and why it should be fun. Ahhh...nothing like a little 90's nostalgia.
