When I was posing in my street for these pictures a little girl stared at me and walked away with a big smile pasted on her face. Of course my inner little girl totally understood why: cotton-candy-pink combined with a silver skirt?! That’s the shit dreams are made of.
Not only am I channelling my inner little girl, I’m also channelling my inner Spice Girl. A friend of mine once referred to these Jeffrey Campbell babies as badass Spice Girl platforms and now I’m totally giving in to another trend made famous by the Spice Girls: the crop top. I love the effect of a bare midriff: showing skin in an unexpected place. Also kind of hoping to do this trend right this time around, as I don’t recall it looking particularly good on me in the late 90s/early 00s. I guess that is because back then the look included a belly button?! Whoever came up with that idea needs to be punished. Belly buttons are never pretty, but I guess that’s why people adorned them with belly button rings. Luckily I never caved in for a gaping black hole in my stomach. The only thing I’m left with now is a pierced clutch. Also, I feel very old taking this trip down memory lane.
