Mod Mob: Looking Back to the 90's


This week we are celebrating all things Irish. Mobette and good friend Olivia, suggested a theme for a post. It comes from a conversion we had at work which left us reminiscing and laughing at our style in the 90’s and the general terms we used and remembered.

Coming over from Liverpool at the awkward fashion age of 13. Think bright shell suits and puffed up  pineapple style hair do. No gel in those days. Just swept back with force! Music caught hold in my early teens, and so to granddad shirts, ripped jeans and Nirvana Tees. I even owned a navy fleece...UH!





 It was always battle to get my wardrobe right, so I ended up with it mostly...horribly wrong!
Can you remember what else was fashionable? What do you remember about your own  fashion faux-pas growing up in Ireland in the 90’s?


 Let’s embrace 90's style!
Do you Remember...

Pop button tracksuit pants – God help you in the wind!
Flared jeans – So flared your shoes wouldn’t get a look in
Nike Air Max and Reebok trainers/tackies/runners - with a pump?


Pale Denim coat – Had to be Wrangler or Levi. 
Skirt-Pants -  a pointless garment consisting of a pair of jeans with a skirt sewn on top
Parachute pants – trousers with lots of strings hanging out everywhere
Darkest tan tights – For teenage disco ‘s
Doc Martin Boots - red




Those awkward but Fun years!..Hitch hiking, long summer nights, bushing and teenage discos. 
When a boy would say to your friend “ Eh, my friend wants to know will you Shift him”.
 In Cork it was “ Meet...Sure how could you say no!
