When the husband took these pics, he said that the thick-treaded boots and loafers looked very monster truck Barbie. And although he was talking about the shoes, I couldn't help but think that it was a sentiment that also applied to the outfits. Because each ensemble includes at least one thing from Dolls Kill -- in other words, hints of Bratz, Monster High, and other similarly sinister playthings -- just like a tasty but not-quite-top-shelf vintage. There are also notes of plaid, stars, and sushi. And plaid, of course, means the '90s and the lumberjack-meets-prep sweet/tart 'tude that goes with them. So, we're not just talking cranberry wine, but also -- yes -- The Cranberries. That said, let's raise a glass -- wine or Ocean Spray, you decide -- to dressing up as versions of who we once were with a spit spritz of somebody else. In my case, an aging, rave-raging schoolgirl.
Even if I've never ever been to a rave and am terrified of zombies.
Except for the song "Zombie" That I love. It's an anthem that transcends time and produce.
Especially when Andy sings it on The Office.
