No one told me life was gonna be this way (clap, clap, clap, clap)!

McCall's has brought it all back. I am looking at the new fall release patterns and I feel like I am looking at the wardrobe from Friends, Season 1-3.

Point in case:
M6403

Is that not Rachel's one, two plaid shorts and tights combo or what? That beauty is McCall's 6403.

You may be asking, what is Stacie's problem here? No problem at all. I love fashions of the 90's and am happy to see them coming back. I lived through the 80's revival during which I frequently told my students, "Get your pants unrolled and out of your socks. It wasn't cute when I did it, and it's not cute when you do it. You'll thank me one day." I fully believe in about 15 years I will have cards and calls coming in from grateful former students that I did not let them get caught on camera looking how their kids are now dressing.

Back to McCall's, I also enjoy the Bongo style jeans of McCall's 6405. Not Audrina Patridge for Bongo, good old I have to go to J.C. Penny for some more Bongos when we are done smoking these cloves and before My So-Called Life comes on Bongos.

M6405
Even the kids are doing it these days!
M6389
This outfit (6389) brings back an awesome flannel shirt thrown over a T, AND includes the ever present hiking boots of the 90s. I am loving it!

I can't wait until flannel shirts come back. No really. I can't.

So there are a couple I really like and will make for the here and now without feeling too grunge yet.

M6407
McCalls 6407 is three cute jackets. I like the pink one with the scalloped sleeves and the one on the right without the scallops. Very cute light fall jacket for these non existent Texas winters.

M6402
I also especially like this pattern, 6402, and the gray skirt on the bottom right. Is it just me or could I make the one next to it, throw on a couple big safety pins, shorten it and totally go Britney circa Hit Me Baby One More Time?

Bringin' it back yo! I love the 90's!

I can't wait to see what the other guys release. There is a new Simplicity line out, but nothing grabbed me like this McCalls line. Odd, I'm usually totally into Simplicity. They had a cute Kate Middleton ISSA knock off though...

  1. Thanks for the flashback. I had a good laugh, but now I want to watch Friends for some odd reason.
