Vintage Character: Lelaina Pierce


Movie: Reality Bites
Year: 1994
Character: Lelaina (Laney) Pierce
Played By: Winona Rider

"After college, Lelaina (Winona Ryder) films a documentary about herself and friends as they flounder in their attempts to forge relationships and begin careers. Vickie (Janeane Garofalo) works retail, has an endless string of one-night stands and awaits the results of her HIV test. Sammy (Steve Zahn) tries to come out to his parents. Lelaina gets involved with yuppie Michael (Ben Stiller) while maintaining a love-hate relationship with Troy (Ethan Hawke), who's undergoing an existential crisis."

Reality Bites is a good look at 90's slacker fashion. Laney rocks maxi dark tiny floral print dresses, platform Mary Janes, button down cotton blouses, linen pants and laced up oxfords. Basically everything you want in your closet right now. 



Some Laney inspired vintage!

Label Love: The Gap

It was 1987. I was just entering the 7th grade and I was a sucker for everything Reebok and Gap. I was a tiny little yuppie in training. While my love for Ronald Reagan and hi-top aerobic sneakers in every color of the rainbow waned, my love of the Gap did not. I still love the Gap.

Does Andie not rock the denim on denim look? Swoon with the bandanna belt!
