90'S DANCEHALL CHIC: INSPIRATION CHAKA DEMUS&PLIERS' "MURDER SHE WROTE" VIDEO

I was inspired this week to blog about oldies fashion after ZIP FM (www.zipfm.net) had "throwback tuesdays". I love oldies dancehall and the videos! It's always cool to see fashion from back in the days and how they've come full circle to be some of the trends we wear now. "Murder she wrote" by Chaka Demus&Pliers is my fave retro dancehall video for fashion. Who can forget Carlene the "Dancehall Queen" in the gold diapers/bloomers???? WOW!

I found pieces on some of my favorite websites that were inspired by what I saw in the video, I left the bloomers alone though lol... Try out some of these looks!
