90's Fashion Flashbacks with denim and plaid

Is anyone else having fashion flashbacks to the early 90's? I'm seeing plaid shirts and "casual" sweatshirts (I'm sure I had one of those in aqua) and bold sweater patterns. And denim and chambray and denim and chambray. And I'm feeling these pangs of. . . haven't I been here before?

The denim thing is what really gets me because there was a time in the 90's when it was very popular to dress the whole extended family in a denim shirt and take a family picture. There are some families in some places (Idaho, let's be real, I'm talking about Idaho) who hung onto this for a long time. Like until last year. And now

TADA!

they are in style again.

Just get that denim shirt from the closet, now it's in style!

I think I had enough denim and chambray and that's why I'm having a tough time embracing it.

The denim shirtdress, I notice, is extremely trendy. Talbots has one, Lands End has one, Gap has two that look very denim shirtdressy . . .

And I'm just so confused. It all edges way, way too close to denim jumper.

Which I avoided the first time around.

Please. Comment. Tell me I'm not alone.
