"As If": The Cher Effect

In the past few seasons, what I like to call the Clueless influence has taken storm of the fashion world.  Basically, the fashions that were popular in the early to mid 1990s are resurfacing in shoes, clothing and accessories everywhere.

Remember the platform shoes that Cher and Dionne wore to class everyday?    A number of designers, including the European ASOS are releasing platformed sandals with thick straps and stacked heels, like the ones seen below.

The good thing about the resurgence of this trend?  Stacked heels and thicker straps are more comfortable than the stiletto heels that have become popular in recent years.  Let's hope this trend sticks around for a while.  

Like Brittany Murphy's character, Ty, Rihanna and a host of other celebrities have been spotted pairing combat boots with a more feminine ensemble.

Rihanna is seen below in leopard print knee over the knee socks by Wolford.  These socks are a nod to the knee-highs that Alicia Silverstone and Stacey Dash made popular in the mid-1990s.
