I am totally dating myself here, but this just made my day (found through Refnery 29). It's a fashion blog about the Babysitter's Club - more specifically, an homage to its most uniquely stylish member: Claudia Kishi.
Did anyone else read The Baby Sitters Club books when they were kids? I totally ate them up. This blog causes the best kind of nostalgia overload. I love it. Here's a choice outfit quote from Claudia:
"Anyway, I wore the coolest tuxedo I'd recently bought in a thrift shop, including a silky, piped shirt and a bright red velvet cummerbund. I removed the shoulder pads from the jacket, which made it really slouchy (I love that look). Then I bought a pair of white socks with silver glitter.
I decided to wear a pair of red sneakers to match the cummerbund. I swept my hair up and fastened it with a rhinestone barrette in the shape of a musical note."

Amazing. I need to read some of these again.
*A little nugget of Babysitter's Club trivia I happened upon a while ago: the actress who plays Kristy in the BSC movie is Sissy Spacek's daughter. I love Sissy Spacek.
Oh my god! Why is nostalgia so addictive? This is a wonderful share, thank you. I was obsessed with The Babysitter's Club books as a little one. Obsessed.
