So what started on Friday as a Babysitter's Club video marathon; ended up becoming an entire weekend thing.
Well, only Friday did I play up the whole "I'm from the 90's", the other days were spent trying to watch the videos. For only being 30 minutes long, they sure took awhile to watch.
I feel I must inform you that I do have a whole lot more BSC merch than what's shown in that picture, but the rest was just too much to sit with me. haha
(classic mirror shot)
I was very inspired by a pair of earrings that Claudia wore in "The Babysitters and the Boysitters" and I know I've previously seen them on Clarissa Explains It All and have been trying to track down a pair for quite awhile! I then realized I'm a crafty person and can make a pair. So this is what I came up with. I don't think they're totally wearable for everyday, but if an opportunity arises to dress from the 90's again, then I would totally sport these in a heartbeat!
No post would be complete without some fun links for my fellow BSC fans -
- Find out which 'sitter you are! (I'm very much a Claudia!)
- I've posted this one quite a few times, but I think it's still relevant. A clever commentary about the books and the fashion involved.
- I'm glad to know there are others who want to dress like a member too!
- For laughs, some fashion from the 90's that was likely sported by the babysitters a time or two.
This was just something fun that I've been wanting to do for many years. I'm so glad I finally took the plunge and did it myself! Why wait around for others?!

I LOVED the Bsc growing up!! I think I read almost all of them too. Claudia was my favourite as well :) And then Jessi because I did ballet too at the time. Oh memories!
Great DIY! I used to watch Clarissa ALL THE TIME. So much fun!
How fun!!! I LOVED Babysitters Club when I was younger. I had all of their books, and couldn't get enough of it. Your earrings are fantastic!
Let me just say the earrings are amazing! I would so rock those! I seem to have a problem with losing an earring....I hate that..! Lol!

Oh my gosh, I had a serious geek moment when I saw this post! I *adored* The Babysitter's Club in a really ridiculous way. (And now, I have the theme song in my head...) I'm loving your Claudia earring DIY. I remember that girl having the coolest style; I kind of want to re-watch a few episodes now for some quality 90's inspiration. :)
I love the BSC and everything else 90s. It's awesome that you got to have yourself a little marathon. Now I want to go have one haha. Awesome DIY earrings too, btw. :)
Dying over this post! Thanks for bringing back fun memories :)
