Wear It: Saturday Morning Cartoons

  Nostalgia is a fashion statement that will probably never go out of style. Some people reflect on the fashion of different decades, such as dressing like a 60s movie star or an 80s rocker. Many trends happening right now in 2011 are reflective on past styles, like high-waisted jeans, crop tops, or maxi dresses. Some clothing stores across the world have been licencing clothing to better reflect your own past, such as t-shirts that have a logo of your favorite cartoon that you watched every Saturday morning.
 Face it, we all did it when we were younger, sat our butts in front of the tv and ate cereal Saturday mornings watching line-ups of all your favorite shows. It was cartoon prime time. If you're anything like me, maybe you still enjoy sitting in front of the TV with your favorite cereal watching cartoons. Wearing your favorite childhood show is a great way to show your personality, interests, and lets face it, its a fantastic conversation starter. Today, I'm going to show you a few places you can pick up your Saturday Morning Cartoon Merch to help represent and re-live your childhood. 

 The best place to start your search is probably your local hot topic, or, if you're like me and live no where near a hot topic, search their website! Underneath their "pop culture" tab, you can find a section called "Cartoon Retro". Here, you can find loads of clothing that represent your favorite cartoons. The best thing about the hot topic website is even though most of their stock is t-shirts, there also have jewelry, backpacks, shorts, plushies, hoodies, belts, etc. I'll just post a few of my favorite picks from whats in stock now:

Powerpuff Girls Shirt, $22.50 to $26.50
 Powerpuff girls is a must for me. Its one of my favorite shows, I'm definitively buying this.


Pikachu Tank Top, $19.50 to $23.50.

Power Rangers T-shirt, $22.50 to $26.50


  The next store I chose, D-Tox, I believe is only Canadian, and you cannot BUY online, but you can browse their designs and go to a local store (if you're in Canada) and pick some up. Like hot topic it features both male and female t-shirts. Here are some really awesome picks from their site. 

Sesame Street, $25 (CAD)

 Some companies still licence their own clothing and sell them on sites such as zazzle or amazon. One of these, my personal favorite of all the saturday morning cartoons, is garfield. Garfields zazzle is simply http://www.zazzle.com/garfield, and there is some pretty awesome merchandise there. 
Womens Garfield Shoes $67.50
