80's fashion

ergonomics

Hi all!

My 21st is in about 6 weeks and I'm having an 80's theme. I want to go dressed a bit like Cyndi Lauper in her Girls Just Wanna Have Fun video. Does anyone know where I would get clothes like that? Or have any tips for 80's fashion in general?

Thanks in advance!

Have a look round some of those retro shops found around Temple Bar maybe.

Look in your attic..or ask friends,everyone has some dodgy bits lying around that they were convinced would make a comeback..and second hand stores are full of stuff like that!.

Get an old mens t-shirt and rip the collar so it drapes over one shoulder, put a wide belt around the middle, get some day-glo leggings and pumps. Then spray temporary coloured hair spray in your hair in mad colours, tie your hair in a side pony tail with extra puffiness. Sweat bands optional. Plastic jewelery a must! Et voila, teh 80s have returned. :D

Look in sale racks in shops for dodgy brightly coloured clothes. Second hand/charity shops. Also try a few sex shops around town. They might have those fishnet gloves which are, like,SOOOooo 80's!

Lots and lots of plastic jewellery. Penneys is your only man!;)

Backcomb your hair to bits and spray till solid! Have at least 3 colours on your eyes - pink blue and purple are a good mix with lots of black/blue eyeliner and blue mascara if you can get it. Then heavy dark pink blusher is a distinct straight diagonal line going down your cheek bone.

The search is going well so far! I saw a puffball mini skirt in Penney's which I'm going to get and sew in a couple of layers or lace/fish net underneath. They also have loads of long silver chains and tacky bracelets so I'm gonna attack tomorrow

I still need to get a top and shoes but I have until the end of August!
