Stretchy leggings with flats... they're actually back in style now! You could probably find some at Target. Or, tennies with friendship pins, big slouchy socks, and your jeans pinned at the bottom would be funny. Remember those sweaters with the "V" from Limited Express and some people wore the V in back to be sexy?! Lots of beaded necklaces, glasses with HUGE frames, etc. I could go on and on. I was TOTALLY an 80s fashion victim!

Nobody told ME that's why they wore the V in back! I guess I should have been wearing MINE that way!

Ahhh yes it did ...My father use to make us take it to the garage to use it... we use to leave it out there on top of the extra freezer... ahh memories...

I would also maybe go to the thrift store see what you can find. Mine always has some really funny 80's stuff. also the 3 in wide belt over the shirt.

Definately leggins and oversized sweaters with a pair of flats. I remember having a perm back then (they were quite popular) and we wore headbands.

And the big hair - spiky bangs, lots of hairspray.

Was Cher 80's?? Maybe along that line if you wanted to get away fom Madonna typre dressing. Other than that, neons, high tops,

Sounds like fun!!

I loved the 80's. Rent Sixteen Candles or Flash Dance. I loved that movie, by the way! Definitely the headband, leg warmers or socks scrunched with another color underneath them, pink hightop tennis shoes, funky shoe laces...oh the fun!!
