So I'm here sitting at work. It's slow cuz everyone is out having Christmasy fun with family and friends. Everyone except me. But I'm not here to play the poor pitamus me game.
I get to go be Christmasy this evening.
A friend of mine is turning 30 in a few days so instead of having the usual Christmas/Birthday party his wife decided to throw him a back to the 80's party. All 80's all the time.
We even have to dress up in 80's clothes. Not the revampted ultra retro 80's stuff that is so chic right now. We are talking acid wash ripped jeans with high heels and socks. You know the really tacky stuff that was all the rage back in the day. Do I remeber any of this? Yea, that would be a no. I was wearing red cords and Strawberry Shortcake stuff back then. I think I was all of 10 when the 80's were ending. So what do I have to go by? I mean besides the endless hours of VH1's I love the 80's that have killed so many of my brain cells. Well all those awesome 80's teen movies that I adored through out the 90's of course.
I wanted to go with the grungy look of Lili Taylor In Say Anything (yes it was 89 but that's still the 80's darn it). Unfortunatly, the thrift store was not obliging and grungy, angsty, black jeans with black band shirt and ill fitting black balzer just wasn't going to happen. It was going to be such a neat outfit.
What did i choose instead?
I will be the mean preppy girl complete with pretty soft pink sweater wrapped around the shoulders, pleated khakis (pleats why oh why the pleats?), and a lavender belt.
I am so not good at this.
Who would you go as?
