80's Party: What to wear?

I am usually pumped about themed parties, but this party is for my SIL so I am not excited at all.  That being said, I still have to go and I still need to "participate" by dressing the part.

Need some suggestions for myself and DH.  Wanting an 80's look for both of us on a budget.  Give me some thoughts on "80's" pieces that I can search for at thrift stores or cheaper mall type stores or even items that might be in my closet that I can craft/manipulate.

 

TIA!

Re: 80's Party: What to wear?

  • Anything fluorescent should do.

    One glove for your DH - maybe glue some sequins onto it?  Roll the cuffs of his jeans (is that what you guys call it? Maybe "Pinning" or "Pegging"?)

    You need leggings/tights. It's hard with girls with jeans for an 80's - it's hard to find anything that fits the bill (and that is a GOOD thing)

    Blue/Green eyeshadow and frosted pink lipstick.

    See if you can find those sunglasses that have the lines in them, like blinds. I think the old Mad Max of Coke wore them.

     Sounds like a really fun party!!!!

  • For you - leggings & oversized shirt.  Ponytail to the side.  Keds. LOTS of Blue/Green/Purple eyeshadow. 

    For DH - could do a "tennis theme", sweatbands (head and wrist), I like the sunglasses idea too.

     I'm jealous, I LOVE 80's themes!  Yes, I'm weird.

  • I did one a few years ago and got a denim mini skirt and sort of a rock and roll shirt at a thrift store.  I wore black leggings under the skirt and tied a black lace thing around my head like Madonna.  I have a pic at home--I'll post it tonight.
  • I was going to suggest a lot of the same as PP. I think Forever 21 should have most of the items listed.
  • Ladies-  Thank you all for the suggestions.  I got super slammed yesterday and was never able to come back and thank you.  Better late than never!
