    Default NYE dress... help!

    I'm going to this huge 80's themed party... Um, I don't remember the 80's that well and I'm sure there are going to be some people there going ALL out but I am NOT teasing my hair and wearing bright pink lipstick! I want to blend in but manage to look somewhat normal (yea, I'm vain... it's okay )

    So, I'm thinking a brightly colored cocktail dress. Like, bright blue or green or pink or something... What did 80's do with cocktail dresses? V-neck stuff? Could you guys look though some of these styles http://www1.macys.com/catalog/index....CURRENT_PAGE=1
    and let me know what kind of styles I should keep in mind?

    Wear a cute pair of leggin's & a babydoll dress you can find them at any trendy juniors style store i.e. charolette russe, forever 21. Then put your hair in a side ponytail

    If she's talking about the ones I'm thinking about, nope, no feet. I'm hoping she doesn't mean the ones with stirrups..YUK! LOL (even though I wore them too).

    You can find them at (I've seen them at) Target, Ross, Marshalls, any store like that.

    Bella, leggings are the stretchy pants with no feet that end by your ankle.

    My suggestion, and I was there back then, would be to go with one of the shorter cocktail dresses in your link...the ones with some crinoline underneath. Wear a pair of leggings with it and high heeled pumps. That's very 80's.

    Add brightly colored costume jewelry. You can do your hair half up, as in the front and sides and leave the back down. Tease the up part a little for fullness. Maybe crimp the down part a little.

    And don't forget to add some sexy little gloves with it for a totally 80's look.

    ETA: Don't forget to wear a wide coordinating belt around your waist if you can manage it.

    leggings. they're everywhere now, any juniors store in a mall.

    80's- bright pinks, purples, yellows, oranges, anything bright!!!!!! and stripes, plaids. for dresses, poofy is good. so are polka dots

    I would do a dress like this:

    with leggings:

    these shoes:

    throw in a headband:

    some jewelry:


    and a bag:


    tada: pretty and modern, but with a definate 80's twist. I went more towards 80's glam, then toward rock. Oh, you could easily exchange the leggings for fishnets. Hot topic even has fishnet leggings!!!!

    (now I have that trivial persuit comercial theme song stuck.... totally 80's!!!)

    ya, but "authentic" sounds like a little too "abnormal" for her

    I'd be all over ebay for this. Lola love's the 80's!!!!

    Go on ebay and search Jessica Mcklintock (do a google search to get the correct spelling of the last name).

    I went to an 80's themed party and got a sweatheart neckline mint green colored taffetta dress that was poufy on the bottom with white lace for 10 bucks! I wore it with pink lace fingerless gloves and leggings. It was awesome!!!

    You should have no problem going that route!

    Short black dress, big belt (hey, they're coming back anyway!) tights or leggings (check out Hot Topic and buy a My Chemical Romance poster while you are there) and flats.




    Hey, what's with you and all of these themed parties?
