1980's Costume


This is the result of all my 80's research at the weekend, my friend described it as 'things people wore in the 80's, but all at the same time'. Most of it I found in my wardrobe, all I had to buy was the yellow t-shirt and some jewellery.
  • Yellow neon flower hairband; Claire's Accessories €6 but part of a 3 for 2 deal.
  • Geometric dangle earrings; Claires accessories €6 part of the 3 for 2 deal
  • 2 beaded necklaces: Pennies €3 each
  • Backless yellow t-shirt; Pennies €6
  • Red long sleeved t-shirt: Dunnes €6
  • Vintage A-wear jacket: I bought it a few years ago in Dublin and never wore it, but now it will be leaving my dress up box and I'll be wearing it on a regular basis, I love it. I think it was around €25 and it came with a pair of trousers.
  • Red Belt: Pennies €3
  • 3 Bracelets: Claire's accessories approx €5
  • Blue skirt with pockets; Pennies approx. €5
  • Red tights: Pennies €3
  • The legwarmers are years old, I can't remember where I bought them
  • I had to buy these white shoes after I damaged them in a fashion show that I had, I never wore them but I knew they would come in handy some day! €10


 Yellow and green eye-shadow; yikes!  
Sharon(on the right) had an amazing costume but I have no decent photos of her, shiny tracksuit, with a cassette walkman and a side ponytail; classy bird!  
 The birthday boy as a 'wanna be Don Johnson' with Dolly Parton
 I love this purple leopard print dress, with Curehead Paul
Dawn dressed as herself in the 80's, I was understandably obsessed with her hat!

What I'm wearing: A Vintage Dress


I've been rather sick with a horrid stomach bug for about a week, so cabin fever led me to do things like tidy the house, scrub my bathroom, dye my hair and paint my nails...it's amazing what boredom will lead a person to!
I've had this dress for over a year and I've never worn it, part of me loved it, but the other half thought it was a bizarre hybrid of something my mother wore in the 80's and a Star Trek(natives from a peaceful and earthy planet)dress. But I tried it on again recently and realised that the side that loved it won out and and that I would wear it soon. So this is it's first airing!
Dress: In a bag of vintage dresses that I got for free from a friend of a friend...for free!
Belt: Came free with this blue top I got in A-Wear, it's awful with the top, but nice with this dress.
Boots: A charity shop €10

Wow that's an incredibly cheap outfit!
