I'm going to an 80's themed birthday party in a few weeks. What can I wear that's cheap and cheerful? Any ideas?

All about you!

I did think Madonna but my hair is dark. As much as I loved the 80's, I hated the fashion, except the rara, but I don't have the legs anymore!

Get a ruched dress from a charity shop (anything in electric blue will be good). Put some shoulder pads into an old jacket. Ruched boots (pixi boots) have come into fashion recently so you might find some of those in the charity shops as well. Heavy, black, opaque tights with a woolen dress (circa Benetton 1985). Get some big, backcombed hair and some lipliner and you`re good to go.

Get a big, cheap, white men's t-shirt and write in big letters 'CHOOSE LIFE' and wear it with black leggings. Those WHAM! days!
