A jumpsuit (boiler suit) is another option, at least if you are going for early-80s, as would be bright-colored overalls or painter pants. Stirrup pants tucked into booties, bonus points for fringe. Be sure your socks match your shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-with-80s-party-outfit#post-2253489 Mon, 28 Feb 2022 23:11:24 +0000 Cee 2253489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with chewyspaghetti re the side ponytail.

I mean LOTS. I had a bowl full of those single eyeshadows.</p> <p>OR parachute pants, Stiff Records t-shirt, thrifted grandpa sweater, and sneakers.</p> <p>I seem to have no memory of ever carrying a purse. Maybe I stuffed everything in my pockets?
