Help! Worst short notice task that DD has ever presented me with.
No chance of a shop.
Throw me your ideas, please!

Leggings with a body suit/leotard over the top, thick socks pulled up over the leggings and tight curl her hair so it’s like a perm. Elastic Headband round the forehead if you’ve got one.

Or a side ponytail if you can’t be bothered with curls!

She’s got the curls already, fortunately!
Not very brave, so not liking my suggestions!

Or write CHOOSE LIFE on a white T-shirt with a sharpie.

Kingstonmumof1 · 09/02/2022 18:01

Anything neon

Fingerless gloves? Some socks repurposed as leg warmers. A Choose Life or Relax t-shirt?

indecisivewoman81 · 09/02/2022 18:05

Stone wash mom jeans (if she has any?) are very 80s to me.

Or dungarees worn on one strap with bright tee underneath
Bright pink top, scrunchies in hair

Bananarama vibe : jeans , white t shirt tucked in with a belt !

ApolloandDaphne · 09/02/2022 18:06

I used to wear leggings and a mans shirt belted with a wide belt slung low. Pointy shoes/boot, backcombed hair, a lot of long beads and a fuck tonne of eyeliner! Pale lips natch. Any of that available?

Old jumper cut the sleeves off and use as leg warmers?

parrotonmyshoulder · 09/02/2022 19:34

Batwing jumper I found in my wardrobe, wide black belt, jeans (won’t wear baggy, but they’ll do) woolly socks with feet cut out as leg warmers. Amazing curls in side pony.
She looks better than I ever did!

I didn't wear baggy jeans in the early 80s. I took all my jeans in on the leg so they were skinny then put leg warmers over them. She is spot on!
