I'm wearing a rara skirt and colour changing t shirt. Hope my armpits don't get too warm!

Guess which movie i was obsessed with....

Does someone need to be rescued from the corner?

TheProvincialLady · 11/04/2023 09:56

I’m going in head to toe purple and/or black tassels. With a tasteful touch of tie dyed something. My boots are pointy with a Louis heel.

InglouriousBasterd · 11/04/2023 09:59

Also a crop top here to show off my toned abs (never had in my life, no matter how slim I’ve become!) with one of those bellybutton chains. Purple jeans, chipie trainers.

A boob tube and hot pants!

Great thread, OP!

HerodAntipasti · 11/04/2023 10:03

I think I will go with teal-green jumpsuit, roller skates, absolutely massive back combed bleached hair, huge dangly earrings. And several Swatch watches. Lots of experimental makeup.

I’m really hoping I won’t need the loo at any point.

I clearly misinterpreted the question as my first thought was to go as Mr Frosty the slushy maker and dress up as a snowman! 😆😆 I was desperate for one as a kid!

This was my thought too!

If it's clothes, though, it'd have to be the kappa? or addidas? trousers that has poppers all down the sides.

A pair of sparkly pink plastic ‘princess’ shoes with heels and a pair of bay city roller trousers (mid calf, denim with tartan band around the bottom of the trouser legs). I was 6 when I saw the shoes and 9 when I wanted the trousers 🤣

As long as you keep your mitts off Eric. He's mine, mine I tell you 😍

The pyramid jacket Madonna wore in Desperately Seeking Susan.

SunhatsAndFlipFlops · 11/04/2023 10:16

White low rise pedal pushers with a cropped boob tube and silver wedge sandals.
Hair pulled up in a high bun with two long strands to frame the face, hooped earrings, jingly jangly bangles.
Make up - glitter round the eyes, lots of mascara, bit of eye liner, rimmel paradise lipstick with brown lip liner.
A spritz of 2 of Calvin Klein or Burberry weekend 👍🏼

Taytocrisps · 11/04/2023 10:18

Legwarmers when I was about 10 or 11.

A denim jacket with a Wham! patch sewn on the back when I was in my teens.

I finally got the legwarmers but not the denim jacket.

AprilDecember · 11/04/2023 10:31

These shoes! And pedal pushers, an indigo denim jacket, a Baby G or Storm bubble watch, and a million bangles. Blue nail varnish.

I did finally buy myself a couple of Baby G watches in my late 20s. And I still love a bangle.

The studded cut off denim jacket worn by Vivian from the young ones
worn with Olivia Newton John's black shiny leggings in Grease.
and Bonnie Tylars hair

FlannelandPuce · 11/04/2023 10:39

A Ra Ra skirt with espadrilles. I had this outfit for my Sindy and was 100% sure that's what I would wear all the time as a grown-up. I was 8.

Haha I came onto the thread to say exactly the same thing.

HumptyNumpty76 · 11/04/2023 10:51

Either a velvet dress....short, fitted, low neckline, long sleeves with black tights and velour platforms. Or an orange satin shirt with short lycra skirt, also with black tights and velour platforms.

almondflake · 11/04/2023 10:54

Fringed suede jacket , high top sneakers , shorts and a long sleeve t-shirt with dipped front in yellow or skin tight blue satin pants 😂

itssquidstella · 11/04/2023 10:55

I’m wearing a shell suit 😆

You have to be close in age to me! Born late 80s?

BurntOrangeAutumn · 11/04/2023 10:59

Miss Sixty jeans, crop top & Afghan coat 😎

TempNCforthis · 11/04/2023 10:59

Banarama dungarees and a headscarf hairband.

BakerLea · 11/04/2023 11:10

Iridescent flares from International, sequened boob tube, diamanté playboy bunny necklace, shoe-boots. Will carry my 10 fags down my boob tube in the middle of my boobs (this was the thing)

Deadringer · 11/04/2023 11:11

A pale turquoise boiler suit. I wanted it for my 21st party but it was out of stock and I had to settle for a pale yellow one.
