90's outfit required. Please help, I am desperate!

[FelixFelix]

I've been invited to a friends birthday party in 3 weeks time. It's a 90s theme and I absolutely detest dressing up. Dressing up aside, I'm really looking forward to it as it will be my first night away since having dd at Christmas and I really need a break!

I am early 20s, size 16. Sort of hourglass figure (if I wear my super suck in pants). Legs and bingo wings need to be covered! Also needs to be as cheap as possible as I am super skint.

It looks like everyone is going for general 90s fashion rather than specific characters, so I'd like to do the same. I was born in 1990 so I'm not totally sure what people wore in the 90s as I was a kid. All I can think of is clueless and I really would not suit that kind of thing I had a quick look around Primark at the weekend but saw nothing at all. I'm sure a few months ago the shops were full of 90s crap!

HELP!!! If anyone could point me towards somewhere I could buy anything suitable I'd be eternally grateful

Violet Wild Plum - that's the one!

Or a bottle of Mad Dog 20/20, Taboo or Mirage.

Or patchouli oil. Or Ananya.

Can anyone recommend on the boots I posted up thread?

Sorry Felix I got carried away.

The black pair are probably more in keeping with the look you're after. But I'm skint, so in your position I'd get the ones that I was most likely to wear again.

I'd probably wear the black ones again! Maybe...

Hooch - the original lemon-flavoured one.

Boots: yes, the black ones are most authentic.

I saw Hooch in Tesco recently! My sister said it wasn't authentic as there were no bits floating in it...

Oh, and I wouldn't have been seen dead wearing a bum bag at the time or now come to think of it.

This is what I carried...

Good old army surplus stores.

I can remember a lot of Global Hypercolour t-shirts ...

I remember Hooch (and Two Dogs) being launched the first time around when I worked in a pub...

There is no way that that was 20 years ago!

Coloured jeans preferably Versace
Naff Co 54 Cagoule/binbag jacket. Hair in those little multi coloured clips holding it in lines back from your face. Benzini Tracksuits. Furio/McKenzie jumpers. With baggy jeans with red patches on the bum. Furry leg warmers with rave outfits. Jodhpurs and denim shirt combos with obligatory Baggie crochet cardigan over. Combats and army t-shirts a la All Saints. Ahem, not that I ever wore any of the above you understand!

I know, sanity. Terrifying, isn't it!

I remember my sister having a bumbag but that was in the late 80s, I think, and she was about 11. In my mid to late teens in the 90s I had one of those black cotton tote-style bags with multi-coloured embroidery and lots of tiny mirrors. Lots of my friends had the army-style canvas bags too.

well, you could go with the DM rip off boots you love, thick tights (wooly if possible), short floaty dress with a t-shirt underneath and a blossom hat?

Or baggy everything - ideally with a James T-shirt

Or clueless 90s look - so kilt (with matching jacket if you can!) or short A line skirt, too tight jumper with shirt underneath, knee high socks.
