Go to New Look.

It's full of vile 80s clothes IMO

Do you have anything suitable - maybe a skirt suit. You could roll up the sleeves, wear with a blouse (preferably pinned with a brooch at the neck), a wide belt on your hips and court shoes. Add in Lots of make-up (got any pink and blue + heavy blusher stripe) and BIG hair.

Or leggings with long shirt with aforementioend belt and brooch.

Get the hair and make-up right and it won't matter too much what you wear. here more ideas

Run some elastic through hem of a wide skirt and make a ra-ra skirt? White accessories. Lacey gloves. Big hair, oh yes, lots of backcombing and lacquer. leggings if you dare.

agree re New Look but can't get out good idea re the suit, i could try and create shoulder pads too.

At this mo am trying to get into 14 yr old dd's pink tafetta ra ra skirt, but keep getting stuck!

Oh just seen you can't get out.

Do you have any clothes kicking about in the loft? Leggings, puffball skirt, skintight jeans that you can wear with a shirt belted loosely?

Agree re the jacket - put a folded sanitary towel in each shoulder to make shoulder pads, wear with a pencil skirt and tons of pastel plastic jewellery, BIIIIIIGGGG hair and white stilettos.

Or wear legwarmers, a mini skirt, vest t-shirt and a headband and be a kid from Fame!
