What did you wear with your white stilettos in the 80s?

I know I lived in white stilettos for the best part of the decade but cant remember what I wore them with. I found a pair for £4 in Primark yesterday and snapped them up for a 1980s party, what is one to wear them with???

Oh...the memories of my Just Seventeen t-shirt...

I had a similar dilemma and just took myself off to Primark and got lots of tacky jewellery, a truly hideous bag which even dd2 has shunned as a dressing up bag, rolled up my jeans to 3/4 length and bought a batwing top. I looked truly hideous but decided that as it was all in the interests of a good party...only to find that almost everyone else was looking stunning as wonder woman or the blonde one from Abba.
Sorry, I know that's not much help...

Oh or a Queen Is Dead t-shirt worn huge and belted with said long skirt.

Or lace leggings under teeny tight black stretchy mini with tight t-shirt and denim jacket - and PE pumps rather than stilettoes.

geius ggirl! legwarmers will do the trick.

Lol at cornedbeef legs, no matter how cold it was in Essex, we never wore tights.

and the mocassins, they were too laid-back for me but my cooler friend wore them!

Wasnt makeup heavy on the bronze/gold too?

Janeite, no I have to wear the stilettos! Not only did I suffer the embarrasment of buying them, but then my Primark bag split and I had to repack the aforementioned shoes into a new bag in the Next changing rooms with a huge queue behind me watching!

Bunny - you are right: those stilettoes owe you!

I think black jumpsuit, huge white belt, white shoes and plastic necklace, earrings and bangles - maybe yellow? Tasteful, non?
