80's Party

Double Popped Collars & Cable Knits

Gucci Loafer & Legwarmers

The girls primarily wore neon colors and sequins.

and the guys went with madras plaid and pocket squares...were they even dressed up?

Of course there was vintage Lilly.

867-5309...the party was complete with 80's jams.

Despite JCW being out of town I still managed to make it home with an order of Disco Fries...he would have been so proud!

I was a child of the eighties and my most beloved item had to be my Michael Jackson glove. What was your favorite thing to wear in the eighties?

Not sure what my favorite thing to wear back in the 80's? Maybe my Benetton clothing, CB jacket, K-swiss and/or Tretorns? Seems SO long ago, lol!

Disco Fries! So many people have no idea what they are. I wrote about them on my blog awhile back and had to explain what they are...a little piece of heaven.

Did you go to St.Elmo's for burgers later that evening?

Disco fries have become a very unhealthy obsession of mine! My sister was literally born and raised on Benetton clothing. I had a neon pink CB with a neon green stripe...I thought it was the coolest! xx

Add-a beads :)

My favorite thing was probably my Swatch watch with a pink scented watchband!

Swatch watch for sure and my parachute pants with pink zippers. Oh, and we wore esprit like crazy!

I had a pair of rainbow striped leg warmers that rarely left my legs. So shameful.

My Guess jeans or my Swatch watch! Or maybe my Tretorns :)

Looks like a "way cool" party :)

Oh the 80's...I used to have neon lace ribbons in my hair like Madonna, much to my mothers chagrin. The party looks pretty cool dude! LOL

Lori said...

What a riot! I remember my leg warmers. :)

Pink Champagne said...

So fun! Love those bright colors, but can we please forget the hair (forever)???
