Like, Totally 80’s Fashion – Plus size

Posted on by

prettyinpink2 leoriThe theme for our blogging collective, Ahead of the Curve, for August is Pretty in Pink. So imagine my surprise when I went through my wardrobe and didn’t really have any pink.  I think of myself as a pink and purple kind of girl.  That left recreating one of Andi’s outfits from the movie Pretty in Pink, one of my favorite ever chick flicks. My usual dress is a little reminiscent of the 1980 anyway, you know, quirky!  Here is my inspiration:

  2. Man, I forgot all about floral pants from the 80s. I think I’m digging your modern version much more.

  5. Ooh, so the first thing (things, I guess I should say) that I focused in on was all your jacket bling! Are those all pins, badges? Now, that’s my kind of accessory! 🙂 You look great!

    • Hi Lis: The Jacket bling is mainly pendants from Burning Man. Gifts for making donations or being friends with the artists. I love them and there is no way to wear all of them. But they do make the jacket very heavy. Thanks for commenting.

  7. I love this outfit so much. Could be because I’m an 80’s tragic myself, but I think it’s also because you’re rocking the you-know-what out of it!
