Next week at spring break camp we are doing decades with costume contests each day. I am now getting really excited. I went to target and goodwill and have a solid start on it all. Monday is 50's and I am pretty set for that, Plus my costume closet is getting filled out!
50's I found a fluffy Mickey Mouse sweater on sale at Target. I am going to wear my black and white polka dot stretchy pants with it. I will also find some mouse ears or make some.
60's I found a pink dress with daisies on it, I am going to hem it so mini skirt length and find yellow tights. Then the challenge is to find white go-go boots or make some. I saw some directions for covering boots with white duct tape as an option. Also a wide headband.
70's I found a hippy sweater, bright colors and fringe, at goodwill. I have birkenstocks and boot cut jeans. Not sure if this works yet but I will go to goodwill again this weekend. Flower headband is a must however
80's MY GENERATION, I can pretty much dress as normal although I hear the neon colors are more recognizable as the 80's. Tough, I do want to find fishnets to wear with my short plaid skirt and doc marten's (I also have a rancid tshirt and a jean jacket with a pile of buttons)
90's I am pretty darn excited about this one, I have a long floral dress and my doc marten's. Also the jean jacket. Maybe some type of hat but i can't remember what hats they wore.
I realized that you can pretty much wear any of these things now toned down and it works. But maybe I have no real fashion sense
