Gag me with a spoon!

A few weeks ago during my Confession Session, I said I was going to a 80s party, but had nothing to wear (story of my life).  Well, I've been meaning to blog about my bargain 80s outfit, and since today is "Pop Into the 80s" Day at work, I thought what better time than now? 

I recycled the outfit for work, which was all found at Plato's Closet for around $50.  Sunglasses, purse, heels, leggings, skirt, tank and headband!  Holla.

Here is me and my hubby Robert (dressed as Boy George) at the Totally "Gay-ties" Party a few weeks ago:

I believe you need a close up of my heels, which were quite a hit at the party and today at work.  LOVE THEM and they WILL be making a Vegas appearance.  I just think they scream Vegas!

You most  certainly can't have a totally awesome 80s party without Pop Rocks:

The aftermath of getting 80s ready.  Where is that maid of mine?  Make-up and hair product explosion:

And lastly and in totally unrelated news, what do y'all think of this antique Italian candy dish I'm using as a candle holder on my bar?  I got it on Monday and it was only $12.99.  I really like it!

So girls, channel your inner eighties and tell me what you love most about this decade.  Granted, I was in diapers in the 80s, but I love the bright colors and big hair. 

Oh, did I mention I had to go to Target looking like this at 8 a.m. this morning?  I told the woman making my Starbucks, I swear I don't normally dress like this to which she replied, "Oh honey, I'm not judging!"  Sure you aren't.

    the best about the 80's?! that you and i were born. had we not been born...we wouldn't have become besties and i wouldn't be coming to see your beautiful ass in a few weeks.

    but i'm a BIG fan of the 80's...the music, the movies, the cartoons, the toys! everything...literally.

    Haha, you're amazing! The pleather leggings and Pop Rocks are a must. My 80's style of choice would have to be shoulder pads. I don't understand why they went out of style... they're ultra flattering! ;) Kidding, of course.

    PS LOVE the candy dish as the candle holder! Genius idea.

    You are incredibly cute! And pull of the 80s look perfectly.
    I am in love with those shoes! And for $11. When I move to Dallas you are going shopping with me! I can never find deals like those!

    Oh and the candy dish is working out pretty well as a candle holder! I approve!

    I'd love those little plastic rings you use to hike up and tighten your XXL shirts. Pair those bad boys up with some leggings, feather out your bangs and you're sure to nab a beau!
