Flashback to the 80's

Last night, we went to a surprise 30th birthday party for our friend Bill. Beka decided she wanted Bill's party to have an 80's theme, so we all dug through our closets and hit the thrift stores to find all those hidden gems. Back in the 90's, I had rid my wardrobe of all hideous pieces that even resembled the 80's, so off to the thrift store I went. I was still a child in the 80's, but nevertheless fell victim to the fashion trends that were oh so cool back then. Looking back, I think anyone who lived through the 80's (and has seen pictures of themselves) has asked themselves, "what was I thinking?"


When I think of the 80's, I think big and dramatic. Big hair, dramatic make-up, and unflattering clothes. I had so much fun browsing the thrift store, finding my totally 80's pieces. I found Tim a Member's Only jacket. Yep, that's right, Tim was an official member last night! That, along with his stonewashed jeans with the pantlegs rolled up- he was styling.




Me, on the other hand, decided to channel Jennifer Beals in Flashdance. Oh, how rad I must have looked in my oversized sweatshirt with the oh too big neckline, stonewashed denim skirt, leggings, and legwarmers. The big hair and way-too-much 80's makeup was a pretty funny sight.




Here are some other pictures from our flashback to the 80's:

The 80's girls... how cute would we have been 25 years ago? I love how even little Jada got into the 80's spirit!

Not to be outdone, the guys came through looking true to form Hard to believe, but my hair was actually bigger at the start of the night!Bill & Beka
That's a lot of candles Bill!

Hope you had a great birthday Bill. We all had fun!
