80's? yes, please.

so i was born in 1983 (give or take a few months). that said, i am not aware of all the true 80's stuff, but i remember a few things:
1. pegged pants
2. my favorite babysitter rocked the aqua-net hairsprayed "wings" in her hair.
3. stonewashed pants with no pockets on the butt...which made a size 0 look like a 20 when viewing from the rear.
4. bright colored hightops...actually, bright neon colored everything.
5. scrunchies and more hairsprayed big bangs.
6. shoulder pads...some belonging to the dallas cowboys...some belonging to my mom's full piece jump suit with neon paint sploches and sparkles.

however, a few nights ago we were asked to an 80's themed party. will we go? absolutely we will...and we will rock it.
HIGHLIGHT: When we walked in...an hour late...everyone stopped, jaws hit the floor and expressions on faces turned into "WTface". Apparently we had over-dressed for the party...by like 5 layers of make-up and 2 cans of hairspray. Try not to be jealous of my lacy, itchy dress, banana clipped hair, trace's slicked back hair, kelli's make-up, or spencer's hat. also, please note spencer's fannypack.
i'm sure this dress got a lot of whistles once upon a time...a long time ago. 80's prom king and queen? i think yes...we danced. we sang 80's stuff. we ate good food. it was a good party.

{Special thanks to Trace for wearing the outfit kelli and i spent all day searching and digging through thrift stores for...you looked hot, dear.}
{Other special thanks to awesome nikki hughes for inviting us to your fiesta.}
