Need Retro Help ASAP

So, tomorrow at my job, it's Retro Day. And yes, I waited until the last minute to figure out what to wear. I don't have a "retro" outfit and could definitely use some help in putting different items together to create the "look." No specific decade, just "retro."

TIA

Do you have any flared/bellbottom pants and platforms/wedges with platforms? That would be an easy way to go...make your hair flowy and bohemian and do some kind of flowy top?

No bell bottoms or platforms :( Thanks for the suggestion though

As for the 80's. I have black or gray leggings. No big sweatshirt. What I have put together and am trying to figure out if it will work is this:

Gray capri leggings
Hot pink shorts
Brigiht blue tank top (wide straps)
Gray zip up hoodie with a zebra like pattern in pinks, yellow and blue all over it.

I was thinking of wearing the hoodie partially open to hang off of the shoulder since the shirt is not that large to begin with.

Sound good, fashion gurus??

I would wear some blue eyeshadow and you should be good! Also, if you have a hair crimper you can crimp your hair Chat Icon

Re: Need Retro Help ASAP

Thanks for the help ladies!! I found an awesome pair of leggings, black with bright colors and "Hip Hop" written all over them! Wearing those, hot pink short, bright yellow t-shirt and i have my DH's royal blue DUKE sweatshirt with big lettering! Purple scrunched socks with sneakers. Also doing the blue eyeshadow, and no crimper, but poofing and frizzing a sided ponytail with a scrunchee! Thanks so much ladies for all of your help! Should be fun :)
