80s Prom


This girl was seriously disturbed thinking that this could possibly be a good idea. First and foremost I don't get the trend of the headband around the head, it makes your hair poof up like a hairbrush never ever existed and leaves a mark on your forehead if you take it off. It also looks stupid.

Aside from that fact, she had a big giant flower/loofa emerging from the side of her head. And um...80s much? The only thing missing was the legwarmers covering her shoes. The striped shirt was way too tight for her and the skirt didn't fall in a flattering way around her body. The overall effect was like a puffer fish ready for attack.

Honestly I can't get over the headband, there's a time and place for certain fashion choices and this was not one of them. Walking down the street in Williamsburg perhaps but not at a dressy New Year's Eve event.

The tights weren't a bad idea, but everything was in the same color palate. Mix it up a little. Even if she wanted to stick to all dark colors there's a way to add some pop. Instead of wearing a black skirt, how about purple or red? That could have worked really well. Also a fancier top that wasn't so tight fitting. Fashion tip: if you're chunky or even fat never wear horizontal stripes, they make you look wider. Learn it and use it. Vertical stripes are your friend.
