Hi there =]
I'm 14 (if it helps?) Well we all know HALOWEEN is coming up soon. I'm trying to get ideas on what to do for a costume. I kind of want something 80's inspired. Maybe something like an 80's hipster girl with the crimped hair and such. Any ideas on what to wear, how to do makeup, where to get this stuff, etc. If you have any pictures for inspiration? Also i'm on somewhat of a tight budget. (link)

Hey, I have sorta the same idea for my homeschool masqurade ball. :) Well, I went to Target and I found the most awesome "hippie" dress. It's fantastic, bright colors, flowers, fringed vest etc. And I also found some black leggings that have moons and stars on them, and I'm going to cut the dress off so it's only about knee length, and wear the leggins under it. I bought some phenomenal Converses ($15 at TJ Maxx) - they're black, red, pink and white patchwork. I also have funky socks to wear. I'm going to dye my hair (again) purple, tip it purple anyway. Although I wear my hair straight, straight hair was in for a little while during the lat '60s and early '70s. But if you're looking for th 80s, I would suggest these websites :

Of course, during the '80s, Converses were REALLY popular (though those can be a bit pricey. Usually around $40, unless your local TJ Maxx carries them.) Most of the womens clothes were clingy. Mini skirts were really popular. Izod shirts and polos wer in. Midriff bearing shirts and legwarmers were in style also.
As far as makeup, colored mascara was really big, so was bright colored lipstick. Big, colorful earrings, friendship bracelets, charm bracelets and banana clips were in.
Try your local Thrift Store, TJ Maxx and other low-price stores. Also, e-Bay!
