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.

If you really want to be an 80's hipster girl, you should go as the most scariest thing of them all...a valley girl. Oh yes, like I totally think that you should, like, try to go as one! That would be so, like, oh my God, tubular! All you would need to become one of the aforementioned terrors of the 80's is an old pair of jeans (ones that still fit, but that you don't wear) and some bleach. Bleach the hell outta them and you could bleach words or shapes, whatever. Get bright make-up I am talking bright blues, purples, greens, oranges, hot pinks and just cake on the make up. Crimp your hair but make sure you have a half ponytail on the side of your head. Then get a oversized white t-shirt and tie it in a knot down at the bottom on the left side. Roll your jeans and get some puff paint from your local craft store. Put stuff on there like I Love New Kids on the Block and Johnny Depp is such a hunk. Heh, I have realized that I have just shown how old I really am. Now I am sad an must leave you with my brilliant advise. If you need tips on how to talk, rent the movie Clueless.

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!
