Last Saturday I went out with some friends to an 80’s and 90’s disco. This was a local thing, organized to raise money for charity. It was a bit quiet and we left soon after the band played but we had a good time and danced a little bit. I particularly enjoyed the opportunity to wear the hideous jacket Mr D found in a thrift shop in Florida, that I thought it was too bad to leave behind – plus it only cost me $1… Although I was wearing this as fancy dress, I’m sure it would be a success down in East London lol.
The photo isn’t brilliant but it’s what we could manage, after a few attempts. Details: Jacket – Thrift store in Florida, Sweatshirt – Boy London (from a charity shop), Skull leggings – TK Maxx, Shoes – Office (via Ebay), Matrioska Bag – Accessorize, Golden Hoops – Ebay. I remembered on the same day that I was missing some sort of cap with metal plaques and a miniature backpack to complete the look, but alas, it was too late!
As per Amy’s suggestion, I tied my hair in a double bun. I’d never done it before, it has to be said. To complete this post, a 90’s remix is in order. Enjoy!

Thank you! I knew you’d like this one, you 90’s lady!
Love the outfit, it’s so 90s!!! Funny how many of those trends are back in fashion while before I would cringe when I saw those aweful prints and leggings in my childhood pics loll
I know! I wouldn’t wear this on a daily basis but it was good fun!
I love the double buns on you and I cheer for hideous jackets!
Hideous jackets are the best. Real conversation starters!
