Thankfully, it's not all that hard to look hot in a retro getup—nor is it very expensive!
There are plenty of ways to work your existing wardrobe into a sexy '80s look. Look into your closet and pick out everything that's a bright flashy print, neon, checkered or acid wash. If you're deficient in all these things (it's okay, no one's perfect), then consider looking for the following sexy '80s items:
an itty bitty bandage dress in a bright day-glo hue
metallic or neon high tops (they may be flat, but you'll feel great dancing in them)
torn fishnets, a la '80s Madonna
big, chunky jewelry to layer
blue eyeshadow
old sweatshirts that you can cut the neck out of for a Jennifer Beals in Flashdance kind of look
crinoline skirts (see the picture of Audrina as 80s Madonna above)
legwarmers (preferably in bright colors)
scrunchies (preferably in bright colors)
Add to your look with some seriously out-there candy-colored makeup!
