If you go to Google and type in: "----- image", you'll find some great ideas.

For example:

• "80s Fashion image"
• "80s accessories image"
• "80s makeup image"
• "90s fashion image"
• "90s accessories image"

Also check Google Images for specific things that used to be cool:

• "Safety pin beads"
• "friendship bracelets"
• "Scrunchies"
• "fringed clothing"
• "grunge"
• "flash dance clothing"
• Juicy "track suits"
• "jazzersize clothing"

Other ideas:

• photo on a shirt - (they make these at the mall...sometimes they are airbrushed)
• jean jacket with buttons/pins (try a comic book store)
• wearing jeans with a jean jacket
• jean jacket with a colorful bandana
• large, colored, plastic eyeglass frames
• big hair with poofy bangs
• oversized champion sweatshirt with matching slouchy socks, leggings, and scrunchie
• jelly bracelets
• high top sneakers with slouchy socks, worn over the bottom of your jeans
• neon tops/outfits
• tye dye anything
• shoulder padded colorblock blazers & stirrup pants with high-heeled lace-up boots
• jean shorts cut way up so that the pockets hang underneath the bottom of the leg openings
• jeans with large patches on them (sometimes suede patches) and a "bodysuit" or leotard as a shirt
• flannel shirts (tucked or untucked, with jeans or jean shorts)
• leggings and long printed t-shirts with hightops or pumps
• parachute pants and an oversized, colorful, tucked in, button down shirt
• high waist jeans and a tucked in shirt

Hope those ideas help. "Google Images" is a great place for ANY costume ideas.

Flannel shirts tied around your waist.
"Cold shoulder" shirts or shirts with sheer sleeves.
Babydoll flowered dresses w/ Doc Maartens boots.

Ree, the Deadheads might get after you for that tie dye comment.

Dang right, tie dye is and will always be cool.

Heehee. There was a time when it seemed "everyone" was into tie-dye. It's just not "everywhere" like it was during other time periods. I remember girls tie-dying their Champion sweatshirts, matching scrunchie sox, matching hair scrunchie, all in similar colors. Or tie-dying leggings, which in my opinion, did nothing for anyone. Large circles of color on your thighs are unflattering on everyone.

Thanks for the warning, though!!
