So a couple of weeks ago I had a 30th birthday party to go to and the theme was 80's prom. Not owning clothes from the 80's, a trip to Chinatown, Spargs (where the 80's went to die?) and PEP was in order.
Here are some of the results...
Me, sporting a fabulous top from PEP and Mon with something that came from the sale rack at Spargs.
Cath (far left) in a 80-ified bridesmaids dress and Juliet (far right) in another gem from the kiddies section of PEP.
These were dresses that were borrowed. The owner grew up in the 80's made these dresses and wore the black one to her real Matric dance and the blue one to a wedding she attended. And although this isn't a good angle, those sleeves were pointy, but she won the title of Prom queen, complete with crown and sash.
Well, um... yes
Oh My days!!! those pics are hilarious! personally I love the 80s and love love love that theme. Spargs has a special place in my heart, it truly is a relic from the 80s department store and I adore it. There is a similar place in Grahamstown, called Birches, which, unlike Spargs, has not had a renovation since my mother was at Rhodes. you. must. know. it is like walking into a time warp. love it.
