teaming up with rhinestone jewelry or other such beaded jewelry. There is no harm in playing
with the outfits. Gaudy and stupid was cool in the 80s! Another peculiar feature of 80s prom

dyed so as to match them with the desired outfit. These days, however shoes can be easily
obtained in a number of exciting colors and patterns.

this, there is a well defined punk hairstyle and a wig may easily be acquired from a specific
costume shop.

black leotard and a grey sweatshirt expresses the real flavor of Flashdance.
