Remember how I said that we’d fit right in at the 80s show, wearing outfits like this?
Well, we did. For the most part.
There were some other people in wayfarers; some rocking side ponytails; plenty more wearing leg warmers. But I didn’t see a single soul in a tutu (outside of our group, of course).
Shocked?
I know. Me too.
And here’s the thing: did we feel ridiculous in all that tulle? Of course!
But was it completely worth it? Without a doubt.
This is what happens when you don't take into account the flavor of your ring pop. Stupid purple mouth.
And I picked up a few pointers while wearing said tutu that I’d like to pass along – just in case you ever find yourself in a similar situation.
- Wearing a tutu does not automatically make you as graceful as a ballerina. Trust me.
- Peeing while gathering all your tulle is truly an art form – tricky at first, but necessary to master for a successful night.
- Tutus overall are a conversation starter. Men, women – everyone wants to know why and where you got them. Some women will even ask permission to steal the idea for their own bachelorette parties. Steal away, ladies.
Final verdict: The bachelorette party was a huge success. The bride-to-be had a blast and we all rocked our 80s style.
Plus, I now have a ready-made costume for next Halloween. Who ever said tutus were just for one-time use?
Maybe my suburban Pittsburgh high school was more into the Britpop aspects of the 80s, cause I really, really don’t remember anyone outside of a video wearing tutus. Although I do remember the leg warmers. That was big. Along with ski turtlenecks and Vuarnet sunglasses on a string around your neck.
What I want to know is now that we’re into the teens of our new century, when are we going to start having 90s parties? Aren’t we far enough removed? You know, everyone could wear flannel and mumble all night long and pretend to hate everything and everyone. Well, now that I think about it, that might not be the best idea for a party.
I thought the same as you – why the tutus? The answer I got was part Cyndi Lauper, part just because. So I just went with it.
And I could totally go for a 90s party. I had multiple flannel shirts – that I would often wear tied around my waist. Super cool.
Ha, WOW. That mouth color really adds to the outfit, as a whole.
You gals seriously went all out – Halloween, 2011? Those leggings can’t be used just once!
I plan on wearing those leggings as often as possible. Whether or not that’s in public is a different story.
HOTTTTTT.
this makes me want to go to a legwarmers show again ASAP.
