I Hate the 80s

Many of you should know this because I have brought the topic up previously, but I hate the 80s. (Ha! After I wrote this I found that I titled two other posts "I hate the 80s." Here and here. I'm nothing if not consistent.) I did not like the 80s at the time, and while I have been desensitized by seeing so many skinny jeans in the last 5 years or so and have seriously been considering buying a pair, I DON'T like 80s throwbacks or the honoring of the 80s in any way. [Deep breath.] BUT our friend and neighbor Sara threw an 80s theme party, and I admit I had fun shopping at Goodwill for our outfits, and I did have lots of fun at the party. I will say there is nothing like 80s clothing/hair/make-up to make me feel like an awkward little tween again, though.

Greta had a BLAST at the party, and I took a lot of photos of her and Pat dancing. There was a strobe light and I did some slow exposures.

Still, my favorite picture is this one, using a flash.

I am hesitant to post this one because, like I said, the 80s do not look good on me, but I appreciate that Sara set up a prom-style background for photos, and we did take one all-fam shot.

(You're welcome.) I will say I am pretty proud my outfit cost a total of $9 (silver high heels included) - woot! But you can be sure it will be going right back to Goodwill.
