90's Costume Theme Party

If you are anything like me when you hear theme party your first thought is ooo that's cool. Then you think about it for a little while longer and the pressure of having to not only think of but find a good costume starts to sink in.

Going to a 90's party you have your  main options: Grunge, Spice Girls or Fresh Prince fashion and Double Denim. I have discovered that you don't always have to go that far out of your way to find some stuff to make a creative and fun 90's costume. With this in mind I first went to what I already had at home looking for fun bright things to wear, and I went straight to my sock draw. I think that bright fun socks would be perfect for any 90's costume, and they are fun as well.

I decided to go with the purple socks with the watermelons on them just because i think they are super cute :). The purple socks are from Cotton On, the green ones with the cat are from K-mart as is the teddy bear and strawberry socks.

Once I had decided on wearing the socks I remembered that I had a green top that would be great with it, plus Mum told be that pastel colours were big in the 90's and i decided to add a denim jacket with it because everyone knows denim was HUGE!

The light green top is from Cotton On and the denim jacket cropped with 3/4 selves from Jay Jays (i think).

I also knew that I wanted to wear my hair 1/2 up 1/2 down with a fun scrunchy in it and have big curly hair. I found these two super fun ones at Top Shop. But I decided that the orange one looked the best, and I love the cream detailing on the outside, I though it was more fitting for the 90's style.

After I had all these pieces in mind, I went to some second hand / op shops with some friends to look for some second hand retro 90's clothing, or anything fun that I could add to my outfit, and I think that I found the perfect thing.

They have a huge platform which is 90's in itself but the best part is........

That they have wheels!!! Now they are from a second hand shop so i made sure to spray the inside and only wear them with socks, but I think they are so fun! And also will be a conversation stater at the party :) I also think that im going to add some bright fun shoe laces.                                                                                   

Overall, I think that theme parties are super fun, I paired this whole outfit with a tight fitting black skirt as I wanted to keep the focus on the hair and the shoes and though that double denim would take away from       that. However, I hope that this have given you some ideas for your upcoming costume parties!
