Haven’t gotten your eighties outfit yet? We’ve got some recommendations for where to shop for last minute threads! Remember when dressing up for eighties – go big or go home. Read on…
1. Savers – This Berlin turnpike superstore should be on everyone’s bucket list to visit before they leave Trinity. Savers is the size of a department store, but it is completely filled with secondhand items! It takes some digging, but you can find some killer 80s items from the decade itself!
2. The Salvation Army – The Salvation Army is much smaller than Savers, but has some great thrift store attire. Definitely should be a stop on your quest.
3. The Coop – Many people don’t know this, but our very own campus has a secondhand store! In the basement of Jackson, the Coop has a used clothes section that is a perfect way to get cheap clothes conveniently!
4. Walmart – Walmart has some DIY options: Buy a crewneck sweatshirt, cut off of the neck, and wear it off the shoulder. You can also buy gloves and cut the fingers off, Madonna-style. Walmart even has scrunchies! Eighties ensemble: done-zo.
Look your best for Eighties on Saturday, October 15, and as Simple Minds’ “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” fades out, you know you will be the best dressed at Eighties 2011.
