Spandex, Scrunchees and Sunglasses

Tonight, I went to an 80's party with Mom. Yeah, I know, a party with your mother sounds like a super lame idea. However, it wasn't all that bad.
We got all dressed up in our 80's garb. I wore three pairs of spandex shorts at once! They were layered  lime green, navy blue and then lime green again. Then I wore a slouchy teal shirt a huge scrunchy and a head band. I was the epitome of style. Mom, however, was a WHOLE different story. She wore a lime green bathing suit cover up. It's a mesh fabric style and fits like a long tank top. I gave her my black leggings and a big black belt to wear with that oh-so-stylish dress. She grabbed a headband and a scrunchee for herself and some slouchy soccer socks acted as leg warmers. She kicked my butt in the style category!
We went to the party and a few of Mom's teacher friends were there and we walked around the room lightly socializing with people. We ate all of the standard tasty finger foods that are always at little cocktail party type things. The one single thing that absolutely blew my mind was the sheer quantity of alcohol at this house! I mean, there was an entire counter devoted to alcohol. It was nonsense. There were only around 25 people at the party and there was enough alcohol to successfully waste 100 people! Crazy.
But, we eventually got bored and made our way out. Everyone loved mom's 'dress' and asked where she got it. She said it was a little something she found in the back of her closet. LAWLZ! It's mostly funny because it's a bathing suit cover-up that resides in the FRONT of her closet and was purchased much more recently than the 1980's. Oh well, at least I got a laugh out of it. Totally worth it.
So, as far as parties go, this was not my favorite, nor was it my least favorite. It was socially awkward, but chock-full-o entertaining outfits and tasty noms. So, I guess it all balances out.
