So figuring out six looks for our time warp New Year\u2019s Eve celebration really spread that fun all through the month leading up to the big day. I settled on a stretchy black maxi skirt paired with a simple white cami and shimmery silver cardigan that is comfy for dancing, but stylish enough for an evening partying with friends\u2014and can be altered in any number of ways, depending on the decade. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For my first fashion switch-up of the night, I channeled my early 2000s self and swapped my silver cardigan for a velour zip-up hoody, pinning my hair up with a few butterfly clips. When the 90\u2019s rolled around, the velour was traded out for a well-worn band tee and flannel, and my hair was let loose according to the 90s grunge fad.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6494\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6494\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.elfster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/80s-Accessories.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6494\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.elfster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/80s-Accessories-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"neon bracelets\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/80s-Accessories-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/80s-Accessories-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/80s-Accessories-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/80s-Accessories-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/80s-Accessories-270x270.jpg 270w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/80s-Accessories.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6494\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bright accessories of days past | Image courtesy Amazon seller <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Dress-Up-Finger-less-Bracelets-Assortment-Super\/dp\/B01B59V6ZW%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAIMLKPQSGTYE5YV6Q%26tag%3Dei-wish-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB01B59V6ZW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Super Z Outlet<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To bring my outfit even further back to the 80s, the flannel and tee became a slouchy sweater worn off one shoulder. I also folded my skirt up and pulled on a pair of leg warmers and neon tennis shoes. Of course, I throw my hair into a side pony and add a couple jelly bracelets from my purse to finish off the ensemble. Finally, by pulling my maxi dress up over my bustline, removing my sweater and cami, and adding a fringe scarf at my waist, some chunky heels, circle shades, and a few colorful beaded necklaces, I\u2019m suddenly 70s Boho-chic. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>And I have to throw a little praise at Andrew for the creative way he turned his attire of a pair of blue jeans and a plain white t-shirt into outfits that completely took us back in time. His addition of a Von Dutch trucker hat and pyramid studded belt for the early 2000s were replaced by a color blocked shirt the Fresh Prince himself would\u2019ve envied in the 90s, buttoned only at the top. A lime green windbreaker, and coordinating neon visor, topped his newly cuffed jeans when he switched into 80s mood, and he finished out the night in a 70s\u2019 striped brown and green sweater vest and loafers that I can only imagine lived in his father\u2019s closet for the last 45 years since they were so spot on for the decade.<\/p>\n<h4>Foods of Parties Past<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Needless to say, all of our wardrobe changes were pretty comical to watch, and all that laughter had us working up an appetite.
