Desperately Seeking Susan Fashion Tribute

Back again with my film/fashion tribute this time with another of my all time favourite films DESPERATELY SEEKING SUSAN. This 80s cult classic starring Madonna is truely inspirational to me and my love of 80s music and fashion. Although these days my style favours more ethereal and gothic tones, the 80s and its trashy, rainbow coloured, sequins and glitter, multitude of accessories with entourage of back combing and hair spray, will always remain close to my heart.

This decade is the most fun and playful of all the styles I love. With bright colours and playful prints and combination of feminine sexy dresses and underwear as outer wear paired with boxy oversized men's blazers and tee's. This style screams playful attitude. Denim resides throughout for it's casual, laid back essence. Stealing your boyfriends clothes is a necessity for achieving this look, whether its their tee's that you've rolled the sleeves up and tied a knot in the waist, or their blazer jacket. Head scarves and bows achieve that vital Madonna esque vibe this style epitomizes. Clothes are a 'mish/mash and trash' style with a thrown together, yet making an effort in a can't be bothered fashion.
