Clearly, I HAD to do an 80s inspired look. Introducing: Olivia’s Totally 80s Rocker Girl Outfit
I didn’t have the space to show a picture of the skirt layers over at Project Run and Play, but I described that the skirt has a top layer of straight up 80s pink, two layers of tulle netting, and built-in knit shorts – here’s a picture for you:
Perfect for playful girls, right?
You can also read more about the jacket over at Project Run and Play, but I have to tell you how excited I was when this came together. Making a pattern for a jacket was not an easy feat, and then to make it with an asymmetrical zipper with perfectly folding flaps – whoo! that took a LOT of brain power. All of the details on this jacket took careful planning, but the overall finished product is just perfect. I had the best time searching for pictures of 80s icons. I included television shows and movies that I loved as a kid – looking at the MTV mosaic on Liv’s jacket just makes me smile! Do you see any of YOUR 80s favorites?

I’m visiting from Project Run & Play and I just wanted to say that I LOVE this outfit. As I was scrolling down, I was thinking that I wouldn’t be able to decide because they are all great and then I got to yours and it was like BAM!!! So much fun and that jacket is AMAZING. Nice job!!

Did I just see Paula Abdul on the back of that denim jacket?
So cool how you did that! Love that too.
I was a little bit of a big fan of Paula.
