Disco trash party look

Tonight I am going to a 'disco/trash' birthday party, which means I need to dress accordingly.

Who is on top of the trash look?

Well, there obviously was Courtney Love, anything punk in the 70s, Britney Spears during her downfall, Amy Winehouse. And these are only a few.

The trash look comes from the 1970s, as an anti-authority, anti-decency with a 'dress - or often, undress - to shock'.

It is all about micro shorts, torn fishnet tights, tattoos, a no-bra (or no t-shirt) policy and smudged make-up.

Courtney Love seems the most appropriate to copy for the occasion - well to an extent anyways.

I am not quite as brave with the indecency though, so I might conjoin the trickiest trend of the season - skin-tight shinny nylon leggings - with an 80s buckle-belt and call it Olivia Newton John in Grease.

It's always good to be able to try a trend in a party environment before wearing it during the day. So be it for the leggings.
