Hi Experts,
I have a real problem with what I should wear for a Millenium party. I want to go
for a disco type look,
but I would like to exactly what style will be in for a night/disco party?
Thnx!

Hey Party Girl!
A disco look sounds perfect for the turn of the Millenium. Very nice
choice! Because the Millenium bug is coming and technology is evolving at
lightening speeds, fashion goes glittery and shiny. Try something really
ostentatious like a big fake fur coat in red or turquoise with a teeny little
sequin skirt a la Dolce and Gabana.
A disco look is definitely not something
you want to scrimp on! Check stores like BeBe and Urban Outfitters for
things like leather (I prefer pleather) fitted flares and racy sequined tops
and skirts.
For shoes go for stiletto heels or funky platform boots. Try a
hip cowboy hat and either frizz up your hair or straighten it. Textures are
very important so mix them up--Stick straigh glossy hair with a fur top and
leather peddle pushers. You could even go for a Jennifer Lopez look and don
70's aviator sunglasses. If you're scrimping, check your local thrift stores
for old 70's low cut dresses and clunky platforms and cowboy hats. Now go
and Party...year 2000 is upon us!
Peace,

Party Girl,
You asked just the right question! With 2000 sneaking up
behind us, we
need to get our thinking caps on! We need to decide on what we
are going to
wear the last night of the century! If the world is to end,
you might as well
spend it looking like a Fashion Diva with her act together!
This years'
motto: If need be, go out with a BANG! (while shaking your
Bon-bon that is!) Ok, finally down to nitty gritty of the situation. I don't know
if you caught
MTV'S Fashionably Loud model search but, the New York finalist
(and
eventually the model search winner) chose a great ensemble for
her "personal
style" portion of the contest. It was definately just right
for those Y2K
bashes.
This outfit consisted of two great items along with a
slinky red top
and a black skirt; knee high boots and a brown leopard print
cowboy hat!
(please, anyone correct me if I'm wrong) Grrrrooovy Baby!
hehe! If you get
this outfit together, or manage to throw something together
just like
it...you'll definately be outta this world! Go get 'em girl!

Hey party girl,
Try going for some sparkly bell bottoms with a shimmery
top for a cool
look. Or play it fancy with a short skirt and cool shirt
with some hair
glitter. I really can't answer this for you - you have to
look out there and
find what you like. Look around at the fashion mags, you'll
soon see whats
in style.
Have fun looking!

Hey Party Girl!
Well, of COURSE you want to look fly for the New Year!! To
get your disco look, you'll want to wear lots of silver. That is kinda THE
New Year look! It gives you that super retro, but awesomely modern look.
Wear
silver makeup on your eyes and lips, and dust some silver powder all over.
Paint your nails sparkly silver, I've seen some really cute stuff. Clothes,
now you could go for the whole silver jump suit thing, but I doubt you have
one, and I doubt you'd actually go buy one! So if you are going to a party,
you'll want to wear something nice.
I'd wear like a nice short dress.
Like a red spagetti strap dress or something. Like a Homecoming type dress,
or a long dress if you prefer. Jeans and stuff wouldn't be very
good. So just wear something nice, but not like a prom formal dress. That
would probably put you a little out of place at MOST parties. Have fun!
Always,
Shantel

Dear Party Girl,
I can only stress one word to you as far as disco attire
is concerned:
GLITTER.
Glitter is a perennial favorite of the disco dancer,
and myself. I
suggest a very sparkly top; if you are daring, show a little
skin with a
halter top. Pair it with skinny black pants. Cigarette pants
or flairs in
smooth fabric, such as pleather or satin, are both good bets.
And in the
grand tradition of disco era footwear, find yourself some
super tall
platforms. Be wary of how high those platforms are if you
intend to dance the
night away though. Wear dramatic make up; heavy on the
eyeliner, eye shadow,
mascara, and apply body glitter generously!
Happy New Year!:)
