By Julie Anderson Got a boring tunic or jean jacket? Some Keds or a baseball hat that could use spiffing up? A purse that whispers “plain” instead of shouting “AWESOME”? Don’t be dull, baby – be DAZZLING!
I’m digging the 80s fingernails on the box photo as well!

Sleek bodysuits were a wardrobe staple in the 1980’s. This BeDazzler designer took a simple black bodysuit and transformed it into a chic top for an evening out. I see it sparkling with a curvy pencil skirt and high-heeled boots:

This sweatsuit is a great example of glamming up a casual outfit with the BeDazzler. What was just a simple lounge set (with shoulder pads, duh) becomes a flashy and fabulous ensemble. Sartorial GENIUS, eighties style:

I love this tough girl rocker-chic pleather vest. RADICAL. I think it calls for full 80’s commitment with black parachute pants and some wicked stilettos:

HOW CUTE are these white leather booties? They beg to be worn with your pleated pinstripe jeans, slouchy socks, and intarsia sweater:

Here’s another adorable BeDazzled shoe option. Slide your feet into these sweet little casual loafers and you’ll be walking on sunshine with every step you take:

Oh my gosh, I love this mustard purse. That’s just fun in a bag right there. Wearing this will elevate your basic fall turtleneck and jeans into an attention grabbing, retro-chic outfit:

I was a big fan of the men’s blazer look in the eighties. I had a vintage maroon blazer with black lapels that I threw over a T and jeans and topped with a wool felt hat for that timeless Annie Hall feel. This BeDazzled blazer takes the menswear look UP TO ELEVEN:

The jean jacket was the ideal canvas for some BeDazzling artwork. This cropped, studded jacket would be cute with just about anything, but I see it slipped over a mini sweater dress and high boots this fall:

Be creative, be attention-getting, be retro: BeDazzling!

A lot of the stuff my mom bought me as a kid came pre-bedazzled. The problem with not owning one though, was that you’d always loose some of that bling in the washer & couldn’t replace it.
