Just looking for some advice....

I'm invited to a charity event tonight at a home that is going to be filled with Doctors, attorneys, politicians and other six figure salary people. The catch is that there is a theme tonight and everyone is to dress "White Trash". The event is being held in a garage of a mansion and they are going to have Boones Farm wine in cardboard cases, a keg up on milk crates and the main course tonight is White Castle Sliders! LOL

The men are going to wear ripped jeans, high-tops, rock t-shirts and mullets. As for the women......I have NO idea what to wear. Everything that I try to put together looks like I'm going to an 80's party. I was thinking spandex with a tanktop, which really looked bad and trashy when I was 40 pounds heavier. But now that I lost weight, it looks more sexier and I look like I'm leaning more towards a prostitute look rather that white trash.

Should I rat my hair or leaves it flat and spray oil on it? I don't know. I need help with advice. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    I would wear my rattiest, most stained graphic tee, a pair of dirty canvas shoes, and jeans. Do your hair 80's style, or wear it in curlers. Sounds like a BLAST!

    Sounds like a crazy good time!

    i'd say any sort of band Tee shirt...poison, Ratt, Metalica. Ripped would be nice. And some sort of animal print stretch pants...I'm imagining leopard print, but zebra would be nice. Hair can go creasy or ratted up...but I'd think greasy first, but only if you want an oily head all night...yeesh.
    If you can hit a dollar store or something along that line and find a clear plastic purse...you'd be striking pure trashy gold with it all thrown together!

    Are they having a contest for trashiest couple by chance?

    haha @ Metallica being considered white trash. that just made me laugh. I love their older music but that's still funny. I say go with a Puddle of Mudd or Nickelback t-shirt.

    You're getting some good suggestions... sounds like a blast! :bigsmile:

    What about a flannel/plad shirt that is buttoned so that the buttons don't line up with the right button holes so that it's not even at the bottom! :laugh: Or... what about those stirrup pants that are leggings! :laugh:

    Post pictures, and have a great time!

    Well, if you don't have any real ones, I'd go buy some of those stick on tattoos and put them anywhere you have skin showing for one thing. (especially cleavage, ankle, lower back) I know tattoos aren't *just* a white trash thing, but it can be conceived as such, or add to the overall picture. I'd also consider chewing gum in a loud obnoxious way, lol. A fake nose ring perhaps? You could stuff your shirt and appear to be very pregnant, maybe in a bit sundress?, then go around trying to find your baby's daddy, lol. Hmm, flip flops, bad make-up, beer can with one of those foam covers around it. Could carry some very neglected babydolls around with you, one hanging off your hip. Or, very skimpy low cut tank top really tight (I'm still envisioning the very pregnant tummy here, lol) Might want to have a pack of cigarettes hanging out somewhere. Ok, that's all the ideas I have at the moment, lol.

    LOVE these ideas!

    The tattoos...perfect! Put one on the back of your hand between your thumb and pointer finger. Nice! The grubby baby dolls is a great idea, too! One on your hip, just sew it to your shirt!



    Or...just dress like the girls on Jersey Shore! Doa big boufant hair-do, color yourself WICKED orangy-fake tan and wear HUGE sunglasses all night. Big hoopy earrings.

    Oh, for hair I'd just pull it up in a clip and then drive around with my head out the window for a while letting get all messy, or could wear a cap of some sort, trucker's cap maybe. I'd definitely love to see pics of whatever you decide, lol. Have fun!
