    Very nice - just a bit more eyeliner needed if I remember my 80's correctly!
  • annagybe replied 7 years ago

    Totally gorgeous and fun! This tux was created just for you!

    Love the whole look.  Where did you get those booties?
  • replied 7 years ago
    Rita you look SO fab! Love the high heels and the long tails. Dance the night away, sister!
  • modgrl replied 7 years ago
    The jacket was amazing. I felt so powerful, like superwoman in it. BJ the boots are 6 year old Michael Kors stiletto booties. I don't wear them much but I still love them.
  • Transcona Shannon replied 7 years ago
    WHOO HOO!!! Let's hear it for a fellow shortie rocking those tails. You look INCREDIBLE Rita!!!

    Wow! You look great and I wish I could come too it sounds such fun :)
  • merwoman replied 7 years ago
    You look amazing!! Hope you had a fab time!
  • CocoLion replied 7 years ago
    Great outfit!   I know "sexy" isn't used a lot on this forum, but this outfit is.  There's a bit of Annie Lenox in this one.  

    (And I keep looking at those Rag & Bone tux jackets with desire in my heart.)

    This was such a fantastic looking and fun outfit - I hope you had an equally fantastic time!
  • Deborah replied 7 years ago
    You look amazing! That is a fabulous jacket;)
  • Thistle replied 7 years ago
    You look amazing!  Everything about this is just perfect on spot on, the fit, the booties, the necklace peeking out. Just perfect!
  • Sarah A replied 7 years ago
    Super! That jacket is soooo much fun, perfectly paired here. I hope you have a great time!
  • Jjsloane replied 7 years ago
    Super Fab and now I have the following earworm:
    Her name is Rita and she dances on the sand
    Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
    And when she shines she really shows you all she can
    Oh Rita Rita dance across the Rio Grande
  • Joy replied 7 years ago
    The tux look is amazing on you!  You need to find more occasions to wear this outfit
  • Beth Ann replied 7 years ago
    You look amazing -- hope the evening is spectacular!
  • Debora replied 7 years ago
    Adorable!
  • goldenpig replied 7 years ago
    You rock, Rita!

    And I love Jeanne's song!
  • lyn67 replied 7 years ago
    WOW, wish you a good time!
  • Angie replied 7 years ago
    A very late KILLER :)
  • Mochi replied 7 years ago
    Such excellent panache and swagger! 
  • Tanya replied 7 years ago
    Amazing!  Love everything about that outfit.
  • Susie replied 7 years ago
    Hot!!

    I totally understand why you would feel like superwoman, you look amazing!
  • Vildy replied 7 years ago
    I love how you started the fun before you even got there. If that isn't a partying outfit, I don't know what is.
  • Kyle replied 7 years ago
    You are a petite gal with very BIG style. I love the way you can carry off dramatic styles, and they work beautifully. I hope you feel as amazing as you look in this ensemble. Fab!
  • Girl X replied 7 years ago
    Gorgeous! I love that you could totally wear this exact outfit to a non 80's event, yet it somehow works perfectly for an 80's prom as well!
  • catgirl replied 7 years ago
    THIS IS SO FAB!  Perfect debut!
  • replied 7 years ago
    Stunning!
  • rachylou replied 7 years ago
    OMG! That jacket is TDF!

    You better run and hide, sweetie. I will nab your jacket.

    Love it with the spiky heel boots.
  • modgrl replied 7 years ago
    Damn! I did not expect to see this outpouring of love! Thank you all. I felt like a million bucks in this jacket.

    When Angie picks something and says it is impeccably tailored, you can bet it is going to be worth a second look!

    I am planning to wear the jacket to some family events this summer and fall. Hope they are ready for some gender bending androgynous fun! I have a silky white blouse to wear underneath but I am seriously considering the J.Crew Tux shirt Angie posted the other day.

    Now I'm sorry I didn't try it!

    Totally awesome! I love how sassy this is!

Hi I'm modgrl and this is my blog. I work full time and have two sweet little ones. I have wide leeway in how I dress for my job but I know my youthful appearance and petite stature can make age appropriate polished dressing a challenge. On the weekends I like to have some fun with clothes that can take a beating while we are worm digging and puppy chasing.
