Wednesday evening, my husband and I got to be a part of rock and roll history when we saw Motely Crue perform an amazing show in their final tour as a band.
Any of you around in the 80’s know Motely Crue was one of the iconic hair bands of glam rock. My hubby and I were both in that scene back in the day, him as a performer and me as a fan.
The songs of those years transport me to a time when I drove a little Fiero, wore a Wilson’s leather jacket, used a ton of hairspray to keep my spiral perm looking “bitchin” and listened to Crue, Ratt, Poison, and Cinderella on cassette tapes. (I’m sure I lost a few of my younger readers here ….)
But anyway, back to the present. What would I wear to this fun rock concert? I didn’t want to look like I was wearing a costume and yet I wanted to be in the rocker spirit of things! This is what I came up with (with a lot of fun suggestions from my FB and IG buddies).
The rock and roll is in the details … moto jacket (Members Only), layered chain necklaces (old), black booties (old and comfy), studded belt (Calvin Klein) and a pop of red with a studded cross body bag (Jessica Simpson).
