Tia's 1970s Disco Costume

Let's bring back the memories of the 70s. A challenging decade of soaring inflation, cultural change and technological innovation. Most importantly the era where the rise of disco began.

I know nothing much about the 1970s (I'm an 80's kid 😅) and I even have to Google about it because Tia has to dress up in the 1970s disco costume for their school's 50th anniversary. And it really brings back the memories of reading and listening to the playlists that the school send to us parents.

The Costume

Getting a costume is not so hard because you can get everything now online. It's quite dear if you get a brand new one on Amazon and for a 1 time only event I choose to get one in Vinted.

Just like who sold it, her daughter only uses it once and I only paid £5 for it so that's a good bargain.

We were really excited as yesterday while doing the shopping I get her things to go with her costume. It's freezing and it's very light these clothes so I need to get her covered to keep her warm.

Too excited that the night before she tried it out and lol she don't want to take it off.

She got lovely glasses on! I got that long sleeve turtle neck and thick tights underneath her trousers.

Hippie Look

And that's her this morning! Oh, she's so cute. Don't mind her Momma as she just wants to be in the picture.

Some additional accessories like that dangling flower earring. For the first time in 6 years, this is the first time I take off her stud.

My husband said the fur coat is the 1970s thing too so we put it on. I can see Elton John on her lol.

And she was practising the dance Don't Stop Me Now. She was a bit shy to show us the choreography so she goes to her room and danced.

These are their playlist for the kid's disco:

YMCA - The Village People

Block Buster - The Sweet

Crazy Horses - The Osmonds

Waterloo - Abba

Blame it on the boogie - The Jacksons

Rasputin - Boney M Shang a Lang Bay City Rollers

I love to boogie - T Rex

You’re the ones that I want - John Travolta & Olivia Newtown-John

Mama Mia - ABBA

Dancing Queen - ABBA

Teenage Kicks - The Undertones

I feel love - Donna Summer

My Sharona - The Knack

Rock the Boat - Hues Corporation

He’s the greatest dancer - Sister Sledge

Jean Jeanie - David

Hot Stuff - Donna Summer

Do you recognized the songs? Surely! Ohh great hits of all time most of them. And I love Abba.

I'm sure they are enjoying the day with good music with their teachers and classmates. It's also good that the new generation is introduced to the 1970s era. To show them what we used to dress at that time and what kind of music we listen to. The old songs are different from this modern music. Classic. They are far too good!

Glad she let me take one picture at school.

Enjoy, my sweetheart!

It's Friday, yey! I can't wait to have a good rest. It sounds so good already. I'll be working until 9 pm so the rest is something I'm looking forward to.

How's your week?

Is Friday sound good to you too?

Thank you for reading.
