Pump up your outfit
What’s Cracking Good — Pump Up the Volume outfits
During a night out, a friend and I discovered that a younger companion had never seen a slew of ’80s and ’90s films so we compiled our quintessential slumber party movie list.
A selection from that list:
Girls Just Want to Have Fun
Heathers
Say Anything
Pump Up the Volume
My husband also had never seen the latter, so it went to the Netflix list. A few weeks later I got the email alert the DVD was on its way and started worrying that a movie about a 1990s pirate radio station for disgruntled high school students might not necessarily stand the test of time.
It did and didn’t.
Students tune into the radio show on their boom boxes. Christian Slater talks on a brick-sized portable phone. But the clothes, at least Samantha Mathis’ clothes, would still be cool now.
Here’s a sampling of her PUTV ensembles:
- Lightweight Wool Blazer, $98
- Sunnydale Dress, $74.99
- Floral Brooch, $24
- Combat Boot, $285
- Draped Collar Vest, $88
