Dirty Dancing Movie Night

This post today is sponsored by Skinny Cow


Who doesn’t have fond memories watching Dirty Dancing growing up? It’s a classic from the 80s and the perfect throwback to plan a fun girls movie night around, especially with 80s fashion being so hot right now. I first asked my talented fashion contributor, Ashley, to help put together some ideas on what to wear:

1. Shirt | 2. Shorts | 3. Shirt | 4. Leggings

Here are four outfit ideas, inspired by Dirty Dancing: Signature Baby, Dirty Dancing outfit, Time of Your Life outfit, and Camp Life.

5. Dress | 6. T-shirt | 7. Shorts | 8. Belt | 9. Shoes

What would you wear? After watching the movie again last week (it’s been a while!) I had a super huge crush on Baby’s wardrobe of high-waisted pants (and Patrick Swayze of course). I remember in the 90s thinking she dressed ‘sooo 80s’ (cue rolling eyes), and now I love it! Funny how fashion has come back full circle.
