It's party time and I've got nothing to wear!

A crazy outfit to wear to the Electric Daisy Carnival?

I made a snap decision to go to this party, locked in to go, and now I'm drawing a blank as to what to wear to it. I kind of want to go all-out on a costume. Please give me your craziest and funkiest ideas for a girl's outfit for a 2-day party in LA!

I'll be flying out there, preferably the costume will fit in one suitcase ;)

YES. I pretty much live in the kind of clothing you'd wear to Electric Daisy Carnival.

Some random ideas:

I did this hairstyle for a Black Moth Super Rainbow show this weekend and it actually stayed in place while dancing surprisingly well.

Lolita glasses, or some ridiculous hipster shades from Giant Vintage.

Studded tights.

This dress from Ruffeo Hearts Lil Snotty.

Sparkly hot pink leg warmers/boot covers. They glow under black light and scream "THE NINETIES ARE BACK, AND NOT THE BORING FLANNEL WEARING NINETIES; THE E-TARDED PACIFIER SLURPING NINETIES."

Hello Kitty hairclip.

Minnie Mouse ears with bow. Only $6.

Orange armwarmers. Pink and black armwarmers.

This t-shirt in a huge size, with tiny tiny tiny short shorts underneath, and these thigh-high socks, or latex stockings.

An entire package of glow bracelets split between wrists. Throw in some kitschy decora charm bracelets, or handmade bracelets made from cheap plastic pony beads.

Something like this.

A kitty cat backpack! It's made for a toddler, I'd check the dimensions to make sure it's fit on your back and fit your essentials.

Clubbers Die Younger t-shirt.

$10 flowered swim cap.

Insanely trippy patterned tights.

Shu Uemura eyelashes. Cheaper eyelashes.

If I was going I'd probably wear something like this or this, but that's me.

Some more totally completely random inspiration that may or may not inspire you.

If you still have the same hairstyle as in your profile pic,

A) we're kind of twins

and

B) Special Effects in Atomic Pink and Cupcake Pink both glow this insane neon radioactive orange under blacklight. I'd recommend Atomic Pink after trying both.

Ha ha, I should have previewed. Sorry I'm the only one posting answers to your awesome question. We must just be cooler than everyone else.

Having gone to EDC many times in the past, I have to say, the best thing about these kind of parties is you can wear what ever the hell you damn want. But please, don't wear over sized wings if you plan on dancing. Nothing is more annoying than being smacked in the face with some glittery wings while trying to get your groove on.

Other than that, go as crazy or as bummy as you please. Have fun!

Great ideas Juliet! Seconding the no wings.. No wings.

Sorry, severely unhelpful post. I'll see you there, Liz!

I just came in here to push you toward Ms. Banana. But I see she already got the Batusi-Signal.

Talk amongst yourselves.

Juliet, thanks for that. I tore through my closet and went shopping, and your suggestions definitely helped me keep an eye out for funkier option. I'm pretty happy with what I got. No fairy wings ;)
