Are you a girl?  I would hate to give you advice and you end up looking like the opposite sex. ;)

this has more clothes descriptions than you could ever imagine:

http://www.inthe80s.com/clothes/index.shtml

you could also try typing "80's fashions" or "fashions of the 1980s" or something of the sort on google.
if you need more pointers, just post.

ok, now that we know your gender...

hair: BIG! tease it, fluff it, blowdry it, just make it stand out. if you have shorter hair or if it's thin you might want to crimp it also, you hcan wear side pony tails or half ponies brushed to the side with big bows, a la madonna

tops: neons, spandex, off-the-shoulder shirts, baggy shirts over tighter pants, jean jackets

bottoms: tight jeans (prefferably acid washed), mini skirts over leggings--or either by themselves, other skirts, crazy patterns

shoes: stilletos, pumps, jelly shoes, and particulary---> converse all stars (chuck taylors)

acessories: wear lots of jewlery-- big pearls, crazy colors, beads, jelly bracelets, etc.

if you still havent got the feel for it, ask your mom. even if she didn't wear all the stuff, she still was prob. around in the 80s and can help you w/that.
also, if this is more of a formal dance and you want an actual dress, hunt through the thrift stores for anything w/big sleeves. (like deb's in napoleon dynamite)

hope that help!
