The necklace and earrings are lovely and still suit you. I loved your 80’s perm, such soft curls and not the 80’s frizz that was very popular. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1980s-chain-hair-and-paris#post-2115424 Tue, 21 Apr 2020 06:33:23 +0000 Anonymous 2115424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wear your gold jewelry and remember a Paris. I especially like your red cardigan over the turquoise top in #11. I agree with Angie that the red lounge outfit looks too big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1980s-chain-hair-and-paris#post-2115399 Tue, 21 Apr 2020 01:59:06 +0000 Jaime 2115399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the shots from Paris. You have the best jewelry. The chain looks great now and then! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1980s-chain-hair-and-paris#post-2115379 Mon, 20 Apr 2020 23:38:28 +0000 slim cat 2115379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pictures from Paris - and fun hair ( I do remember getting perm as well on my fine hair ). My last perm was probably in 1992 ( or 1993 ) - I stopped doing it after my daughter was born.&nbsp;<br />Your jewelry looks like brand new and very becoming on you! I like <br />pic # 4 and 6 best.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1980s-chain-hair-and-paris#post-2115366 Mon, 20 Apr 2020 21:54:25 +0000 Angie 2115366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such fun pics of Paris back in the '80s!&nbsp;</p> <p>The era of the perm......it was quite something.....</p> <p>Fabulous that the chain looks as incredible now as it did back then. WEAR IT. With the earrings. And with a pendant. Why not? - #4, 5 and 6 look great!</p> <p>I think the red lounge suit looks a size big.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1980s-chain-hair-and-paris#post-2115361 Mon, 20 Apr 2020 21:10:53 +0000 MsMaven 2115361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gold chains and permed hair were all the rage in the late 70s and 80s. I still have this 24" diamond cut gold cable chain from those days, not to mention the big gold earrings. I've wondered if I could still wear them. I do occasionally put a pendant on the chain, but it hangs right in the middle of the bust line. We also wore multiple chains. I was excited to read the chains were coming back, but as usual, it's never quite the same the second time around.</p> <p>Sorry this is so long: I'm evaluating everything in my closet and drawers.</p> <p>I start out with a lounging top and pants I bought a couple of years ago on a whim while looking for kids's pjs. I'm just not a lounging outfit person. I just don't wear them. But what if I wore the bottoms alone? Such lovely soft velour. Nope. I've tried the top alone, but it doesn't fit me right. I did find a great use for the top: for jewelry display.</p> <p>Tried chain with blue Boden top, BR faux leather pants, (they stretch a lot) and the J Crew long cardi, which I didn't like together. Slightly better with the NAS jacket that I haven't worn that much. Maybe I shouldn't let myself get so carried away with the sale--just buy basics.</p> <p>I decided to add 1 or 2 photos from our first trip to Paris, but I found it difficult to limit them. I wore the chain nearly every day. Also had my hair permed, which I did a number of times until I got a round styling brush so badly entangled I had to cut it out. I went to a salon in San Francisco to get a damage report. Result: no more perms for my fine straight hair. Learn to live with it!</p> <p>1-6 Figuring out if the chain still works. Maybe not with these clothes.</p> <p>7-12 Paris with shoulder pads and curly hair. That was an AKII sweater--one of my favorites. Think the pale yellow was a Liz Claiborne.&nbsp;</p> <p>I still have the pearl ring that shows in #7. #10 is for fun. #13, of course we checked out the Cartier store as well as Chanel. In that era we just window shopped.</p> <p>I came home fascinated by the art we'd seen and began art history classes at the local community college.&nbsp; </p>
