My favourites are #1 and #3.</p> <p>I, too, had a leopard skirt in the 80s (and early 90s). And in fact, today I am wearing a leather skirt similar to yours. Mine is from Friitala in Finland. Superb quality. Thrifted around 2003. I don't know how old it really is. I supposed it was from 2000, but it might be older. Nevertheless, it seems to never go out of style. Practically every time I wear it, I get compliments from younger persons. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/animal-prints-in-1989-and-more#post-2070774 Mon, 21 Oct 2019 19:49:44 +0000 kellygirl 2070774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're taking me back.

Gorgeous outfits. Interesting to see how that fashion era is so on trend now. Outfit 1 - 3 would look very current now.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/animal-prints-in-1989-and-more#post-2070766 Mon, 21 Oct 2019 19:37:07 +0000 MsMaven 2070766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Donna, DH had made partner and for the first time in 20+ years of marriage we had enough money for me to give up sewing my own clothes and upgrade, which was a lot of fun. I loved Anne Klein II and early DKNY, also--well, can't think of her name right now. Of course, with our kids in college and earthquake damage, money got a little tight in the following years, but we made it through the challenges. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/animal-prints-in-1989-and-more#post-2070738 Mon, 21 Oct 2019 18:37:26 +0000 cindysmith 2070738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what a trip down memory lane </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/animal-prints-in-1989-and-more#post-2070610 Mon, 21 Oct 2019 15:05:22 +0000 Cardiff girl 2070610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>this has been like trip down memory lane for me,thank you so much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/animal-prints-in-1989-and-more#post-2070605 Mon, 21 Oct 2019 14:58:33 +0000 Liesbeth 2070605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pics!

The '80s were magical </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/animal-prints-in-1989-and-more#post-2070514 Mon, 21 Oct 2019 04:22:07 +0000 Anonymous 2070514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the look back. I was. Ever a fan of the shoulder pads as my shoulders are already wide but had friends who .loved them to balance out hips. It was impossible to find jackets and coats without those shoulder pads. The hardest was a top with shoulder pads under a topper with shoulder pads. Oh, the horror </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/animal-prints-in-1989-and-more#post-2070492 Mon, 21 Oct 2019 02:01:27 +0000 DonnaF 2070492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for posting those pics. I loved Anne Klein II but couldn't afford her stuff unless it was on deep discount -- at I. Magnin. I was a big time shoulder pad fan -- made my waist look so small! And it was in those days relatively speaking, lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/animal-prints-in-1989-and-more#post-2070485 Mon, 21 Oct 2019 01:30:53 +0000 Jaime 2070485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoa 80s throw back! Great pictures, thanks for sharing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/animal-prints-in-1989-and-more#post-2070483 Mon, 21 Oct 2019 01:24:41 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2070483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These photos are so fun to see! I had a similar black leather skirt around that time, too. You were as stylish then as you are now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/animal-prints-in-1989-and-more#post-2070474 Sun, 20 Oct 2019 23:55:36 +0000 rachylou 2070474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s the black nylons that say ‘Princess Di’ to me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/animal-prints-in-1989-and-more#post-2070470 Sun, 20 Oct 2019 23:35:33 +0000 MsMaven 2070470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, I've been busy scanning more photos from 1989, including a couple of reunions we went to a few weeks before the big quake. Leopard prints were popular that year as well. We had a family reunion in Salt Lake City and a 25 year reunion there as well.&nbsp;</p> <p>Leather skirts were popular too.</p> <p>I found a dress in my folk's basement that my Mom kept, worn to the winter formal in 1963. Thirty years ago I could still get into it, although some added dimension in the waist. Unfortunately, I don't have one from '63.&nbsp;</p> <p>1-2-8 leopard outfits. Ignore the guy behind me in 8. I think the skirt was Adrienne Vitadini and the top AKII.&nbsp;<br />4 leather skirt, possibly AKII. Wool knit top is AKII.<br />5 Me and my almost 82-yr-old dad and 80-yr-old mom.<br />6 Two 80s ladies. More about us later.&nbsp;<br />7-8 Winter prom dress 1963. I swear I did weigh the same in '89 as I did in '63, but I had a couple of kids since then. Nothing like a reunion to inspire a diet.&nbsp;</p> <p>So if you want some '80s inspiration, I can promise you those were not my real shoulders.&nbsp; </p>
