With the Fashion Era Challenge, I can't believe Swatch and 'Nets haven't come up sooner. </p> <p>In addition to my prom dress, I also have a couple of Laura Ashley dresses </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-still-have-any-80s-gear#post-1473681 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 15:54:02 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 1473681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, I'm not a saver.&nbsp; I moved a lot in the 90's so there was no room for sentimental items.&nbsp;&nbsp; I didn't have much money to spend on clothing back then, so it was all pretty disposable. </p> <p>UmmLila - I used to live in Springfield Massachusetts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-still-have-any-80s-gear#post-1473674 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 15:42:01 +0000 MsMary 1473674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL, Janet! You look like you just stepped out of the movie "Working Girl!"</p> <p>I didn't really save anything from the 80s except some baby memorabilia from my son, who was born in 1986. But I was also a member of Team Naturally Big Hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-still-have-any-80s-gear#post-1473624 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 14:10:53 +0000 Janet 1473624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! I have a button collection too, tucked away in the basement with a bunch of other mementos (I love your Frank Zappa one). I kept a handful of old band tees from the era (XTC, REM, the Church, Siouxsie, etc), and of course I have hung onto the bumper stickers, tees and sweatshirts from the radio stations where I worked. Somewhere I have stashed the dress I wore to one of the Clinton inaugural balls (headline band was the B-52's! and a huge men's silk paisley shirt in shades of fuschia and blue, that had a Bergdorf Goodman label in it -- I think I bought it in a vintage store in Adams Morgan and used to wear it with black leggings and cobalt blue pointy-toed flats. No pics, sorry, but here's one for posterity in my big-hair era. LOL Yeah, it's funny, I didn't have to work hard for my hair to do that. My hair was made for the big hair era! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-still-have-any-80s-gear#post-1473610 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 13:52:26 +0000 jackiec 1473610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Nothing here, I was younger in the 80s but I certainly remember all the "cool kids" with those swatches like that! Fun photos!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-still-have-any-80s-gear#post-1473604 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 13:48:42 +0000 Kirstjen 1473604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have only music, and even that is not in the original cassette &amp; CD format. &nbsp;I only have digitally stored music these days. &nbsp;<br />I love your pins. &nbsp;Those bring back lots of memories! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-still-have-any-80s-gear#post-1473597 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 13:41:39 +0000 Beth Ann 1473597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm preparing to move after 18 years and, in 1,000sq ft, sentimentalism is problematic!&nbsp; I did just uncover a bin of early 1990's era clothes, which was fascinating.&nbsp; The tops were all so short!&nbsp; Cropped tops and high waisted bottoms were the norm.</p> <p>Your picture is awesome --- same beautiful hair and smile! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-still-have-any-80s-gear#post-1473586 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 13:26:12 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1473586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's some bling I saved. A YSL super heroine looking necklace. Real but obtained at Marshall's in Springfield, Mass. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-still-have-any-80s-gear#post-1473546 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 11:56:30 +0000 Jaime 1473546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All I have left are a few pictures. All my 80s stuff is newly acquired and not similar to anything I wore then. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-still-have-any-80s-gear#post-1473545 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 11:55:58 +0000 Lucy 1473545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nope! But my hubby does! He has the shirt he wore on our first date in 1988 (we were teenagers!). Lemon and baggy. And he still has the bike he rode to see me. He is a romantic in funny ways.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-still-have-any-80s-gear#post-1473529 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 11:33:10 +0000 Staysfit 1473529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, the question was what I still have from the 80's. The answer..... My High School and University Graduation Diplomas. Ha ha! That's it! </p> <p>Not fashion I know, but apparently I tossed everything from that time of my life, oh, well). Oh, I just remembered that I still have a pair of Speedo Goggles and an awesome swim cap that I wore on my swim team in HS. Maybe that counts? ). I'm not going to take a pic of myself wearing them sorry! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-still-have-any-80s-gear#post-1473509 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 10:44:33 +0000 kkards 1473509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;i have 2 denim jackets, a unisex levi's jacket my mom got me my sophomore year in college, and an oversized denim jacket from around 86-87. &nbsp;also a great silk blazer with unbelievable shoulder pads. and just last year i had a red leather jacket from the late 80s reworked, should pads removed and body tapered slightly. &nbsp;and of course. my coach bag, because&nbsp;was one of the most expensive things i bought when i first starting working.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-still-have-any-80s-gear#post-1473407 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 02:13:09 +0000 Carla 1473407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A black leather belt and a small black evening bag. That's it! I do remember my first work suit - a red, white, and blue plaid skirt and navy jacket bought during a trip to New York. I wore the skirt to threads, and the jacket into the mid '90's when the lining became totally frayed and the fabric shiny from wear!</p> <p>DH just jettisoned his late '80's tweed jacket. He had worn it as recently as 2010 during a month long trip to Ireland and UK. We didn't realize how ridiculous the shoulder pads were until we did a big clean out of his closet and try on of clothes this fall.</p> <p>Come to think of it, none of the clothes I currently own have shoulder pads. Not even the winter coats! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-still-have-any-80s-gear#post-1473389 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 01:43:13 +0000 catgirl 1473389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have lots of tees - Grateful Dead (when I met Jerry Garcia!), Sandman tees from the Neil Gaiman graphic novel&nbsp;series - I collected those from the beginning, and sentimental concert tees.&nbsp; I also have my high school field hockey uniform!&nbsp; I saved&nbsp;lots of&nbsp;earrings from days when my friend Sarah and I would scour vintage and thrift stores.&nbsp; We were really into 20s style jewelry,&nbsp;like&nbsp;brooches&nbsp;and rhinestone&nbsp;chokers,&nbsp;because we were big fans of Brideshead Revisited.&nbsp; &nbsp;I'm wishing I held on to more of my clothes&nbsp;now, of course, but nothing was of real designer value.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-still-have-any-80s-gear#post-1473375 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 01:26:06 +0000 Joyce B 1473375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup. I saved some jeans similar to yours. You look fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-still-have-any-80s-gear#post-1473349 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 00:21:21 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1473349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fashion era challenge has been so fun to watch and has put me back in touch with my youth (ah, youth). Turns out I still have some bits and bobs from back in the day. What about you? Anything you've hung onto from that crazy time? Bonus for those who post a pic of themselves in the period wear! I'm below in the blue and pink, with white wrestling booties and matching Vuarnet sunnies, TWO Swatches and ankle zip pants. Still have the Swatches, though the pink one has long since lost it's scent (whose idea was that anyway?). </p>
