Nicely done, Amy.&nbsp;</p> <p>*passing the shoulder pads*</p> <p>And I adore #3 on you. What a super 2015 look. Wear it and enjoy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/era-challenge-80s#post-1472279 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 15:58:53 +0000 amiable 1472279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks rabbit - and I agree - I like bootcuts, but especially with tops tucked in, it felt old quickly &nbsp;(I almost always prefer a longer top), and like a whole lotta pants. &nbsp;I'm looking forward to my narrower pants getting wear after a week of bootcuts and flares </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/era-challenge-80s#post-1472277 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 15:52:29 +0000 rabbit 1472277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh they all look great on you! &nbsp;I think they are all wearable today. &nbsp;I associate color-blocking and neons/pastels&nbsp;with the eighties too. &nbsp; These also seem like a silhouette that works with your shape very well too. &nbsp;I think it's because there is structure in the narrow leggings and pants --- and the ankles and pushed up sleeves show skin. &nbsp; Seems less RATE and swallowing you up than some of&nbsp;the 70's looks -- which were fun, but a lot of pants leg ;)&nbsp;. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/era-challenge-80s#post-1472242 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 15:08:49 +0000 amiable 1472242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Taking a break from the 70s today!</p> <p>I associate the 80s with black and white, leggings,&nbsp;colorblocking, and neon colors. &nbsp;I also fondly remember velour fabrics - still a favorite of mine. &nbsp;&nbsp;I'm not sure if colorblocking is actually an 80s thing, but my velour shirt is black and white color blocked, and I'm pretty sure is an actual 80s top.</p> <p>So here's my tribute - with 90s bedhead hair rather than the big hair of the era, and no makeup too. &nbsp;I'm actually wearing #3 today, because, well, I like it :)</p> <p>#1 - leggings (skirted) with velour color-blocked top.<br />#2 - same skirted leggings with my closest to neon yellow. &nbsp;High contrast tank top for effect.<br />#3 - velour color-blocked top with as close as I have to neon pink cropped pants.</p> <p>I feel like all of these are border-line wearable today - are they? &nbsp;And are they true to the 80s also? </p>
