LOVE those photos from the 80s. Gorgeous. But the outfit is absolutely killer great and very 2105. I get it, though, for some people this would not feel "costumey" but with your more minimal classic tastes it would feel like too much. Just take off one of the accessories and it is completely wearable! :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-2-the-80s#post-1469862 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 10:35:24 +0000 Deb 1469862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are as gorgeous today as you were as a young lady in the 80's....I love all the pics.....and these are super modern versions Ingunn. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-2-the-80s#post-1469828 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 07:11:23 +0000 Sharon 1469828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So much fun! Love seeing the old photos.&nbsp;The modern rendition looks great and works just fine as a current outfit, IMO. I'd love to see it with big hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-2-the-80s#post-1469825 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 06:43:57 +0000 CocoLion 1469825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a treat to see you from the 80s, what a gorgeous family. &nbsp;I have mixed feelings about 80s style. &nbsp;Some of it I loved, some of it I hated. &nbsp;Isn't that the way it goes. &nbsp;I love your 80s inspired outfit today much more than I loved jumpsuits back then. &nbsp;You look sleek and sophisticated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-2-the-80s#post-1469824 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 06:26:03 +0000 tulle 1469824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ingunn, you were sensational in the 80s--the hair actually looked good on you!&nbsp; I like your very smart modern takes on 80s fashion a lot, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-2-the-80s#post-1469804 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 04:48:44 +0000 Ingunn 1469804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember that my perfume of choice at the time was Rive Gauche by YSL, UmmLila.</p> <p>Rabbit and Kiwigal, that's a good idea. I will let my hair down and change the bag at a minimum, but I like the jumpsuit with the denim jacket.</p> <p>Una and Thistle, thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-2-the-80s#post-1469575 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 22:28:09 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1469575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really wish I still had my old Norma Kamali flippy sweatshirt fabric mini. It was the best piece of clothing I had during that big-haired decade.</p> <p>Did anyone else like Christian Dior Poison perfume like I did? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-2-the-80s#post-1469563 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 22:15:05 +0000 rabbit 1469563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the old pictures! &nbsp;Really like your current interpretation too. &nbsp;Actually without the belt and pearls I think it's a really chic current look to wear out. &nbsp; (or with the belt but with a different bag -- just to keep it minimalist). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-2-the-80s#post-1469552 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 22:03:25 +0000 catgirl 1469552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How much fun is this?!&nbsp; I need to go back and find some high school pics to inspire me.&nbsp; I even have my field hockey sweatshirt from 1984... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-2-the-80s#post-1469530 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 21:44:37 +0000 Sal 1469530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the old pics! &nbsp;Especially the ball/prom one and the colourful suits. &nbsp;Very stylish.<br />And your reinterpretation is perfect- the pearls, the clutch and the Rayban to make it a little less themed you could&nbsp;take the pearls off, take a different bag and wear your hair down and then go out and party!!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-2-the-80s#post-1469504 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 21:23:59 +0000 Thistle 1469504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally awesome!!!&nbsp; :)</p> <p>Seriously, though, wow, what a flashback! The hair especially. And you got the look right in your current pictures. 80s but not OTT or costume-y.&nbsp; You could totally wear this out!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-2-the-80s#post-1469501 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 21:14:42 +0000 Ingunn 1469501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's funny, Rachy, I knew a few of those, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-2-the-80s#post-1469380 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 19:24:12 +0000 rachylou 1469380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So great! </p> <p>And your authentic '80s.

I do prefer #4/5 I hope you'll actually wear this outfit because i find it kind of sophisticated and fun at the same time. Yay for the necklace - reminds me of Madonna. </p> <p>Your hair is super cute. Seems like you and your family was very on-trend back then. Thanks for sharing the family photos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-2-the-80s#post-1469141 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 14:58:18 +0000 Ingunn 1469141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And now for the more daring exercise: the 80's! This felt much more challenging because it is MY era. I was an 80's girl through and through, and to express my true feelings and images of the decade isn't easy.</p> <p>I remember: Denim, pegged jeans (customized Levi's 501), Docksides, pointy toe kitten heel pumps, white shirts, mohair sweaters, bomber jackets, big hair, bright pastels and accentuated waists. </p> <p>#1: my mother and me in 1986: I did sew the outfit myself. Cobalt blue belt, leather tie and peep toe pumps finished the outfit. Hah ha!<br /> #2: me in 1983 and then in 1988: The hair!<br /> #3: My brothers and me in 1989. Pastel yellow florals for the win. </p> <p>#4-5: my 80's inspired outfit:</p> <p>Jumpsuit with pegged legs, belted at the waist. I swear, we wore those in the mid 80's. Pearl necklace, high hair (sort of), kitten heel pumps, fuchsia bag and denim jacket.</p> <p>What do you think? Did I get it right? Will I wear this in public? Probably not :)</p> <p>This has been a lot of fun! Thank you, Angie! </p>
