So many great details in each of the pieces. I think this is the outfit I like most that you've showcased so far this month. Days 7 and 8 are also fabulous. </p> <p>I'm going to keep an eye out for double yoke bottoms. I think that might help my IT hips. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jan-challenge-day-21-80s-vibes#post-2379162 Sun, 26 Jan 2025 03:51:27 +0000 Sloper 2379162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh, I remember how we all ran to the Gap back in ye olden days!!<div>And Giraud jeans, I believe, had the double yoke.<br />Nice outfit!!</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jan-challenge-day-21-80s-vibes#post-2379157 Sun, 26 Jan 2025 01:53:13 +0000 Jaime 2379157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab outfit! Great pieces but the whole is even greater than the parts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jan-challenge-day-21-80s-vibes#post-2379153 Sun, 26 Jan 2025 01:12:02 +0000 Lisa 2379153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a lovely 80s inspired outfit! And I like the extra detail on the sweater with the colorblock neckline and hemline, a nice touch! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jan-challenge-day-21-80s-vibes#post-2379135 Sat, 25 Jan 2025 18:58:16 +0000 Jenni NZ 2379135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s great, thanks for explaining. I love that some of the items are older than the people you work with! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jan-challenge-day-21-80s-vibes#post-2379107 Fri, 24 Jan 2025 22:42:58 +0000 kkards 2379107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenni NZ, the challenge was to not repeat an outfit from head to toe, thus “forcing” me to be more thoughtful and intentional about how and what I wore. &nbsp;(This jeans and boots for example are both also worn together in day 7). I will admit that I own a lot of sweaters, and layering pieces. &nbsp;I’ve been the generally the same top size since forever and have sweaters/toppers/coats that are older than some of the people I work with. The Jcrew sweater I wore day 3 is from 2010, so not at vintage yet, but getting there&nbsp;<div>I’ve got some learnings, but honestly this wasn’t so much about what I’d learn, and more about getting my fashion mojo back. &nbsp;<br />I’m not ready to talk yet about the boomer comment as I want to finish the challenge and reflect on what I did wear, what I didn’t wear, what I might have worn and what’s next.&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jan-challenge-day-21-80s-vibes#post-2379100 Fri, 24 Jan 2025 21:59:52 +0000 Jenni NZ 2379100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good, I like all these items individually and they go well together. I like the boots especially.<br /> Do I need to wait until the end of the month to ask what you are learning? I don’t think I have enough clothes (despite having what feels quite a large wardrobe of around 150 pieces) to do a no-repeat in any one month. I forget if it was the mixing that was no-repeat or if each individual item (like boots) was no-repeat. I have 34 different pairs of footwear for instance but as we are in mid-summer I have to repeat some of my sandals this month as I don’t have enough to do 31 different pairs.<br /> I choose some clothes that remind me of previously loved items as well, like you have done here.<br /> Also, how does one look “less Boomer”? I don’t want to look a different generation or even think I can?<br /> If you would rather wait until the end of the challenge to answer my philosophical questions, or not answer them at all, no problem! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jan-challenge-day-21-80s-vibes#post-2379098 Fri, 24 Jan 2025 21:56:18 +0000 Carla 2379098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! &nbsp;I had a pair of burgundy yoked corduroys in the ‘80’s - and I loved them too! &nbsp;Another great outfit. &nbsp;You’re nailing your challenge. &nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>TGIF!</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jan-challenge-day-21-80s-vibes#post-2379097 Fri, 24 Jan 2025 19:55:19 +0000 Suz 2379097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh, what a fab sweater!

The colors, the silhouette, the details that you point out on that fab sweater, how you've semi-tucked it, the wide black belt, the double-yoke jeans and their straight, slightly tapered shape, the pointy, shiny booties. Dynamite! </p> <p>Fun memory of that sweater, and it's cool that you found it online to show us!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jan-challenge-day-21-80s-vibes#post-2379064 Fri, 24 Jan 2025 13:53:48 +0000 Dee 2379064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, that top has an 80s Gap vibe, like the bold colours, looks great with those jeans and shiny pointed toe boots </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jan-challenge-day-21-80s-vibes#post-2379062 Fri, 24 Jan 2025 13:00:29 +0000 cat2 2379062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great jeans!

In fact that’s what 1st got my attention, but I bought it because l love the v neck that’s &nbsp;just a little v, and the bold colors that are not that bold, and the little bit of white that provides a small contrast. &nbsp;In other words, I love the fact that they paid attention to the details. Worn with double yoke jeans - back in the late 80s or earlier 90s I had a pair of red cords from Benetton with a double yoke, loved those cords, saw theses jeans and it was another love at 1st sight. &nbsp;And these pointed toe boots, which aren’t like anything from my past, but are so much a part of my present&nbsp;</p> <p>thanks for looking. As always all comments and suggestions are welcome and appreciated&nbsp;</p> <p>bonus -found a picture of the gap sweater on eBay,&nbsp; </p>
