You guys look too cool for words.

It too is so perfect ... the hair is just spot on. Takes me right back. Is it a perm? Did we <b>all</b> perm back then? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-80s-photo#post-1328499 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 21:14:22 +0000 ATLynn 1328499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing photo. &nbsp;In thumbnail form, I thought it was a celebrity pic. &nbsp; Love seeing everyone else's 80s style too. &nbsp;I"ll have to see if my parents can dig something up for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-80s-photo#post-1328447 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 20:12:25 +0000 Nicole D 1328447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love those photos. &nbsp;Viva, you look like a member of the Breakfast Club! &nbsp;I was really into the oversized coat thing - my poor dad. &nbsp;I pilfered his closet mercilessly. &nbsp;There was this nice Harris tweed one that I wore to death! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-80s-photo#post-1328389 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 19:00:42 +0000 Anonymous 1328389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fab photo&nbsp;and great comments and pics. I had to &nbsp;laugh about the oversize men's coats. I don't have a pic, but I was a young woman in the 80's<br />&nbsp;and my boyfriend, now DH, had &nbsp;his father's tweed overcoat from the 50's. I took it&nbsp;over and was soon sporting it all over the place. I'm sure my future father in law was wondering why is my son's girlfriend wearing my old coat? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-80s-photo#post-1328345 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 17:59:54 +0000 Laura 1328345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You nailed the 80s perfectly in a single photo! </p> <p>Here's mine ... Christmas 1989. Totally rocking the asymmetrical giant hair, Duran Duran cheekbones, linebacker-esque shoulder pads, shiny peplum dress and jewel tones. My dear brother must have been nearly blinded by my 80s fabness.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-80s-photo#post-1328340 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 17:55:10 +0000 Vivian 1328340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab, in all my 80's pics I am pregnant and certainly not styling! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-80s-photo#post-1328294 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 17:10:48 +0000 Meredith 1328294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-80s-photo#post-1328290 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 17:07:47 +0000 Neel 1328290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Omg!

Stunning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-80s-photo#post-1328220 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 15:04:20 +0000 Staysfit 1328220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your photo. &nbsp;Yesterday&nbsp; I came across a pair of shoes that I swear are identical to the ballerina flats I wore when I backpacked across Europe in the mid 80's! &nbsp;They were ripped to shreds by the time I returned home. &nbsp;</p> <p>I still have the Eddie Bauer jean jacket that I also wore during that trip. &nbsp;It wasn't particularly stylish then, but it was so practical, and I loved it then. &nbsp;&nbsp;I still love it now and probably always will. &nbsp;It is the oldest article of clothing in my closet. &nbsp;It's more than half my age now. &nbsp;Oh, that's scary! &nbsp;I think I need to go soak my feet or whatever people do when they are feeling old???</p> <p>I have no pictures from the trip. They were stored in a dark dreary humid dungeon, aka. my mother's basement.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-80s-photo#post-1328189 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 14:44:18 +0000 Angie 1328189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer to the power of Killer xo</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-80s-photo#post-1328179 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 14:34:47 +0000 viva 1328179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry you don't have any pics Thistle, but I am glad you are enjoying these. Sara, I'm not sure you meant your comment as comedy but it made me smile. Thanks for reminding me that lots of fabbers were kids -- or maybe just a twinkle in the eye -- back then. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-80s-photo#post-1328168 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 14:28:25 +0000 Thistle 1328168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So fun!</p> <p>We don't have any pictures from the 80s anymore. My dad got them all in the divorce, and his new wife threw them away. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-80s-photo#post-1328165 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 14:25:40 +0000 Sara L. 1328165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are so fun! &nbsp;I don't think I have any pictures of myself from the 80's. &nbsp;My mom would have those since I was just a kid then. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-80s-photo#post-1328161 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 14:21:40 +0000 viva 1328161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am loving these pics! Hope to see more. The hairstyles are the best. It's amazing how just the slightest tweak to a short haircut can modernize it...or not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-80s-photo#post-1328130 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 13:42:13 +0000 cheryl 1328130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome pic.

Reeboks. Permed hair. Coach bag (always had a little prep in there somewhere). Yeah, that was pretty much me in the late 80s. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-80s-photo#post-1328088 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 12:32:37 +0000 Suz 1328088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay. I can't find the original scan, but here is a thread that includes the photo. First pic is my 80s self.&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-houndstooth-then-and-now">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....en-and-now</a> </p> <p></p> <p>I am still wearing denim (though not so much acid or stone washed....), jackets (and I love houndstooth!), black turtlenecks (yay!), short hair, Docs. And still petting strange cats.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-80s-photo#post-1328084 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 12:28:43 +0000 Jaime 1328084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great picture - definitely the appealing side of 80s fashion! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-80s-photo#post-1328083 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 12:27:15 +0000 Suz 1328083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a fun photo! I have one, but I'm hunting for it. Give me a bit of time.&nbsp;</p> <p>I had so many of those oversized thrifted men's coats. And pointy toed shoes that I also thrifted.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-80s-photo#post-1328053 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 11:20:51 +0000 Anonymous 1328053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is such a cool photo. It looks like it should be on the cover of a vinyl LP! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-80s-photo#post-1328051 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 11:18:51 +0000 viva 1328051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is from my semester in London, fall 1983. I ended it traveling with two friends, and here we are in all our 80s glory in Florence, Italy. I love this picture more than I can say. The coat is from a goodwill-type store in London, and I wish you could see my cheap pointy black boots. </p> <p>Do you have an 80s photo to share? </p>
