I still have my jean jacket I got in middle school circa 1987, and it still fits, even though I'm nearly 50 pounds heavier. It took me until the late 90s to actually wear clothes that fit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-i-want-the-80s-back#post-1971589 Sat, 03 Nov 2018 14:59:57 +0000 Angie 1971589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE these pics.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-i-want-the-80s-back#post-1971562 Sat, 03 Nov 2018 11:45:01 +0000 cindysmith 1971562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my gawd, I have deliberately not thought about how BIG the shoulder pads were back then </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-i-want-the-80s-back#post-1971552 Sat, 03 Nov 2018 10:26:08 +0000 Style Fan 1971552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look fantastic!&nbsp; I especially love #3.&nbsp; Gorgeous outfit. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-i-want-the-80s-back#post-1971530 Sat, 03 Nov 2018 07:57:03 +0000 Cee 1971530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The '80s had their " YEEEESHHHH !!

As I’ve culled similar pieces, I wonder why I ever wore clothes I would now deam ill-fitting. Thanks for bringing back the memories! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-i-want-the-80s-back#post-1971409 Fri, 02 Nov 2018 21:14:20 +0000 rachylou 1971409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol. The jackets were really big, not just the shoulders. It’s funny watching the old sitcoms, to see it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-i-want-the-80s-back#post-1971401 Fri, 02 Nov 2018 20:38:09 +0000 RobinF 1971401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, great pics! I remember those huge jackets. My kids like to watch old Seinfeld episodes and I'm always amazed at Elaine's huge jackets. I'm not sure I am ready for that either :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-i-want-the-80s-back#post-1971400 Fri, 02 Nov 2018 19:59:55 +0000 MsMaven 1971400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just an example: both these jackets fit me then--think size 8. Dark: AKII, light: DKNY. Lovely shoulder pads not congenial with should bag. Didn't realize how much the shoulder straps pulled the jacket awry until going through old photos. Think this was about 1988.&nbsp;</p> <p>Don't think I want 1971 back either, although it would be nice to have thicker hair again.</p> <p>I think in #1,2 I had a "body perm."</p> <p>Have a great weekend! </p>
