It’s one of my my very dearest friends to this day (we’ve been buds since we were in 8th grade and biology lab partners). In the full photo it looks like he’d had a few drinks. I’m not sure what point he was trying to make, but it must have been amusing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vintage-me#post-2160997 Sat, 19 Dec 2020 01:09:13 +0000 MsMaven 2160997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for sharing. I love old photos. It's fun to see the fashion changes over time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vintage-me#post-2160987 Fri, 18 Dec 2020 22:55:05 +0000 LaPed 2160987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, I *love* #9! It looks pretty darn contemporary to me; I would happily wear that look in the summer.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love the cute short-sleeve shirts in #3 and #8 too. My mom had many tops like #8 when I was a kid; she diligently cut all the shoulder pads out and used them as household scrubbers. ;)&nbsp;</p> <p>The red dresses in 2 and 4 are so much truer to you -- and more suited your coloring -- than a pastel would've been. Good choice!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vintage-me#post-2160952 Fri, 18 Dec 2020 19:43:22 +0000 Anonymous 2160952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun- and ditto Xtabay re: Princess Di! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vintage-me#post-2160932 Fri, 18 Dec 2020 18:17:01 +0000 Anonymous 2160932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So fun! &nbsp;You're giving me Princess Di in #7. &nbsp;I like the mysterious hand, too! &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vintage-me#post-2160928 Fri, 18 Dec 2020 17:48:14 +0000 Barbara Diane 2160928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you look great in all of them.<br /> I miss my mullet. I loved having long hair in the back but not worrying about it getting in my eyes, especially when swimming. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vintage-me#post-2160923 Fri, 18 Dec 2020 17:20:43 +0000 nemosmom 2160923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun look back, Janet! You have always looked great.

You look great, and I personally love the short hair on you (you have the face shape for it) - but I equally dig your long locks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vintage-me#post-2160901 Fri, 18 Dec 2020 15:59:17 +0000 Cee 2160901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous !! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vintage-me#post-2160897 Fri, 18 Dec 2020 15:45:21 +0000 slim cat 2160897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful pictures! Something in pic #11 reminded me how photos in fashion magazines used to be - and you look great with a short hair too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vintage-me#post-2160854 Fri, 18 Dec 2020 09:48:37 +0000 lyn67 2160854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great roots and evolution along the times, here- not less that I would have expected from you, Janet! I especially&nbsp; admire your full length evening gowns wore that young (I never had one-except one tafeta skirt in my 30's) &amp; a fair answer to nr 9:-"because puffy doesn't matter when you have a tinny waist, it's even&nbsp; trendy back then and the perfect travel/beach/resort shorts- long enough but airy":)) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vintage-me#post-2160853 Fri, 18 Dec 2020 08:06:34 +0000 rachylou 2160853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice. Perfect vintage. Also: I must say you look like you in every era(!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vintage-me#post-2160839 Fri, 18 Dec 2020 04:14:31 +0000 Jaime 2160839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So fun! I would know we were about the same age just from haircut recognition! Agree #5 is ultimate Janet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vintage-me#post-2160819 Fri, 18 Dec 2020 01:22:15 +0000 Irina 2160819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pictures, Janet. You look absolutely beautiful in all of them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vintage-me#post-2160818 Fri, 18 Dec 2020 00:40:29 +0000 Jenn 2160818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So funny, because I had the same reaction as Angie. Turtleneck aside, &nbsp;#5 looks the closest to the current you. All the elements are there...hair, hat, denim, jacket...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vintage-me#post-2160815 Fri, 18 Dec 2020 00:23:17 +0000 citygirldc 2160815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awww, now I'm feeling so nostalgic.

I see a little Ally Sheedy in a few of these! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vintage-me#post-2160800 Thu, 17 Dec 2020 23:51:39 +0000 Janet 2160800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, thanks, all! I had fun looking at the pics. I was putting some photos back into albums (I had taken some out over the years for friends' and family's memorial services) and had a good walk down memory lane.&nbsp;</p> <p>Angie, so funny you think #5 is so me! It's the furthest one from what I would wear now -- the colors are not in my palette anymore and you know my recent history with turtlenecks, LOL. But it wasn't a bad look considering it was the 80s. ;-)&nbsp;</p> <p>Cardiff girl, doesn't my sister look beautiful? I found a full envelope of those pics from her second wedding. I know she doesn't want them, but I'm giving them to my niece so she can see there was a time when her mother and father loved each other, LOL. And I love seeing my dad in those pics too (mom was agoraphobic and did not travel several states away for the wedding, sadly).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vintage-me#post-2160799 Thu, 17 Dec 2020 23:44:50 +0000 Cardiff girl 2160799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are definitely an all American beauty,your sister is rather lovely looking too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vintage-me#post-2160768 Thu, 17 Dec 2020 21:33:47 +0000 Helena 2160768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So beautiful Janet!! I agree with Angie ... And hints of your signature style were present all through which of course makes total sense. Your eyes are just so incredible too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vintage-me#post-2160762 Thu, 17 Dec 2020 21:04:29 +0000 Jenava 2160762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So fun!&nbsp; Oh, broomstick skirts.&nbsp; I had many! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vintage-me#post-2160737 Thu, 17 Dec 2020 18:26:06 +0000 Angie 2160737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>VERY fun to see these pics! You look beautiful in every one of them. Such luxe thick curls and pretty eyes!&nbsp;</p> <p>#5 is so JANET </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vintage-me#post-2160728 Thu, 17 Dec 2020 17:31:20 +0000 MsMary 2160728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So great! I LOVE the short hair! No. 11 is my super fave!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vintage-me#post-2160726 Thu, 17 Dec 2020 17:29:22 +0000 kkards 2160726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gunne Sax!&nbsp;<br />I think i wore all the same casual outfits...and probably had the same hair cuts as well! LOL<br />and wow you and your sister look a lot alike, when i 1st looked at #2 i thought you were the bride.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vintage-me#post-2160717 Thu, 17 Dec 2020 16:53:36 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2160717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun share! 7 is just so classic 80s. And that red prom dress was right for you—cool that you knew to go your own way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vintage-me#post-2160691 Thu, 17 Dec 2020 15:57:30 +0000 Janet 2160691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I spent some time yesterday cleaning out some of our bookshelves, and ended up finding a treasure trove of old photos. Just thought these were a fun look back at my style, since we were recently talking about our style roots. </p> <p>1. I think I was 14 here, already a fan of blue and V neck sweaters!<br /> 2. At my sister’s wedding, age 15<br /> 3. Tropical print at age 16<br /> 4. Prom at age 17. One of the first in my school to adopt what came to be known as a mullet. Also, red prom dresses were almost unheard of. It was the era of pastels and Gunne Sax dresses.<br /> 5. Always loved a hat. Age 19<br /> 6. At work. About 19 or 20<br /> 7-8. I liked a popped collar. Age 21 and maybe 23. Oof, those shoulder pads!<br /> 9. Poofy shorts in Mexico. Whyyyy?<br /> 10-11. The short hair years. Age 25-26. And paisley at a friend’s wedding. Never really loved my hair like this but I chopped it after a big breakup and it felt freeing at the time.<br /> 12-14. In my late 20s. Oversized denim jacket at a baseball game. Cropped black top and broomstick skirt. And a long black blazer I wore to death. </p>
