I have a thrifted beaded one I bought a number of years ago. I don't wear it because it sheds beads. Maybe I should search more closely for the source of the leak and then start wearing it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-miss-from-1996#post-2094031 Mon, 20 Jan 2020 20:27:54 +0000 Kari 2094031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope fitted waistcoats come back and filter into my size. I’ve been on the hunt for them for about 5 years and found exactly one (and their largest size is a little small unless I’m on the smallest end for my fluctuating body.) I would cheer to see this come back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-miss-from-1996#post-2094018 Mon, 20 Jan 2020 19:47:34 +0000 Sal 2094018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had at least two waistcoat suits (with long midi skirts) in the 1990s.&nbsp; &nbsp;I might go there again......</p> <p>I love the 1960s wallpaper flowers trend featured and would also love to have more polka dots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-miss-from-1996#post-2094015 Mon, 20 Jan 2020 19:13:55 +0000 slim cat 2094015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Jenni NZ - your vest looks fun.

I was going to consign it this winter...maybe I should reconsider? It’s the patchwork 70s-looking one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-miss-from-1996#post-2093979 Mon, 20 Jan 2020 16:44:59 +0000 Bonnie 2093979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't know that vests were coming back either.

Too fussy perhaps? Hard to fit with a large chest? </p> <p>Gah, the trends in those links make me glad I’m DYOT these days. The only “trend” in there I can relate to much is colored leather. And maybe Bermuda shorts if they’re not pleated and business-y. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-miss-from-1996#post-2093933 Mon, 20 Jan 2020 13:09:18 +0000 Anonymous 2093933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla beat me to it!

I've used to do short/fitted vest ( stripy ) with black pants or black slim jeans in 2000s.<br />You would look smashing in that outfit from Pinterest! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-miss-from-1996#post-2093798 Sun, 19 Jan 2020 20:36:33 +0000 rachylou 2093798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Speaking of nostalgia... saw this on Pinterest. Ok, so I sorta feel nothing happened in the 90s, but I do really miss the waistcoat and matching pants thing. I guess in the 70s, this sort of coordinates outfit would have had wide lapels, which is not the same thing at all to me. Why did this go away? Lol </p>
