Jules and Gretchen - Venus is my favourite Bananarama song! Angie and Style Fan - I had no idea that Robert's gone, that is sad news. I hope the back up girls fared better. Jane - I don't know what it is about trousers, but for me they are one of the hardest items to find a good fit in. I much prefer dresses and skirts.

Quite a lot of volume, so I think best paired with skinny jeans for that look.

But not sure if I like it with the collar out.  Bijou on "Wildcard - back to the 80's" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wildcard---back-to-the-80s#post-2015727 Wed, 27 Mar 2019 09:53:28 +0000 Bijou 2015727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Smittie - so glad you like it belted, that is my favorite too. Kirstjen - such a great tip about the sleeves, that was very 80's. Lucky for you, that you can't hear me sing! Fashintern - if only it were the 80's, I would have been confident enough to wear the jacket "minimal style" or at least over a leather mini skirt - now I much prefer wearing the pants. Barbara Diane - another belted vote! Good tip about the top to wear with pants. SaraL - glad you like it belted too, which is not a style that I am too familiar with, but it is fun to try for something different. Suntiger - I like the versatility of the jacket, which can be a coat... a nice change from my more usual cropped jackets. Dana & KKards - you make me laugh, Bananarama songs were very catchy! The Cat - Glad that this looks 80's, but in a good way. TG and Nemosmom - more love for the jacket belted. I am relieved, as I think this will be how I mainly wear it. Sal - pumps were very 80's, so a good tip to keep the footwear on point. No crop tops for me unless I start doing a lot of sit ups. Jussi - I do love the subtle stars. I know they are there! Angie - YAY!!! So glad you approve, as the ultimate expert on 1980's style! Shevia - David Byrne was very cool, but I don't think I can do a yellow suit myself. Brooklyn - thank you for those great suggestions. I even have a star brooch and love chokers. Brooklyn on "Wildcard - back to the 80's" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wildcard---back-to-the-80s#post-2015664 Wed, 27 Mar 2019 01:58:47 +0000 Brooklyn 2015664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love it with the belt. How about belt plus brooches (more than one). Or belt plus choker necklace and v neck top? I agree it will work with your sheath dresses too. Jaime on "Wildcard - back to the 80's" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wildcard---back-to-the-80s#post-2015658 Wed, 27 Mar 2019 01:50:27 +0000 Jaime 2015658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Bananarama. Wow. Weird memory flood! Anyway, love it. A touch of David Byrne too!

(And you are way more stylish than Bananarama).  jussie on "Wildcard - back to the 80's" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wildcard---back-to-the-80s#post-2015594 Tue, 26 Mar 2019 20:10:25 +0000 jussie 2015594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Awesome! Those stars are really something! Sal on "Wildcard - back to the 80's" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wildcard---back-to-the-80s#post-2015592 Tue, 26 Mar 2019 20:05:54 +0000 Sal 2015592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Fun - I loved Bananarama!! It looks great on you. I love the heels and think footwear with a heel or in a colour will be fab. Brogues might work - even sneakers? But I think classic pumps are probably the top pick. Underneath I would tend to simple tops, light or in a colour. Or go totally 80s and wear a crop top and a headband:) nemosmom on "Wildcard - back to the 80's" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wildcard---back-to-the-80s#post-2015590 Tue, 26 Mar 2019 19:53:47 +0000 nemosmom 2015590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Super cute wildcard! I like it best belted. I can't wait to see other outfits you make with it!

You look chic and adorable in the belted version. Fun and charming styling with the red shoes. kkards on "Wildcard - back to the 80's" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wildcard---back-to-the-80s#post-2015537 Tue, 26 Mar 2019 16:57:01 +0000 kkards 2015537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ oh my goodness, i had completely forgotten about this group...and now i can't get Cruel Summer out of my head... love the subtle stars and the subtle oversized fit!

Dana on "Wildcard - back to the 80's" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wildcard---back-to-the-80s#post-2015525 Tue, 26 Mar 2019 16:30:37 +0000 Dana 2015525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look great! I'm kind of getting a Bonnie (& Clyde) vibe from the jacket belted--still fab! Yes, you're in the band...Goddess on a Mountain Top! And your boots are TDF!!  Sara L. on "Wildcard - back to the 80's" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wildcard---back-to-the-80s#post-2015517 Tue, 26 Mar 2019 16:16:22 +0000 Sara L. 2015517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think it looks great on you.  I especially like it with the belt (which never would have occurred to me).  I agree that the jacket might be fun over dresses. Barbara Diane on "Wildcard - back to the 80's" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wildcard---back-to-the-80s#post-2015506 Tue, 26 Mar 2019 15:33:29 +0000 Barbara Diane 2015506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ How fun. Love the belted version best, and long jackets are in and versatile. I’m a big fan of tone on tone and how perfect the stars are for you. I definitely like the pops of color with it. Would perhaps like to see the top untucked. Fun and useful wildcard.

I don’t think it needs much more than a brightly colored blouse peeking out at the collar and under rolled up sleeves. And those red shoes! Do you plan to try it with something minimal on the bottom, like the model? You could pull it off, I bet. Kirstjen on "Wildcard - back to the 80's" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wildcard---back-to-the-80s#post-2015494 Tue, 26 Mar 2019 15:00:58 +0000 Kirstjen 2015494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Push those sleeves up & sing!   I think it looks terrific.  Very polished.  I'm an 80's girl, too...   smittie on "Wildcard - back to the 80's" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wildcard---back-to-the-80s#post-2015492 Tue, 26 Mar 2019 14:57:53 +0000 smittie 2015492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love this Bijou.
