And the 80s photo is precious! You are all adorable in those denim outfits! You were beautiful then and still are now.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-38-matchy-matchy-denim-on-denim#post-2407933 Mon, 09 Mar 2026 20:22:49 +0000 Jenni NZ 2407933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the 80s pic. It is kind of amazing that your hair got permed from age 5. Was your Mum quite into fashion and beauty? I also like your high school “glamour shots”. I treasure the photos of my girls at their school balls, I don’t think my older daughter looked that glamorous again until her wedding photos- 16 and 17 at balls and then 28 at her wedding. My younger daughter likes to dress up in costume and at music festivals so she probably looks fancy more often.<br /> I like the dragonfly tee and necklace. I own a dragonfly brooch, not sure where from, must have been Mum’s I suppose but she died in 1999 so a long time ago and I can’t remember her with it. She did like brooches though and had several. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-38-matchy-matchy-denim-on-denim#post-2407930 Mon, 09 Mar 2026 20:00:01 +0000 slim cat 2407930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pic I still have is my late kitty - she left us 3 years ago after 13 years of being our first furry family member. We adopted our new addition to the family almost 2 years ago ( shelter at Mountain View, before- shelter at Seattle) - her name is Tigra and she rules our household- lol ( with a lot of baby/kitty talk - in a small adorable voice ). Favorite place - at my daughter lap .</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-38-matchy-matchy-denim-on-denim#post-2407925 Mon, 09 Mar 2026 19:05:14 +0000 MsMary 2407925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of these, especially the one with the side-stripe jeans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-38-matchy-matchy-denim-on-denim#post-2407924 Mon, 09 Mar 2026 18:56:05 +0000 Kate 2407924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Natalie, you and your sisters looked adorable!</p> <p>Do I ever remember perms. Yuck. My mother permed both my and my sister's hair several times when we were kids. That rotten egg smell, the chemicals, yeah, it's all coming back to me. As is the memory of having to show up at school with what amounted to a gigantic blonde afro. Big enough to block the vision of the kid behind me. Or host a flock of baby birds and maybe a squirrel or two. I had a lot of hair. My mother had to raid a second kit to get enough curlers and developer. Those old Toni perms had legs. They lasted a longggg time. Unfortunately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-38-matchy-matchy-denim-on-denim#post-2407901 Mon, 09 Mar 2026 14:05:54 +0000 Cookie 2407901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the skirt with the sneakers but that 80s picture absolutely makes my day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-38-matchy-matchy-denim-on-denim#post-2407897 Mon, 09 Mar 2026 13:51:51 +0000 Angie 2407897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>THE '80 denim-on-denim with BIG hair pic is KILLER to the POWER of KILLER.

A Sound of Music dress with dress coat sounds fab! I do not miss perms--I can't believe my mom made me get those from age 5 to high school! The chemical smell, the stinging scalp, the tight curls, not being able to wash my hair for several days after. The first time I got a perm I cried because it was so short and frizzy, I looked like an Asian orphan Annie. Then in high school I started crimping my hair (everyone was doing it!) and curling big Hawaii 5-0 wave bangs. Senior glamour shots for proof of the big hair craziness! I also do not miss the football player size shoulder pads in everything, LOL!<br />Lise--I'm glad we can wear sneakers with everything, even skirts and dresses. A throwback to the 80's power skirt suit with white Reebok sneakers!<br />Slim cat--yes, real kitties are always the best accessory! Your kitty looks like mine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-38-matchy-matchy-denim-on-denim#post-2407880 Mon, 09 Mar 2026 04:50:50 +0000 slim cat 2407880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looks - especially one with a real kitty and kitty tee !&nbsp;<br />Love your photograph with sisters - fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-38-matchy-matchy-denim-on-denim#post-2407879 Mon, 09 Mar 2026 04:41:05 +0000 Star (Lise) 2407879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All really cute! 1 and 2 are my absolute favourites. Those outfits have a retro vibe that is totally cool. Love those tees. Gorgeous pic from the fabulous 80s. The sneakers are cool and comfy so win-win! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-38-matchy-matchy-denim-on-denim#post-2407876 Mon, 09 Mar 2026 03:07:29 +0000 Rock 2407876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a totally crazy blast from the past, and brought back memories I had totally forgotten. I grew up on the Monterey Peninsula and used to model children’s clothes for Holman’s department store in Pacific Grove. This seems so far out of my wheelhouse now that the memory makes me laugh out loud! This was in the 70s, I was in elementary/middle school, and I remember getting a dress that had Sound of Music vibes and a dress coat that I loved but was totally impractical for the weather and for my beach lifestyle. Those were certainly the days!</p> <p>All of the reminiscing aside, these outfit photos are definitely in my wheelhouse. The Wash Lab denim skirt might be going in my shopping cart, and I’m swooning over the Alexis Bittar dragonfly necklace. I recently bought the Adidas Valentine 2026 sneakers and am enjoying then, even after Valentine’s Day.</p> <p>Here’s to perms. I kind of miss them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-38-matchy-matchy-denim-on-denim#post-2407872 Mon, 09 Mar 2026 00:22:25 +0000 goldenpig 2407872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Waving at MsMary who provided the inspiration with her denim on denim look!&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-37-compliments-at-the-hair-salon">https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....hair-salon</a><br />I have several options for matchy matchy denim on denim looks. Not super styled, just trying things on for fun. Which is your favorite look?<br />1. Wash lab denim jacket recommended by another wonderful Fabber, and matching two tone denim skirt, Rag &amp; Bone cherry T shirt, matching cherry heart Nike Valentine's 2023 sneakers (my daughter found a pair of these for $7 at a thrift store, and I wanted to copy her and found a pair on Depop!), Hermes pink bag. The jacket is very thin almost like a denim shirt, so I think I can justify it even though I have three other blue denim jackets--they're all different, LOL!<br />2. Rag &amp; Bone Miramar trucker denim jacket and track pants, Marine Layer striped T, MZ Wallace blue camo backpack, Brooks Glycerine (my podiatrist recommended that I buy some more supportive shoes for bunion prevention because I have flat feet, so I got these and a pair of Asics Kayanos and some supportive inserts for my other shoes). I'm wearing the heck out of this jacket because it matches all of my striped track pants.&nbsp;<br />3. Gap floral horseshoe jeans and cropped denim jacket, Gap T shirt, Alexis Bittar dragonfly necklace, Kate Spade bag. The floral horseshoe jeans were also recommended by the secret Fabber (she's like my personal shopper, I just buy whatever links she sends me, LOL!). I bought the jeans in S and M because they're baggy and they may become too lose if I lose weight. I couldn't resist the matching jacket. The jacket was only available in S and it's a bit snug if I button it, so I found a size M NWT on Poshmark and it's on its way! I know the patterned denim and barrel jeans are a bit much all together, but I kind of toned it down with a plain navy T shirt and plain blue bag.<br />4. AllSaints Clay black denim jacket and Sadie barrel jeans in matching washed black, graphic kitty tee from Amazon (because one ramen kitty graphic tee is not enough, haha), Asics Kayano platinum sneakers, and matching kitty! The Asics and Brooks sneakers are both podiatrist recommended "stability shoes", but I think they look cooler than the orthopedic shoes I remember from the good old days!<br />5. Speaking of the good old days (the 80's of course!), behold the fabulousness of 80's denim on denim! My younger sisters are twins, and when they were younger, they got a lot of attention from strangers especially because my mom would dress them up in matching outfits (usually each with a different color). There were these fashion shows run by mall department stores (it could may well have been Dillards, or JC Penney, I don't remember) where they'd have local kids model the latest outfits for the season and shoppers would stop and watch. Someone from one of the department stores said they wanted the twins to be in their fashion show. I got to be in it too because I was the older sister and my mom insisted they take me too (I looked pretty nerdy and probably wouldn't have gotten picked on my own, LOL!). So once in a while we would be in these fashion shows. There was one show where me (on the left) and my sisters (to the right) and some friends walked the runway in matching acid wash denim jumpsuits. We all had permed hair (my mom made me perm my hair starting age 5!!!) and my outfit had the biggest shoulders. Sometimes we would get to keep the outfit we modeled, but unfortunately not this one. One time we had to pretend to be mannequins and would stand very still wearing our outfits, and then when people came up to look at the outfit, we would start moving and startle them. So bizarre. Crazy but fun memories! The malls used to be the happening hangout spot, we would spend all day hanging out there as teenagers! It was totally like Stranger Things! </p>
