It is getting too hot for it- almost Spring here. But perhaps those high-waisted items will be on trend in our next winter. I intend to keep and wear it. I think I put it away some time in the 90s but could not bear to get rid of it, so stored it until about 2008 when I noticed some very bright colours coming back. Since then, the past 9 years, it has made an appearance every winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-vintage-1986-mondi-jumper#post-1839607 Fri, 25 Aug 2017 16:34:39 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1839607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun sweater! It looks good on you. I really like skylurker's and Angie's ideas for styling, too. It is still, or again, very much in style and perfect for high-waisted pants or skirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-vintage-1986-mondi-jumper#post-1839517 Fri, 25 Aug 2017 06:21:06 +0000 rachylou 1839517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some things stand the test of time.

My MIL crocheted around the edges of the sleeves some while back as they were the only bit that threatened to show age. Thanks for styling suggestions, I will consider, I am not as worried about the absolute best flattery on this one really, it just makes me happy and somehow still feel a bit like I'm 25 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-vintage-1986-mondi-jumper#post-1839298 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 19:04:33 +0000 Aquamarine 1839298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun! I have a soft spot for old sweaters, and have kept a few from the 80s myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-vintage-1986-mondi-jumper#post-1839294 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 19:01:25 +0000 Angie 1839294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the jumper too. VERY '80<b></b>s. <b>VERY&nbsp;FUN</b>.&nbsp;</p> <p>If I were styling you, I'd leave off the layering pink tee and the earrings, and put you in a black pencil skirt, black hose, shocking pink pumps, and dangly black or pink earrings.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-vintage-1986-mondi-jumper#post-1839286 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 18:38:00 +0000 Jenn 1839286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-vintage-1986-mondi-jumper#post-1839280 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 18:05:03 +0000 Mirjana 1839280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice sweater but I can't imagine that can wear it now with more weight, lovely, definitely great item,, keep it at age 87 , it deserves that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-vintage-1986-mondi-jumper#post-1839223 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 14:52:04 +0000 Anonymous 1839223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a great pattern and fab colors!

You look very happy in it. I have a sweater my mother knit in the early 60s. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-vintage-1986-mondi-jumper#post-1839207 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 13:58:25 +0000 Bijou 1839207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, the quality of this jumper is amazing, what a shame that Mondi is no more. You are a great advertisement for buying quality and keeping the item for a long time. This is still beautiful on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-vintage-1986-mondi-jumper#post-1839189 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 12:48:32 +0000 Anonymous 1839189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How wonderful that you still can wear this vibrant jumper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-vintage-1986-mondi-jumper#post-1839185 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 12:15:15 +0000 lozz_oz 1839185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so vibrant and joyful in this jumper Jenni. How great that it's still in high rotation + its lasted so long too - maybe the cooler NZ climate keeps the silver fish at bay </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-vintage-1986-mondi-jumper#post-1839178 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 11:53:21 +0000 Anonymous 1839178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY YOU!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-vintage-1986-mondi-jumper#post-1839177 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 11:51:47 +0000 skylurker 1839177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it. Would wear without the pink top under it, with high waisted black skirt or wide trousers (because it looks rather short). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-vintage-1986-mondi-jumper#post-1839175 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 11:48:27 +0000 Style Fan 1839175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember Mondi.&nbsp; Very pretty sweater.&nbsp; I agree with The Cat about the turtle neck.&nbsp; How does it look on its own with black pants? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-vintage-1986-mondi-jumper#post-1839161 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 10:55:35 +0000 The Cat 1839161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember Mondi. Good quality. Of course, you can still wear this jumper. However, I think the pink shirt with its loose neck somehow steals too much attention from the clean lines of the jumper. I suggest wearing it with:<br /> - something else underneath, perhaps a white shirt/jumper/blouse, or nothing at all<br /> - black pants/skirt<br /> - shoes in one (or more) of the bright colours of the jumper </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-vintage-1986-mondi-jumper#post-1839159 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 10:48:08 +0000 bridgie 1839159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenni, That is a very pretty jumper.&nbsp; It obviously makes you happy to wear it.&nbsp; I love the bright colors in it. Yes, you can wear it when you are 87! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-vintage-1986-mondi-jumper#post-1839145 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 10:03:40 +0000 Jenni NZ 1839145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some Fabbers asked, when I have mentioned this item before, if I could post when I wore it. I have probably worn it about another 10 times this winter. It is my oldest item in regular wear. I also have my mother's 1964 red wool coat but I wear it seldom, and a 1985 tartan shirt which is worn about twice per winter under a particular cowl-neck red jumper only where the neckline suits. I paid a lot of money for this in 1986, my second year of work, because I LOVED it. I adore bright colours and this has 4! I obviously looked better in it with a 25 year old face and long curly hair then, and over 20 kg slimmer, but due to the shape it still fits and still makes me happy to look down and see it. If I am still alive in another 31 years at age 87, maybe I could still wear it?! Mondi was a German knitwear brand which is sadly no longer around. The jumper was imported to an expensive Auckland, NZ boutique at the time. Made in Germany. </p>
