Home Front

The main character, Suzanne, in A Nos Amours finds herself exploring her own limits with boys and men as she grows up in the 1980's, but needs to stay the same little girl her family knows her as while she's at home. Suzanne's at-home wardrobe is as slovenly and girlish as her street clothes are provocative. In order to keep these personae of herself separate, she dresses very sweetly at home, and a bit more risque while out socializing, which will be explored in the next post. 

The bright colors, loose fits, and layers shout to her mother, father, and brother that she is still young and playful. She stays covered up and innocent in her house to avoid suspicion, even just pulling at the neckline of her sweater to cover up a potential hickey from her secret boyfriend.

Reds, browns, and pinks were most popular with Suzanne. A huge trend for youth during the '80s was chunky cardigans and heavy jackets, which is obviously very apparent in Suzanne's at-home ensembles, like her fur trimmed leather bomber over the baby pink sweater she's wearing just above.
