It was certainly more bold and flamboyant. The hats and clothes became more grand and colourful. I wonder if it was to cover up her weight gain or just a sign of the times. Nevertheless, I've always loved how she looked and dressed during the late 1980's/early 1990's.

1987 was a big year for the group and considering how strong competition they had back then, it was a huge feat to sell as many albums and had as many hits as they had. "Little Lies", "Everywhere" and "Big Love" all went Top 10 in US. But I must add, that my parents remember that Polish radio station (the one that was playing so-called "imperialistic" music) picked up "Family Man" song and was playing it a lot of times. For the further proof of Fleetwood Mac's popularity in my country I give some information about chart positions in 1987 (in the most important back then Polish Chart-"Polish Radio 3 Chart") :

1. Little Lies #1 (14 weeks on the chart)
2. Seven Wonders #10 (11 weeks on the chart)
3. Everywhere #6 (10 weeks on the chart)
4. Big Love #18 (8 weeks on the chart)
5. Isn't It Midnight #31 (4 weeks on the chart)

No, I'm not sure. I bet Sanne would know the answer to this.

I always thought the clothes around 1989-90 were to try to cover up the weight gain.
