Do you remember when stores used to sell skirt/blouse sets? The skirt and blouse were an ensemble and so chic- those were the good days in fashion. Nowadays if you try to match a skirt with a top it is so difficult and you still end up dumpy looking…. Often shops carry skirts that never have the matching top. Fashion became terrible and sloppy.

Making a Jean skirt out of a pair of jeans. Tripping on the cuffs of bell bottoms getting off the bus. Everyone laughed. ( School bus) then tripped up the stairs to my house. Everyone laughed again.
It wasn’t an act. I just fall alot.

Hot pants with short sleeved long open front tunic top trimmed with daisies
suede mini skirts with a
matching tasseled waistcoat
Levi’s shrunk to fit by sitting in the bath ( sorry mum for blue stain) blue stained legs
Long button front denim coat dresses worn
Over a tank top and hot pants
Lace front knee high platform boots
Jeans seam undone at bottom of the leg and a huge triangle of denim or different material sewn in to make the biggest flares ever…
Zigzag patterns on tops, skirts, dresses and tunic tops
Lots of orange and browns colours
Ridiculously high Platform shoes how did I ever manage to run in them?
Afro hair was fashionable as well
Oh the memories my first two children are children of the 70’s
And the start of cut off denim shorts sigh!

Earth Shoes and boots…loved them they were comfortable and would probably still do well today if they were brought back…mine were like a desert boot type of earth Shoes.
Prewashed Jeans do it yourself. Buy a packet of stuff at Pants Coral to soften and fade your jeans out. Oh and LEVIS 10.99 a pair..no women’s jeans you had to find men’s/boys jeans that would shape to fit your hips and corduroy Levis as well.
