Did you like the mini skirts?
The maxi skirts
The flares
the Winkle pickers
wot were your faves
I loved the fringe jackets and platform shoes
cos they made my height of being vertically challenged shoot up!

I loved the 60's when we would dress up in our suits on a saturday night and go out on the town.
I loved suits,double breasted,italian,pin striped,matching ties and handkerchieves.With the silk handkerchief sticking out of your coat breast pocket.
I've still got them all in my wardrobe.They don't fit any more, cos of the muscle i've added to my torso,but i couldn't throw them away!!

Yeah man at C and A was dead good with those sewn in hankies
bit of a beggar if you needed to blow your nose though

muscle on your torso?

Always did fall off 'em!
I loved my shaggy suede long boots with the fringe from knee to ankle with wooden beads threaded on the fringes.
Worn with hot pants and a matching suede jerkin with big fluffy sheepskin edges all around ... (
thinks ) What a dag I must have looked, but I loved it all.

I had a blue Trevira skirt suit, which had a lovely two tone sheen.
also a multicoloured flowered dress with matching coat - reversable (plain on the other side) I can see it now

I used to love my Bay City Rollers out fit
How stupid did I look! Calf length trousers with tartan down the sides, scarf around my wrist!
I loved my Harrington jacket my cousin gave me, it was blue but wished it was black!
Really wanted a three buttoned high waisted trousers (cant think what they were called now?) but wasnt allowed them, see high waists are coming back!
Loved my wedges (shoes) even though they made my ankles black!
