Sorry Folks I led a very sheltered life so I have nothing to startle you with.
 
In the 70s I used To go to discos wearing trousers with 20inch cuffs with brown and black leather shoes with 4inch heels, as in Elton John.
 
Leading a quiet country life, I didnit go for that kind of dress fashion.

I recall the 60's with fake pads under your hair to get the perfect beehive hairstyle, heavy black eyeliner and blue or green eyeshadow and the palest pink semi-gloss lipstick. I wore a lolly pink Thai silk dress to one country ball, how tarty. No photos but I can still feel myself feeling so attractive..then.. argh!

I remember the shift tent dresses in the late 60's & early 70's.
Flower power & discos later.

As a teenager in the sixties it was "Drainpipe" trousers. In the seventies we had Flares, Safari Suits and Hawaiian Shirts.

I used to love wearing a miniskirt and a boobtube, but I must admit it made me look a bit gay. :(

Well believe it or not I used to rock an afro hair do, me with blonde straight hair, I thought I was pretty cool 😎 🙃
 
I used to think my velour tracksuit in bright pink was the peak of cool—wore it everywhere, even to dinner once! These days, I’ve been getting better fashion inspo and fun ideas from blogs like https://mickeycranks.com , where there’s way less chance I’ll end up looking like an overstuffed marshmallow again.

I loved my fashion of the 70s. Brown satin pants worn with a boob tube top.

Also loved my Stagger or Peach jeans

Embarrassing clothes were worn by my husband, it was 1976 and he loved his white chunky shoes. I seriously hated those
