I think the worst outfit I had (which I loved at the time) was a bright yellow sleeveless turtleneck dress with black polka dots. I would love to find a shot of me in that !!!

Boy, does this ever take me back!!! I’d have to say the one that really comes to mind is the “tent dress”! I did most of my own sewing and had this yellow flowered mini tent dress…no wonder my dad flipped about how short it was!!!! Sheesh! I must have had a thing for yellow because I also had a yellow midriff top (low cut BOTH ways!!!) and a matching polka dot bellbottoms! hehehehehehe – and my daughter was soooooo ticked when she found out that I threw these out!

Thanks for the wordart. It’s fabulous and I can’t wait to use it! I think my favorite outfit was one I had in high school. This would’ve been late 60’s-early 70’s. It was a pair of grey denim hiphugger bellbottom jeans. The bellbottom part of the jeans were probably 12″ in diameter! I had a very formfitting (i.e., tight!) sort of jersey type top that was multi-colored I wore with them. The top actually fit like a leotard with snaps in the crotch. I don’t know what i was thinking. The outfit was horrid!! But I thought I looked totally HAWT!!

The HUGE T-shirt (probably neon also!!) that was then bunched and secured with an elastic at the waist. I couldn’t even wear those shirts now, they were so big!

I remember the tye-dyed look. I remember taking some of my favorite jeans and bleaching spots on them! LOL Early 70’s and adding a patch of fabric to the legs of a pair of pants to make a bell bottom out of a pair of regular pants. I see some of that today funny how some of the fashions return.

Thank you for the wordart. This brings back memories- I loved those puffy painted shirts- I had a whole wardrobe of them in every color and tied them in a knot on the side.

Hey Jodie

Great Layout! So many articles of clothing come to mind. I would have to say it was this pair of jeans I had. I don’t remember the brand they were, but they had pleats in the front, tapered legs which I then pegged really tight at the ankle. Pleats are not flattering and it is amazing what we though was so cool back then.

OMGosh – tight black leggings and one of those sweaters that were supposed to come down over your rear end and cover things.
This one was peacock blue and black striped and they went horizontally instead of vertically.

I LOVED this outfit at the time but now I look back at photos and I looked like an Oompa Loompa!! It’s frightening actually!! YIKES!
