It's funny how little my taste in clothes has changed since I was a child..... What I wear to work on an average Tuesday might be the same as what I sported in 1974..... Levis, 'Topsiders', Chunky belt topped off with an 'alligator' shirt--- Now that I think about it-- my choices were maybe gutsier back then.....
For instance, the outfit above-- those striped pants with brown ringed 'Fry' boots--- at church no less--
I remember going to the Bayshores school bus stop--- enjoying the 'woosh' my bell bottoms made as I walked..... There were favorite items too-- a burgundy turtleneck nylon sweater--- vertical textured stripes with a zipper--- the end of which had a ring--- or a short sleeve shirt-- red placket front had small red (again...) naive drawings of birds--- Fabulous! It's true in the eighties ( my twenties...) There were some horrible choices..... Most notably--- Black pointy toed cowboy boots-- awful! Or moccasins--- a scarf around my head and shorts (granted we were going dancing....) It cracks me up that 'the kids today' emulate that aesthetic--- It's cool however to, 'throw it all away' and just do whatever----- I still believe that---
