Is that really a pile of manure printed on the front of her shirt?

(38,326 posts)Boot cut Levis and "western" style shirts. Or worse. With round John Lennon "granny glasses."

My girlfriend had one "burnt orange" and one "lime green" tube top. For more formal occasions she also wore "peasant blouses," "granny dresses," and round glasses.
The funniest thing about the time was the gym shorts we wore, men and women. They were tiny.
pipi_k

Purple.
Those and a pair of black lace up oxford type clunky heel shoes, long blonde hair...guaranteed to cause traffic accidents and guys walking into street signs...
sigh...the good old days...
