Those 70's Girls

This morning, I was reading a Blog-Friend's blog. First, the title, Hippie Chick, caught my attention ~ after all, having been a teen & young adult in the '70's I HAD to see what she said. When I got there, she brought back some great "fashion memories." lol Things like: "long hair, sometimes braided, wore: jeans, peasant tops, crochet vests, fringed leather jacket, wedge heel shoes, or boots . . . "

Yep. Been there, done that. :-)

My answer to her was: "Yep, I'm right there w/you. I'm a 1977 grad. All the clothes you mentioned, I wore, too. I had Earth Shoes (JUST got a new pair last week after all these years!!!!) ~ I had 2 pairs: sandals for summer & oxfords for winter;

but if I weren't wearing those I had on my cowboys boots & was off somewhere riding a horse. I had loooong, straight hair, past my bootie. Hemp & leather jewelry,

One of my favorite things to wear was one of my jeans skirts ~ when our favorite worn-out jeans were just about to give, we would find some funky material, split the inside-leg seams & sew the material to the front & back of the jeans & make an awesome long skirt.

If our jeans were really bad, we'd cut the legs off at the top, sew the leg opening together & make a purse; we'd cut a nice long piece from one of the legs, sew an end to each side of the waist of the new jean purse & that would be our shoulder strap.

Sometimes we'd even put a long strip of leather through the belt loops & tie it to look like our jean purse had a belt.

Ahhhh...thanks for the memories!"

Now, that's a blast from the past!
