How about a pair of dungarees my mam made for me when I was about 12 or 13.

White with red spots all over them.

Yuuuuuuuck.

my best outfit that year was a babygro :))))))

My mini skirts......or pelmets as my Dad used to call them.....lol..... it would surely be mutton dressed as lamb.....

I bought some material and went to a dance in a lime green crepe halter neck dress that I was up all night & day making.....thought I looked the biz...now when I look at that photo , oh why was I up all night !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I stood out, I don't think anyone had ever seen that colour before LOL.

lol......thinking of that Marilyn, do you remember the craze of DJs at dances, they would switch the lights out and put on the ultra violet which showed up everything bright white.........especially bras and panties.....

oh yes and the dandruff, !!!!,,,,,,but didnt your teeth look white under them lamps........and the scabby all spotty youths looked good aswell.}}}}}}}}}}}}

~~Ha Karen,,you didnt see me,,and mole I could have looked like in a pr of Manfred Man sunspecks,,,so tiny my eyes were bigger than they were,,,,,,,,,,,and a **fur** Sonny waistcoat,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,:}}}}}}}}}}}

oh the shame of it now........but the fun ,,,,,,,:}

I had a bright red PVC raincoat.
I thought I looked great, but it was rather useless at keeping me dry, because the water ran straight off and soaked my mini-skirted legs.
Brrrr !

I must have looked like a walking tomato.

i think the days of my

5 inch platform shoes and boots have long gone

I did buy a lovely pair of Swede black hot pants.....now they were the biz and one day I wore them to take my 3yr old to nursery and somehow a man in a mini started to follow me.
I nearly S**T myself....LOL
I ran to my friends house in my road and pleaded with her to let me in as I did not want this man to know where I lived.

Now how selfish is that ?...... this friend so happened to have her hubby in the house and went outside to give him the brush off !!

I never wore them to the nursery again ..and I still have nightmares now about that !

Now I was not in my Youth.....but I felt young !!

Karen I swear I had the widest legged flares going,,,,and many the time I near went A over T in them,they flapped and wound round my legs so much,

then an all time disaster,,new Wrangler jacket it was stiff and too new looking so on Brighton beach I tied shingle in the arms to give it a bit more aged look,,after throwing it wet about for a while,,,,, tiny holes in the sleeves and back.!!
not the look I was after,,,(((

Fashion I think I had a good collective mix of what was what then,,,,,,long flowing dresses,,all colours of tights,,,,, white knee socks, and boots to match. you name it .:jeeeees ,I blush now,,,,,it was Jean Shrimpton eat yer heart out :}}}}}

Leather hotpants
Yellow loons
Thigh length boots
3 inch white platform shoes
Afghan coat
cat suits (various)

Ooops! A MINI CAR...Karen ...LOL .... a Black Mini car. !


Marilyn.

oh Karen yes them green tights were a sort of greengage colour,,they wouldnt have looked so bad if they hadnt been so sheer,,,,,,,,,
hangs head I wore them aswell.....:} my legs must have looked like the stems of a daisy!!!!

I remember the long shaggy Afghans and cat suits with a polo neck sweater,,,,,,,wasnt some of the stuff gross though when you look back,,(((

A pair of bright yellow Hot-Pants ~ showed my daughter picture of me wearing them and she could not stop laughing ~got them out them the other day from a few bits i kepted from yester year and now shes wearing them............................and she looks great in them.

A pair of Royal Blue Bell Bottoms with a Daisy print.Think they may have been hipsters.I thought I was the Bees Knees lol. I bought them in a boutique called Fannys in Plymouth .

There's some clothes I wish I could wear now :)

I want to know,,,what Lynda was wearing that school uniform for,,:}}}}}}}}}}

Some white pvc knee boots, like a shoe with a stretchy leg part,really loved them.
They went well with a lovely mac which looked like a Union Jack, all red,white and blue checks and stripes.
How awful when I think back :((
