Did you have things like this in your home,or wear clothes like this?
Look back and have a good laugh, at the cutting edge from the JC Penney catalogue of 1977
It was hard for those of us that were young in the 1970's ,just look at what we thought was cool,...Just look at the size of those belt loops 
This guy needs to give David Soul his "threads" back 
And look at the suits guys were wearing,
That suit came with a matching bathroom set
just check out the width of those lapels
And look at what was hip for the home in 1977, we call it " upholstery to old barrels"
Then maybe time for a round of golf, in this snazzy suit?
Ladies don't think that you escaped the fashion disasters
And then it was time for bed...
so do you still think were you "cool" in the 70's...? |

I don't know about cool, but I was a heck of a lot shorter in the 70's. Thanks to T.M.I., no one can call me half-pint anymore. Well, they can but it wouldn't be accurate.
We still have a left-over from the 70's around here. A store called, "Just Clogs". |

Oh my, it's been a while.....
I remember mini's, midi's and maxi's as far as dresses were concerned. Couldn't make it out of the house in a mini, but we gals use to wear belts we could roll part of the dress up in once we were out of our parents watchful eyes........ |

Nah, while most gals wore mini's up to their undies almost, my mom and dad (as well as a few of my friend's parents) wanted us to wear our skirts down to our knees. So, when possible, you wore a belt, so you could inch up the skirt an inch or two. Still longer than most of the gals by a long shot. |
