| | | I'm soooo glad I've always been photophobic - I shudder to think what I looked like then!!!
I have a few outdated Penney's cataloges stashed in the attic. Maybe in 30 years my heirs will dig them out and make fun of what was in style just a couple of years ago! |

| | | Ah yes... The 'Twiggy' look. I never realized how appropriate her name was.

| | | I was twelve years old in '73. My summer look as a t-shirt, jeans, Pro-Keds and a Rawlings signature series Willie Mays glove.

| | | I graduated from high school with girls who dressed like that. EEEK. My bride-to-be used to dress like that and I still married her. In fact, I couldn’t get enough of her "chic look".
Boy, have times ever changed.
I just love the shoes on page 93, and whoever did this has way too much time on their hands.

Are you sure a '73 catalogue is appropriate?

| | | Well, that was interesting. I remember two or three of the models had short TV careers.
To put this into perspective, I was married in 1973...it was a very good year!
