The worst decade for women’s hairstyles was the 80s.

The 70’s for women’s fashion wasn’t anywhere close to the awful men’s styles. Peasant blouses, bell bottom hip huggers, hot pants, and halter tops. I couldn’t afford a knitted vest so rummaged through granny’s yarn and learned to knit. It turned out ok but glad that fad is gone. Most everything I sewed myself starting in 6th grade. I remember a green and black poncho with yellow pompoms, lol. There was a red, white and blue striped pantsuit that was very stylish. And culottes. A friend gave me a Keep on Truckin’ t-shirt for my birthday that was the coolest. I still have my blue Gunne Sax prom dress!

I remember Gunne Sax. Don't think I ever owned anything from them though. My prom dress was a full length green polyester halter dress. Very simple; nothing like the fancy princess-like creations the girls wear now. I also remember the schizophrenic period when midi and maxi lengths were competing. The midis were usually ugly as sin and maxi stuff dragged in the snow and mud.
