Wore flares and platforms, but the flares weren’t that wide, and the platforms not that high. There’s sometimes a fine line between fashion and looking ridiculous ! Viv.

Amen Eric!My current fashion hate is what I call the snot rings hanging from the nose in otherwise beautiful faces.
Ah yes the floppy felt hat, forgotten all about mine until I saw your post Viv. I remember wearing a red floppy wide brimmed hat and a gorgeous pair of red shoes to match the hat. I also wore a red beret during those years. I don’t really suit a hat now, I am missing the long hair! JenLoved cheesecloth too, with a bit of lace insert on the yolk. Very feminine and better unironed as it went back to its original shape. I had a couple of smocks in cheesecloth. Great with jeans or hot pants. Cool in summer.
I also loved velvet. Preferably in rich colours like purple. Had a midi coat and loon pants in purple velvet, and a maxi coat and loon pants in black velvet. Should have worn a wide brimmed, floppy hat too, but was never really brave enough for hats. Funny really, because just 30 or 40 years earlier it would have been second nature for women to wear a hat. But I was just too self conscious. And I didn’t like flat hair.

I wore beads too Lyn, all colours. I particularly loved wearing chokers, I used to make my own from bits of material and put some little dangly bits on. Think I still have one somewhere, lovely silky grey, probably wouldn’t fit round my neck now, ha ha. Jensame here jeanette..i had 2 or 3 floppy hats wore with long hippy type dresses..jesus sandals and lots of beads...my hair is shoulder length now but back then it was past my waist....happy days actually i have a couple of floppy summer hats now..love wearing them

Lovely pic Viv, mini skirts were great. JenNot hot pants Eric, but a mini skirt. Having just said I didn’t wear hats, I seem to be wearing a hat !!! This was December 1969. Viv.View attachment 154834
my wife had one of them when i met her.Anyone wear a leather fringed waistcoat. I had one similar to this one. Bought it from Chelsea Girl in Erdington. It was a tan leather colour and I loved it. Bought a matching fringed handbag too. You can never have enough fringes. Viv.

Don’t think I had a fringed waistcoat. I remember having a green suede waistcoat with crocheting around the edges, wore it with a green leather mini skirt. I was always worried about spilling stuff on them, they were difficult to clean! Gorgeous clothes weren’t they. JenAnyone wear a leather fringed waistcoat. I had one similar to this one.
