A look Towards Spring!!

Well, it's Winter and cold and I didn't feel like posting about THAT.  So why not take a look ahead to Spring!!

And what better way than to look back at the Penny's 1975 Spring / Summer Big Book Catalog!!

Yep, Colleen, Kay, and Karen will chase the winter blues away!!

Bell bottoms with those groovy hats - now that's a killer combination!!

More groovy bell bottoms!

Not sure about the "country looks" here, but still better than the Winter cold.

K Club Special: The Big Four!!

 A rare pic of The Big Four of the K Club................

Kay, Colleen, Karen, and Kathy - all in corduroy!!

Now Back to the Catalogs!!

 Okay the previous post was a fun diversion.  Now back to the groovy catalogs of the 70s!!

Some nice Spring fashions from Penneys!!

And some more!!!  I'm not sure where these pics were taken, but there is definitely a garden theme going on here!!

Let's just stay with the Spring Penneys theme for this post!!

Groovy sports jackets!!

And finally on the garden path.   Perhaps it's the yellow brick road to 70s fashion fun!!

Kathy and Karen: Long or Short?

 Long or short, that is the question????

And Kathy and Karen give us teh answer.  First the short...

And then the long......

I have to admit, you can't go wrong either way!!!

When Life was Groovy: JCP Fall Fashions!

Back when kids actually went to school instead of Zoom, those groovy Big Book Fall fashions were what all the cool kids wore!!

Nothing says groovy Fall fashions like polka dots and flower prints!

Kathy with Pam Dawber!!

Corduroy was all the rage back in the mid 70s!

Kathy and Karen show us what was hot in tops back in 76!!!  Say let's check out that inset pic of Kathy...

There's that million dollar smile!!

A Last Look At Summer

 Ahh, the end of summer is always a time for reflection.  This year I'm not sure what we should be reflecting on?!?!?  Anyway, here are some sizzlin' swimwear from the 70s to take your mind off of things for a short while....

K Club Special: Kathy!!!

 Yep, It's that time again - time for a K Club Special on Kathy herself....

And what would be more emblematic of her career??? Well how about a pic from the Junior Bazaar section of Sears along with two more of the more popular catalog models of that era: Kay and Colleen! (And yep, there's that one hand holding the other pose again!

Hands in pockets this time for Adens!

However, in teh inset pic, we are back to that pose again!!

This time Jill has the hands n pockets look, while Kathy, well, she's looking fantastic here!!

Casual dresses from Penneys along with Karen and an unknown model.

Back to Sears!!

Once more Junior Bazaar.  This time with a tunic top!!

And now for a special treat.  These pics were published by Dede Pittman on the Facebook page "Popular Fashion Models of the 60s and 70s."

Kathy, Colleen, and Karen were featured in this pictoral.

What else can I say, this is Awesome!!

Excellent tank tops.  I sure wish I could locate this "Regal" catalog.  Never heard of it before!!

When Life Was Groovy: JCP 1978!!!

 Ahhh, 1978.  I remember it fondly.  And boy, I'd sure like to go back to those days and forget this year!!!

A really nice pic of three of the stalwarts of catalog modeling in the 70s: Kay, Kathy, and Karen. 

Looks like we have several inset pics of Kathy on this one.  Let's check them out.....

First inset pic.....

Wow, an inset inside an inset!! 

You know I just noticed something.  In almost every one of these pics, Kathy is holding finger(s) of her left hand in her right hand.  What's up with that???? 

Repost here I know, but it proves my point!!

Aaaaaaand again.  Hmm, this is something I need to explore further in future posts.  Anyway, you just gotta love these dresses.  I haven't seen anyone where anything like that in a LONG time.  

Well, at least not a female,. Let's not go there.  Oh boy, how I REALLY miss those days.
