Random Goodness: What's Next???

What do I mean with "What's Next???"

Apparently in 1970, what was next was a variety of artificial fabrics!!  You have ot admit, that the plaid minis are nice though!!

 Yep again with the polyester, and Kathy in a wig!!

One final close up of Kathy!! 

Ransom Goodness: Springtime in the 70s!!

And that could only mean two things.....

Mini skirts and shorts!!  And here we have double the pleasure of Kathy and Karen, just in time for Spring!!  I'm certainly ready for some warmer weather and fun in the sun!!

Random Goodness: Terry is so Very...

Hot!!  Don't believe me???

Karen and Kathy get us started with some very hot terry knits.

Speaking of hot!! Colleen in some very merry, terry tops!!!

And terry is so very right for a day at the beach too!!

 Speaking of the beach, did these two intrepid, terry clad explorers just row up on the beach??

Nah, they know that in blinding white terry jumpsuits, they're just too cool for a hot beach.  Not only is terry so very hot, back in the 70s, terry was so very cool!!

Random Goodness: Prom Time!!

Ahh, prom season is here and what better time to look back at some of those groovy prom styles from the Big Book catalogs of the 70s....

Pam, Kathy, and another model is some classic prom dresses from JCPenneys.

 A close up of the inset pic.

Some more styles from Sears. Somehow these dresses lack that 70s "pizzazz"

You know, these dresses are beginning to look the same to me. 

Okay, this is a little different, more of a Southern theme. 

Still I'm getting just a little bored of this.  Why don't we electrify this prom season a bit....

Now we're talking!!!  Leave it to the guys to spice this post up!!  I mean who doesn't look good in a all blue tux?????

 Ahh, never mind that.

I guess this is what people THINK the 70s were like......

And what they actually were like!!

I would be re-miss if I didn't end this post with how the dads got all formal for the season.....

Whiskey and guns, what could possibly go wrong???  Maybe they're waiting for the guys in blue to bring their daughters home!!!

Random Goodness: Young & Lively!!

Everyone is familiar with the Junior Bazaar section of the Sears  Big Book catalogs, but they also had another section called Young & Lively.  I'm not sure what the difference was, but it was pretty cool too.....

 Gabardine Greats indeed!!

 Nice hat!!

More hats!! That must have been a thing back then.  Somehow I don't remember those kind of hats being a thing.

Some very nice dresses to end on.  The Young & Lively section was certainly a winner!!

Random Goodness: Dresses!!

The Contemporary Look 1973!! and it is awesome!!

Like I said, Awesome!!!

Random Goodness: Mid Winter Sale!!

Just in time for the new year.....

From JCPenneys. Those sale circulars are always hit or miss. This one was a hit!!

Random Goodness: Shirts and Skirts Spiegel Style!!

With Kay and Kathy!!

 Only one dollar more!! What a bargain!!

Kay and Kathy seemed pleased at the savings!!

Random VERY Goodness: Just Cause.....

I'm going to be out for a bit and wanted to leave my loyal readers a treat.....

Yes I love my loyal readers....'Nuff Said!!

Like I said!  'Nuff Said!!

Thanks you Sears!!!

Random Goodness: Sweaters and Pants!!

Fall means one thing in fashion - sweaters!!

Especially when paired with groovy bell bottom pants!!  Are those pants kind of gasp!! PLAID.  I'm not sure I like the direction that this post is headed!!

The pants are high wasiters and cuffed, but still a little plaid-y for my taste.  The bow tie is polka dotted, so maybe that will put the plaid-madness at bay!!

 Yeah not much to say here, no plaids in sight!!

Hey how did the gingham shirt get in this post?!?!

 Well this post is getting kind of dull, not much to see.......

Yeah, yawn, not much crazy, zany 70s non sense with sweaters and pants....

But wait!!!

Oh no!! The Plaids are back!! And this time in high waisted, bell bottom variety!! Will we ever be free of the dreaded plaids of the 70s!! And it has the same "It's a Plaid, Plaid World" title from the 1973 Aldens Big Book Catalog!! (or at least the same editor!!)

Random Goodness: So Very Terry

Is so, so very hot..........

Especially with models like Dottie, Kay, Kathy, and Cay!!

Random Goodness: The Easy, Ever-on-the-go Blazer!!

Or something like that....

Not exactly disco, but the turtlenecks bespeak easy 70s chic!!

Random Goodness: Spiegel Awesomeness!!

And it's pretty dang awesome!!

Peach bell bottoms from Kathy, and with white platform shies.  All I can say is "That's Sooo 70s!!"

Random Goodness: Summer Dresses!

From Sears where America shops, or used to shop, or whatever....

Kathy and Kay and friends looking very classy and very dressy!!

Random Goodness: The New Long Look...

For 1971...............

Somehow I missed these dresses at the disco scene of the 70s!!

Random Goodness: Indigo Summer Blues!

In Indigo dyed denim no less....

But there's nothing blue about these gals.  They're all smiles here especially with those groovy scarves that can double as a head covering!!  (Check out that background. Looks, uh, "real" to me!)

Random Goodness: Say Yes to the Dress!

Say yes to the Dress, 70s style!!

 Kathy  is the bride and Karen is the MOH.

And now the roles are reversed!  Either way, they both look lovely!!

Random Goodness: April Showers.....

....Bring May flowers and look stylish in early 70s rainwear from Penney's.......

And it doesn't get any more groovy than this with Kathy (Jackson), Kathy (Loghry) and friend.  The go-go boots, gloves, and scarf are a nice touch too!!

Random Goodness: Brrr, It's Cold!!

The Tops Have it, but.......
