Couples Time, Part 12 - Baby It's Cold Outside!!

His 'n Her coordinated fashions of the 70s were't only for the warm days of summer.  No, no, no!  Just because the mercury has dropped and Christmas is approaching doesn't mean you had to hang up those coordinated fashions.  It fact, just the opposite!  It was the season to use cold weather gear to show the world that you had that special bond!

And whether you choose plaid or a plain, the jeans shirts simply HAD to be matching!  I mean what else is the point of being a couple?!?

A closeup of Kathy in the his 'n hers matching shirt jackets.  All I can say is "That's soooo 70s!"

"I really can't stay....Baby it's cold outside....I've got to go away..." It certainly looks like Karen is trying to get away here.  And if you heard this song in the original lyrics you could understand why!!

Sighh, It wouldn't be the 70s with out some earth tone hippie-style threads - in his 'n her matching, naturally.

And here we have two happy couples getting ready to ride a stagecoach?  Except that nobody looks too happy. Why the long faces guys?

Still with the sad faces.  Say, isn't the guy driving the stagecoach in the excact same pose as the previous pic?  Maybe he's frozen in place?!?

That's better!  Plenty of happy faces here as Kathy and friends light up the winter gloom with their dazzling smiles!!  But what couple couldn't be happy in those groovy matching 70s styles!

More smiles!  This time from Rande and Kay!

Finally, nothing says love in the Christmas season than His 'n Hers Rib-Knit Sweatshirts!  (In Orlon Acrylic no less! Yep I'm definitely in the Christmas spirit now!)

That's So 70s: Christmas Time is Sweater Time!

Sweaters.  Nothing says Christmas time more or is more Chirstmasy than the always popular and always appreciated sweaters.  And when those Christmas catalogs hit the mailboxes, you just knew that not only was it toy time for the kiddos, but it was sweater time for everyone!

And naturally any respectable Christmas sweater has to have a campy Christmas theme like the reindeer.  However, I noticed that Kathy seemed to go for a more subdues theme....

 Not bad, with a hint of Christmas colors....

Hold the jewelry!!  What every women REALLY wants for Christmas is a sweater (please note your humble blogger takes no responsibility for any fallout should you happen to follow this advice!)

Hey, this is supposed to be a Christmas themed post on sweaters.  These look more appropriate for St. Patrick's Day!  And we apparently have a model somewhere that is missing her feet!

Okay, we found the missing model, decked out in a Christmas green sweater!

Okay, okay, this is plainly getting ridiculous!  Enough with the green sweaters!!!

And beware what you ask for.  Instead of green, now we have pink which Wendy, Kay, and Cay look great, I can't say that pink is exactly in the Christmas spirit.

Okay, okay, okay, I get it.  First we went on a green sweater spree and now we've moved on to pink. However, that doesn't exactly look like a sweater to me.

 Well apparently they are "lace trimmed" sweaters so I guess they count.

Pam, Karen, and Kathy turn on the cute in these classic sweaters...

 More sweaters.  Say this is getting a little monotonous.  Where is that 70s grooviness that we've come to know and expect from our 70s catalogs?!?

Even the "Sweater-Skirts" are fairly tame.  I'm looking for a little more pizzazz.

Not bad, but where's the Christmas spirit?  All of these 70s Christmas catalog sweaters seem a little disappointingly lame to me.  I guess sweaters are one of those items that are timeless, even in the 70s.

That's a little better.  Sweaters that have that special 70s earth tone theme.  Still, I expected more 70s zaniness......

Ahhh, that's much, MUCH better.  Now I'm in the Christmas mood ready to buy sweaters for the whole family (I can hardly wait to see the surprised look in their eyes on Christmas morning!)  All I can say is "That's Sooooo 70s!"
