When Life Was Groovy, Part 6 - Fall Dresses!!

Fall is finally here.  All the kiddos are back in school, and where did mom go to get the latest groovy back to school 70s fashions for everyone??  Well, the Big Book catalogs naturally!


The year is 1973 and the mini hadn't been totally forgotten.  Nope, thankfully it was still around - along with big floppy collars!

 Even moms got into the 70s groove with the giant floppy ties!

Classic 70s style!

A very conservative look here by Kay and friends.  Let's face it, the Big Books weren't exactly big on some of teh more outrageous fashions fof teh day.  Perhaps that's because the Big Books were where moms (and grand moms) shopped.

 The leggings are nice!  Kathy, Colleen and friend certainly look like they were ready for school!

"Really Turn You On?"  Well those groovy Spiegel fashions shown by Pat Miles and Karen certainly can do that!

More Spiegel Fall dresses!

Kathy and friends are certainly terrific in these 1973 contemporary dresses!

Kathy one last time along with Colleen!  Certainly brings back a lot of fond memories of those school days back then! (This pic courtesy of Blue Senshi, Thanks!)

  1. After searching from time to time over the last few years,I stumbled upon your blog trying to find my favorite mystery model of the mid to late 70s. Alas! She is above to the left of Kathy in a burgundy top,skirt and tights! It seems you don't know her either...it's difficult to find her, but she was always in the catalogs then. I wanted to look like her. Also, I've never seen Kathy til now, and she has a dream face, the epitome of youthful beauty of the "California Girl" era. Perfection! So glad I found you here!
