On the Run in 70s His 'n Her Fashions

 The couple that runs together stays together...

Especially in His 'n Her fashion!!

The Jean Scene

 From Aldens......

An American tradition, jeans.  And what could be more American than Wranglers!!!

Aldens 1976 Spring Summer Big Book

 Some groovy pics from the 1976 Aldens Big Book catalog.....

Wow, those are some snazzy pants that Laura is wearing!!

vvv

Yes, I've always thought that scarves were "fashion magic!!

"

Shelly Hack makes an appearance!!

Nothing says Aldens more that "fluid polyester knit tops."

One final pic with Colleen!!

When Categories Collide

What happens when Sizzlin by the Shore collides with the best of 70s His 'n Her fashions??? Well as you can see teh results are groovy, awesome 70s fashion fun!!!
 

Random Goodness: Springtime Coats!

 Spring is almost here, but you may still need an occasional coat.  In that case Aldens had you covered..........

Nice coats, but where are the groovy boots???

We get a glimmer of the matching boots here!!

Nice sporty coats!!

Ahh, here are the groovy 70s boots!!

It's a Plaid Plaid World!!

 Oh no, here we go again.  Once more we descend into the plaid madness of the 70s.....

That Is A Lot Of Plaid.  

A don't think that's Colleen.  Whoever it is, she is having a lot of fun with the plaids.

Oh no!!!  Now we are mixing plaids with bodysuits.  Will this plaid madness ever end!!  Well it ends now - at least for this post!!

Random Goodness: 1973 Aldens!!!

 Here are some randomly awesome pics from the Aldens 1973 FW Big Book catalog....

Not much to say about this pic, typical Aldens fair for the time.

Three of teh Big Four: Karen, Kay, and Kathy.

That million dollar smile!!

And finally we snaz things up with some pretty wild plaids!!!

Great Christmas Idea: Bodysuits!!

 Actually it's a Big Idea from Aldens......

So what's the connection to Christmas you ask?? Why these bodysuits are sweater knits! What a Big Idea that is!!

And let's face it, bodysuits are just as a great idea today as in the 70s!!

When Life Was Groovy: Pants!!

Time for some groovy pants from the 70s!!

Starting off with a bit of a Western them with Wrangler jeans.  So if a cowboy is also called a 'poke, the is a cowgirl also called a 'pokette??  Oh never mind.....

Not so Western, more casual from Aldens.

Hmm, I'm not so sure about these pants that Kathy is sporting.  I can't recall ever seeing these in real life!!

Well back to a bit if a Country theme........I guess???  

Okay, this is getting ridiculous. No way you can call that "country looks" and no way you'd wear that in "the big outdoors."

Wendy and Karen in some nice Springtime 70s pants.  Although it looks like they are on some kind of farm, at least they are not claiming that the look is "country." (And what's up with the fish them on Karen's shirt??)

These were "hard to find" and for good reason....

And finally we'll end on an elegant note.  At least what passed for elegance in the JCPenny catalogs from the mid 70s - long, floppy bell bottoms in bright prints.  Somehow I just don't remember seeing anything like this in the discos back then!!!

Aldens Sleepwear!!

 And what better way to get ready for bedtime than some awesome sleepwear form Aldens!!!

Besides the yellow hoodie that Kathy is wearing, you just gotta love the granny cap on the model at the top left.  Not really groovy, but still cool!!

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: Aldens Jeans

And jeans are the MOST Americana clothing item of all time - 70s or not...

And both Kathy and Karen are "Famed Name in JEANS!" for sure!!

That's so 70s: What's The Big Deal???

I have no idea, but back in 1971, Aldens that that there was one...

Tunics, oh my!! I guess that is a pretty big deal I suppose.  All I can say is "That's So 70s"!!!!!

Stretch Knit Shells!!

And kathy i a wig!!!

Spring is here!!

And what better way to celebrate than with polka dots!!

Dazzling!! I mean the polka dots are dazzling.  And you gotta love the hat that Kathy is sporting!  Spring is definitely here!!

Bodysuits!!!

Great bodysuits from JCPenney!

And some more from Penney's!!!

Alden's gets into the bodysuit action with Kay and Karen!!

And now some bodysuits form Eaton's. You can tell it's the French version.  In any language, bodysuits are indeed elegant!!

And finally one from the English version of Eatons.
