Random Goodness: Shirts, Skirts, and Assorted Miscellany - Part 4!

Summer is the time for dressing down.  And nothing was better in the 70s than shirts, skirts, and assorted miscellany!!

And why not start out with a series of small pics form Spiegel!
Kathy in a peach skirt and a mod 70s, psychedelic shirt.  Groovy baby!!

Shelley continues the trend wit ha more conservative approach.  You gotta love those knee high stockings!!
Donna in what they say is a naval insignia, but I'm not sure about that!

Finally Kathy doing what she did best - looking cute!!

Okay that was certainly fun, but let's get back to the regular size catalog pics....
Kay, Colleen and gulp Mick Lindberg in a halter.  Oh boy, don't EVEN get me started on those!! (1)

Too late......
Tank tops and halters were all the same to me.  They made the summer heat hotter!!

Kay and Colleen are back in tank tops this time! (1)

Okay this is getting ridiculous.  Kathy smolders in a yellow tank top sorta-kinda shirt.  I guess this falls into the "assorted miscellany" category.

Wow! A whole lot of random goodness 70s style going on here. (2)

You know the old saying "She could wear a sack and still look good."  Well that was put to the test here with Kathy sporting a "shirt-jac."  And yep, she still looks great!!

Here we got a little of everything  shirts, skirts and....halters.  Yep there're back in the mix! (2)

Which leads us to.....
Why not finish this post with a final small pic of Kathy and Karen in halters.  Seems to me to be a good way to "tie" this one up.  And no, I don't get the "Many Petite and Tall Jrs." title.  They appear to be about the same height to me!!

That's So 70s: Deminy Daze - Part 4

Denim.  Nothing says timeless American fashion like denim!!  And it was no different in the 70s Big Book catalogs!!

Tee shirts with denim - a classic American combination.   Even Spiegel couldn't resist the denims.  Of course they had to add that special 70s "twist" consisting of a rope belt and scarf as shown here by Barbara, Kathy and Donna.

Karen and Kay get in on the denim action from JCPenney.  Except Kay isn't so denimy as she is "smocky" or something.
Denim came in all shapes and styles like here with a hoodie vest worn by Kathy.

That deserves a closeup.....
Kathy isn't an 8!  If anyone rated a 10, it was her.  Oh wait, I guess that is not what the number here means...

Liek I said,denim came in all shapes and gulp sorta Daisy Dukes and tube top by Jane.  All I can say is "That's so 70s and that's sooo hot!!"

The "Look Back".  A classic pose by a classy lady combined for one of the all great pics from the Sears Big Books of the 70s!!  And in "brushed denim" no less!!  I'm definitely in a "deminy daze" now!!

So denim can worn in any style??
Uggg, not with leisure suits!!!  I think we just hit the limit of denim's versatility!1
