2. Remember when crocheted vests were "in"?

I had a maroon crocheted vest as a teen that was almost tunic length and I always felt very Hippie in it.

... but I usually paired them with gauze tops--which I still wear today (except for that wispy number with spaghetti straps and flowers over the nipples... At this age, the camouflage is way off the mark… 😏

9. Deep purple velour hip hugger, bell bottom pants.

I kept them all these years. Wish they still fit! Oh and I liked to exchange studs with my friends and we’d decorate our jeans with them .

10. As a teen...

It was Levis 501s and Frye boots, they fit like gloves and I lived in them for years. As an adult I have a few favorite things; sheep's fleece lined booties, a big-ish horse blanket vest and light weight denim over shirts that I can wear over tank tops and camisoles.

There's one other garment that I wore in my trucking days that was my favorite and most comfy thing... an Oshkosh girls bib overalls DRESS. I wore it when I was driving and loading/unloading freight by hand. I still have it, the straps and hem are pretty frayed, the hem in the two spots where boxes slid over my thighs and knees as I hefted them onto or off pallets... it was a technique that worked for me.

memories,

19. I kept mine in case...

I had the time and a sewing machine to make a bigger one that I can wear now. Mine was a girls' large, somewhere along the way to now my I finally got hips and a bigger butt so it won't fit. But it's so old that I would have worn it to smithereens.

12. As a teen, it was my yellow Goodyear Racing jacket with patches from Indianapolis 500 and a couple race teams

Wore it everywhere. I was a huge racing fan, but none of my friends were at the time.

17. Thank you very much, MichMan for sharing with use. The jacket sounds great.

13. An old olive drab M-65 army field jacket with the sleeves cut off.

After my parents got divorced and my Dad moved out of the house, I took one of his old field jackets and cut the sleeves off. I wore it all the time. It had a lot of pockets, it looked kind of cool (at least I thought so), was good for layering in the wintertime, and I could wear it in summertime without getting too hot.

It later got a closet friend when I did the same to one of my own army field jackets (woodland camouflage this time). I gave them both away years ago. Good look for a rebellious young guy; ridiculous look for a balding middle-aged guy.

18. HAHAHAHAHHAHHHAH. Thank you so much for sharing with us, Aristus.

14. I did have a real leather fringed jacket......dark brown, loved it. Had it stolen and never found another

in that dark brown color, got a tanish brown colored one, liked it, but it wasn’t my favorite. Oh, and bell bottom jeans. No name brand, just cheap ones, with Frey boots as well.

[debm55]

20. Wow, you had a real fringed jacket. Put that together with the bell bottom jeans and boots. great look. That you -----
