Boot cut Levis and "western" style shirts. Or worse. With round John Lennon "granny glasses."

What do I remember most? The closest I could find in a google search was tube-tops like this:

My girlfriend had one "burnt orange" and one "lime green" tube top. For more formal occasions she also wore "peasant blouses," "granny dresses," and round glasses.

The funniest thing about the time was the gym shorts we wore, men and women. They were tiny.
