Indian blanket ponchos, desert boots, leather head bands, huge bell bottoms, my favorite pair were orange, chamois skirt with leather halter top, then came Danskin disco skirts and tops and the make-up to go with. I didn't see the sense of classic clothing until my later college years. The thing is, I am not embarrassed, I wish I had been more outrageous in my youth.
