If you're like me, September is filled with memories of being dragged to the mall to try on your new "Back to School" ensembles. My own mother was partial to "Marks and Spencers" or as I referred to it "Corduroy Hell".
On this wonderful occasion let's look at the best outfits 1975 would force you to try on and try on and try on. More after the jump!
Dressing your daughter like an ironing board cover was a brief fad that disappeared with the CB craze.
It's miniature Oscar Goldman and Steve Austin!
That virginity is not going anywhere.
Outfits such as these provided a soft launch to a career in the foodservice industry. Also, I'll never get over the free use of the word "Chubbies" back then.
Happy Back to School!

One of the very nice things about getting sent to parochial school was the school uniform requirements spared us from the well-intentioned humiliations our mothers would have otherwise inflicted. White dress shirt, dark blue trousers, black shoes, no sneakers.
...and boys' hair does NOT reach the shirt collar.
The grade-school girls had it worse. They had to wear those plaid tartan jumpers.
On unrelated note, this Anon is burning with curiosity over the removed comment.
ReplyDeleteThat red "info label" is just begging the whole world to take an obvious shot at its expense.
With that label on the page, the rest is easy.
Fourth picture set, outfit 13 (kid with backhoe on his sweater)...you just KNOW that kid regularly decapitated his sisters Barbies and probably ate crayons and Elmer`s glue in class just to get attention. Looks like a classic lil shit disturber.
ReplyDelete4th photo down, kids 1 and 2 - they look like Jody and Buffy from Family Affair to me (the kids' faces, not their outfits)!
