When Disco ruled...
Last Saturday I was doing my usual thing; yard saleing. I came across a box full of ladies' magazines all from the same year, 1978. I thumbed through them and was instantly transported back 34 years. Now for those of you who didn't even exist back then, are too young to remember or were merely existing in a haze, here's a short recap: Jimmy Carter was president, gas was .63 a gallon, people were shaking their thangs to
Y.M.C.A,
Stayin' Alive and Gloria Gaynor's,
I Will Survive. Must see T.V. included
The Love Boat,
Three's Company and
Charlie's Angles (the original). Oh yeah, and John Travolta was the sexiest man alive. It was a good year in my opinion. I was young enough to not have any responsibility other than taking out the trash and old enough to pick out my own clothes.
Some of the 'must have' coats of the season were featured the September issue of
Good Housekeeping (then .95). Seriously, I could have been looking at the 2012 issue of any fashion magazine (now ~4.99). I'd pretty much rock any of these coats. I've numbered them from left to right. Which one would you wear this season?
1 ,2, 3
4, 5, 6
7, 8, 9
10 (my favorite), 11, 12
13, 14, 15
16, 17, 18
19, 20, 21
22, 23, 24, 25
What were you up to in 1978?
Do you buy a new winter coat every year?
Hangin' out at the usual spots,
Patti's Not Dead Yest Style and
Monday Mingle.
