(112,217 posts)Talk about full-rise briefs--they look like they come up past the navel. The blue set could almost make it, but giraffe prints, canary yellow and the geometric patterns are hideous.

(112,217 posts)The crochet and belted-sweaters makes me wonder WTF were they thinking. Some of the other outfits look like they came from Logan's Run.
Bonobo
(29,257 posts)There is a PART of me (A small part I think) that wishes somehow that we were as unselfconscious there days that we could dress like that...
Or is there any fashion going on now that will once day look this ridiculous?
TexasTowelie
(112,217 posts)fit into that category. And of course anything that Kim Kardashian wears is also fair game.
Bonobo
(29,257 posts)Hopefully there will be a time when it seems simply grotesque to stick a pin through your tongue, nipple or other place.

I actually saw something that looked like that in the famous redlight district of Paris back in 1974. It was in the window of a sex shop and looked like a wetsuit (all black rubber) with a penis. I was in my early 20s at the time, and still a bit shockable.
Brother Buzz
(36,440 posts)Perhaps that same red light window was his inspiration.

I had three pairs of overalls. A white and red pin stripe and a very light weight white cotton which were both great for the summer. Then the standard heavier blue denim.
No need to wear a bra with any of them--just a sleeveless t-shirt So very comfortable.
