So you're saying your dad never spoke the language invoked by a hand painted silk tie?

Chaplin .. that is so cool hearing some history of your parents! Did you pick up any languages?

My mom was born and raised in England. During WWII it was her fathers job to ride his bike to a certain area of the coast and look for ships that were being sent by Hitler. She also went to school with children whose families were forced out of their homeland and on the run from Hitler.

I love family history and regret that I didn't ask more questions before my mom passed.

I am loving this thread. Not only the pictures, but the stories that go with them. I will have to poke around in my pictures today.

Naja, when I saw the picture of your mom and dad my first thought was your mom looks a lot like Michelle Phillips.

Vacanick no I am pretty unilingual with English being my main language although I understand French and some Yiddish as well as some German. I just do not speak them well.

Gads, my dh wore a couple of those 'silk' shirts, mostly like the blue one, and the polyester pants! But he had them before we got married, and I tried my best to toss them out afterward.

men were dressed rather scary when i was a small child (when they weren't streaking)

i remember at the time, it was all knew

eta: don't think my dad went for the superfly look though

(though my parents were avid penney's shoppers - mom even worked there a few yrs)

my x had alot of those silky type shirts & he wore them tucked into skin tight bell bottom levis & he wore those guy platfroms too. He is 6'2" bare foot so he was my Giant. Miss the good times - yep, I do. too bad it took me 13 yrs to figure out he was an A$$ hole!

My Dad never wore any of those. Had teachers though who wore similar stuff to the black outfit. I remember wide ties also in the 70's along with big cuffs and wide lapels on shirts. Then disco came in near the end of high school! I hated those clothes!

(or was an unwitting victim of child abuse)

I bet that dress was very cute without the pink sweater. Or maybe it is Christmas morning and that is pajamas and a bathrobe?

LOL thx Juju. yup, it was a Little House on the Prairie inspired night gown (a size or two too big) and a fuzzy robe (probably too small) on a sleepy Christmas morning

I am DYING over the 1975 picture. I told Colossus, who was born in '56, that I was SURE he'd worn at least one of those fashions. He wasn't laughing, but he said "ya, the blue one looks like something I wore."

I am married to a '70's silk shirt freak. Dang, at least he wasn't sporting the pimp-daddy hat. At least that he's admitting.

ETA Colossus made me chime back in to point out he never owned a pair of white fruitboots, much less wore them in a catalogue.

I just read through the past 2 pages. Amazing pictures AND stories. Too many good ones to mention, but YOU know how wonderful these pics are! Keep sharing your stories. Loved hearing about your parents (and you and your hubbies, too, LOL)!!

I remember elephant pants. Refused to wear them. The kids in our school were into the designer jeans for the first time and they had to be sooo tight you had to lie on the floor or bed to do them up. Not me I wore Levi's, but hated them too tight. Northstar, Adidas or Puma runners were all the rage also. Mood rings, mood T-shirts also! Starsky and Hutch T-shirts as well as Farrah Fawcett and also Charlie's Angels also. M*A*S*H also!
