groovy 70's

Basically, the 70's were the real groove and disco fever season. The fashion was brought over from the late 60's, or the hippies, and into the 70's. Surfing was also a big fashion sense in this time as well. The 70's had mostly bell bottoms and weird print for the shirts. The shoes were either platforms or some kind of heel that would make women 5 inches taller then normal height, I'm guessing the women were short in this time. Dresses and skirts came in 3 lengths. Traditional mini, new midi (landed between the knee and the ankle) and the maxi (reached the floor). Maxi skirts and long ‘granny’ dresses were popular with formal events. Granny dresses were often paired with chokers w/cameos for the Victorian look which was popular. In the late 70's, there were jumpsuits, one-piece outfits that were zipped up the front and worn with a wide belt. Tube tops also came in the late 70's and were a big hit. Some of the accessories were shark tooth necklaces, hello kitty, Winnie the Pooh, and skinny belts. A lot of the hair styles were afros, crimped hair, long-hippy hair and a stack perm (disco hair). I personally like how the 70's looked, but I didn't like all that groovy, weird stuff. I actually didn't know that I had some 70's stuff hidden in my closet. I also didn't know that hello kitty was a big thing back then as well. I lovee hello kitty and she's my favorite cat when I was a young girl. All that disco dancing thing, is just weird for me to look at. The people back then danced too much, but they did have great bodies compared to today's society. When I hear '70's', I think of Austin Powers again and a huge disco dancing place with flashy lights and some lady with an afro dancing like she doesn't care. No offense. PICTUREEEEES!
