My school wardrobe in 1973

In the fall of 1973, I was a seventh grader. It was a fun year to get school clothes because of all the great colors - rust, brown, orange, etc - and all the great styles - jumpers, tights, bell bottom pants, etc. Actually, I hated the colors, not to mention the hot and scratchy fabrics, but I loved the styles.

See the 1973 Sears catalog and read witty and true comments from James Lileks.
