JC Penney catalogue from 1977

Those pictures and the commentary were hilarious! I especially liked the couples' outfits; who would do that now!? (Hmmm Posh and Becks?) Classic.

Hysterical.  I had tears streaming down my face... 
I have now dubbed hubby 'Cowboy Chachi'

You mean the same type of yellow smocks that have been in all the high street shops as of late? 
It's just a matter of time before we're all dressing like that again! And I'm already making room for my barrel dining set!

Yes! I've yet to see anyone actually wearing one but I've seen them in the shops. I've noticed that retro patterns are back in. Ew.

Do we have a polyester wearing smiley? 

You may just have to watch your letterbox.

Thank you, Carrie!!! That's awesome! 

Thank you, Carrie!!! That's awesome! 

Glad I could brighten your day.   

LOL this is great XD  Oddly enough, I prefer awful 70s fashion over the bland, boring stuff I see most people wearing (although I've noticed that in more cosmopolitan areas people dress interesting without being gaudy...  the bland fashion is sort of the particular area of NY state I live in...).  Anyways, my absolute favorite is still awful 80s fashion   Actually, I just find the home decorating and clothing styles throughout the 20th century fascinating, since every decade had its own character and stuff.  LOL actually, I can't really explain my fascination/obsession with retro-ness.

I want to wear matching husband-wife outfits.
