Its Blog Tag Wednesday at the eVintage Society!. Fans of the 70s, rejoice!! Last week CBS premiered a new series called SWING TOWN. Set in 1976, the show features 3 couples and their families…..a childless couple with loads of money, toys and an open marriage….a young couple with a teenage boy trying to define their relationship….and a more conservative couple facing a changing world. It also features some fab 70s clothes and music! Lets talk 70s!
1) Show us your favorite 70s piece in your inventory, mens, womens, dress, lingerie…..whatever you LOVE!
Well, I don't exactly Love it, but I think it's a pretty cool print. Maxi Jersey Gown by La Mendola -
2) Define disco wear as YOU see it.
When I was a kid, I was in the 'Disco Sucks' crowd. Now I have a better appreciation of the music, but not so much with the clothing. When I think of Disco, I think of desperate people trying to get into Studio 54, bra-less girls in halter tops, men in platform shoes and polyester pants, blue eyeshadow, cocaine, Liza Minelli, Bianca Jagger etc.
3) What was your favorite look of the 70s? The maxi dress? Bell bottoms? Culottes? Do tell.
Well, I was wearing culottes in the 1970s, but only because I was about 10, and didn't know any better. My aunt had a ton of super tight pants with bell bottoms. She had to put them on when they were still damp and lay on the bed and use a hook to pull up the zipper. She also had a great collection of super high platforms - Mary Janes and a pair of really cool carved wooden ones still stand out in my mind. She drove a Camaro too. I thought she was very cool. If I were an adult in the 70s, I'd probably be wearing gauzey, clingy jersey dresses, with a scarf ties around my head and big sunglasses.
4) Your neighbors invite you to a wild party where there may be disco music. Do you go?
5) Grant Show. Sexy then? Sexy now? No idea?
6) Romantic Gunne Sax Prairie/Renn Queen or Disco Diva? Whats your style?
Choose or die? I guess I would go with the Romantic look because disco is a little too skin-flashy polyester-sweaty for me.

vintage buying is good for the environment, it helps us keep out planet green! Some people think buying used things is unsanitary, but that notion is outdated. If you think about it, once you buy anything it's considered used at that point. A Rolex watch is used once you put it on your wrist. A designer handbag is used the minute you buy it and stash your belongings in it. Same with a new car - once you sign on the dotted line and drive it off the lot it's then considered a used car. Just because something is used does not mean that it's automatically damaged goods. Besides, no one knows where you buy your clothes or handbags, and it's considered chic and trendy right now to buy at thrift stores, so don't be too quick to dismiss the idea of shopping at thrift and second hand stores a try. You just might be surprised at the treasures you'll find.
