Such a classic and tasteful look Astrid....one I have enjoyed wearing on and off over the decades. Handsome felines too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---in-the-wild#post-1471207 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 02:22:44 +0000 cjh 1471207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup, just about 1970. I had a skirt just like that, and turtleneck sweaters in various shades, patterned tights, or fishnet stockings. I loved those sweaters, and the wool and corduroy skirts I made to mix and match. The hot brand in my town was Bobbie Brooks. If you look at old Seventeen magazines, I guarantee you will find Colleen Corby modeling at least one&nbsp;very similar outfit.</p> <p><a href="http://theswinginsixties.tumblr.com/post/25151647735/beauty-cosmetics-fashion-clothes-shopping-health-fitness" rel="nofollow">http://theswinginsixties.tumbl.....ping-healt</a></p> <p>By the time I graduated high school, we were allowed to wear pants, not jeans, but when I started, we wore dresses or skirts, stockings with panty girdles - bare legs not allowed!&nbsp;Pants, corduroys or twill mostly, were only worn to sporting events or weekend activities. Heaven forbid wearing anything flannel or stretchy in public!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---in-the-wild#post-1470658 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 11:21:59 +0000 Astrid 1470658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone!

I'm rather bad at pinpointing styles if they aren't super obvious. Good to know I contributed inadvertently. ;-)</p> <p>Thanks Carter! I do like the look, although I don't think I'll add any turtlenecks to the wardrobe going forward. I love my short hair, but I'm not sure about the turtleneck with it.</p> <p>Thanks Shannon! Yes, I rather like that color pairing too. Kitties are sleeping right now... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---in-the-wild#post-1470167 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 19:19:26 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1470167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This outfit is fantastic Astrid - LOVE the new skirt on you and it pairs beautifully with your plum pullover.</p> <p>Dusty Bottom says "meow" to your sweet kitties </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---in-the-wild#post-1470165 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 19:13:38 +0000 carter 1470165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice!
