As you know, I love to pick out the odd photo from catalogs, magazines, and ads of the 70s have some good natured fun with it. However, there a number of pics from that era that were, well, rather normal but still worth taking a look see. That's why I started this new category "Random Goodness" to highlight these pics Also, I wanted something with more positive energy to offset the rather negative vibe of the "Random Weirdness" (1) category.
And what can generate more positive energy than shirts, skirts, and assorted miscellany! (and yes I know that they are technically blouses, not shirts, but hey, that's doesn't fit with the alliteration).
Wow, that's a good way to start off this series. I don't know how random it is, but Kathy and friends are certainly bringing the goodness!
Kay and Karen get in on the act in some really snazzy shirts and skirts. They even come with matching sweaters!
Yep, "Fresh and Flippy", that's what I think about when I think of skirts, yeah right. I love the "puffy shirt" look on Kay. Arrrr, matey!
You know, the more I look at this pic, the more it looks like it was taken in a parking lot? I know Aldens was at the low end of the hierarchy of mail order catalogs, but still.
"Where are the shirts or the skirts here?" you ask. Well, the acrylic rib-knit pullovers fall into "assorted miscellany". The cool hat that Kathy is wearing is pretty miscellaneous also. Is she trying to join a motorcycle gang or what?
Something to the right of these ladies must be VERY interesting because they are all looking over there in unison. The ascot on the lady on the left is a nice, if miscellaneous, touch!
Let's end the first post in this category with a really nice pic of Kathy and Kay. You gotta love the weird little collars on Kay's shirt. And yes, Kay is technically not wearing a skirt, but instead some sort of funky pantsuit that looks like a skirt - a little bit of miscellany, and a little bit randomly weird. Perhaps, this category should instead be called "Random Weirdness Lite".

(1) Don't worry, the Random Weirdness category isn't going away. Oh no, no, no! There is plenty of randomly weird stuff yet to explore!
