The sides stuck out and kind of up, reminding me of Bozo the Clown. Hideous! LOL And then trying to out-do Farrah Fawcett with the Farrah cut. Didn't work real well with my fine, very thin hair :-) <br /><br />I remember maxi dresses, smock tops...the whole bit.

I looked pregnant! Never mind that everyone else did too! A fat kid was very self-conscious about that! I really couldn't believe when they started coming back! But at 53 I feel entirely different about them! I'm pretty certain NO ONE will mistake me for pregnant! :)<br /><br />I did like maxi dresses though! I had a few of them for "special" occassions.<br /><br />I couldn't let myself DO the whole BIG hair thing - even though my hair was PERFECT for it... I was too busy trying to get OVER not being able to do the long straight hair thing!!! You had great BIG hair though!<br /><br />Honestly I think we grew up through some of the worst fashion history EVER!

If you don't like one, you don't have long to wait to try on a new one!<br /><br />Maxi dresses...those were so weird. And we have one photo where my entire family wore the exact same sweater..the men in brown slacks, the women in blue maxi skirts. We looked so square!!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02101345724592651458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172707736566212799.post-22184663613249790632010-04-02T08:58:04.608-05:002010-04-02T08:58:04.608-05:00Linda, what a great fun post.
