I had a red Nehru jacket, madras shirt, large Taurus neckless, extra wide bell bottom pants, large buckle belt, and 6 inch platform shoes, and dripping with patchouli. I actually went out, in public, dressed like that.

I wore plenty mini kilts throughout junior high and high school. Loved them.
Also wore a lot of Ditto saddleback jeans.

I never wore anything that puffed out in the tummy area, but admired dirndls on other girls.

My mom made most of my clothes growing up and into grade school the full/poofy skirt with crinolines was “the thing”. Yes, that’s me, chubby legs and all, playing on the porch with a neighborhood friend

When I was in first grade around 1969, there was a girl in the class named Julie, who had a pair of crinkly white patent leather gogo boots, and I wanted some so badly. I thought she was so cool that I even wanted to be named ‘Julie’.

We had one that wore white gogo boots AND bright white eye shadow.
Those were the most uncomfortable shoes on the planet so I had two pair in my early twenties before I decided life was too short to wear painful shoes.

I agree! For many decades now I have been a Birkenstocks and flats person, but when I was young, I loved my pretty shoes.

Kalso Earth Shoes have the right idea. I never had a pair, but their shoes, having a Lower heel than the rest of the foot is better for our backs. I can feel this when I'm walking in the woods and my lumbar begins to hurt. If I dig my heels down into the earth, my stance is changed and my back feels better almost immediately.
I don't know why I never bought any!
