No, I'm not talking about Paul Lynde. I'm talking about those things you actually owned and wore. I know there are always the classic plaids and platforms, but did you actually ever wear a pair of platform shoes? Me neither. I'm really talking about kids'clothes. I did have some (and sometimes many) of these. How about you? (((I realize these are mostly boys' fashins, but that is what I wore. Well, until college anyway 
Feel free to add your tales of gingham plaid, ladies. )))
Some sort of patterned polyester knit turtle neck. In all honesty, I hated these scratchy things, but looking back at my pre-6-years-old photos, my mother apparently liked them... ALOT!
(((Had to grab a PS picture for this one)))When I started to pick out my own clothes, I could never own enough t-shirts with numbers on them. I don't know if it made me feel like an athlete or something, but I loved them. I couldn't find a picture of the ones I used to get with holes throughout. They were almost a fine mesh.
Wallabees or any over-the-ankle suede shoes. I realize these came out in the 60's, but I remember them being the rage in the 70's. I never had the Wallabees brand, but there were plenty of knock-offs at Sears.
Speaking of suede footwear, I think EVERY pair of sneakers I owned from 1976-79 were blue suede with white stripes on the side. And, once again, not being able to afford Adidas, we are back at Sears for their Tracks label.
Now I KNOW you had these- Striped Tube Socks. I used to love to get the ones that came in colors matching NFL teams. As a Cowboys fan, I loved the rare Blue and Gray combo, but I'd acceot the Redskins or Dolphins' colors.
Age-inappropriate Iron-On. OK, maybe you didn't have a pot leaf on your chest when you were 8, but did you ever have a beer logo or some sort of off-color joke that probably should have been reserved someone at least in their teens. I think I won a T at the Jersey shore with the "Keep On Truckin' " guy.
