This is so funny to me. I remember my mom wearing shoulder pads and red lipstick. Platforms and nylons with seams in the back.

As most style does, in about twenty years, in the 70's, that look came back for a while. Bette Midler was a big deal right then and did a lot to promote it, camp-like.

I bought a suit with a peplum on the jacket, platforms, shoulder pads and I felt like a little girl playing dress-up in my Mom's clothes.

When Mom saw me she asked why I was wearing such out-dated clothing!
