Greetings on Hump Day Speakies:
Wild night in Florida yesterday, thunderstorms, lightening and tornadoes made for a fun evening, some areas are still recovering from the storms. I’m sure the weather here was seen across the US on the news or the Weather Channel. It is cloudy right now windy and looking like more rain; at least it’s not snow.
I had a chuckle this morning from a comment made by a co-worker yesterday. We are doing a collection for Cancer at work and there are coupons available for purchase for dress down day with the money going to Cancer research. Dress down usually means sport shirt and jeans, but my friend said what if his dress down was a Hawaiian shirt and shorts which brought a laugh from both of us. This got the old JoeyZ’s brain thinking of the fashion stuff I wore growing up and I’m sure if you are my age (and I’m not ancient) this might bring some memories back for you. Let’s bring back the good old days of fashion from being a kid to a teenager:
White tee shirt with a pocket and blue jeans the stiff ones.
A Davy Crockett tee shirt, come on you had one.
Ked’s sneakers either white or black and they only cost around $5.00 then.
Desert boots.
Madras shorts with penny loafers and no socks, worn with a button down shirt on the outside.
Dobie Gillis shirt that’s the shirt with ¾ sleeves (catch an old Dobie Gillis TV show and you’ll see it worn by the Dobie himself).
Stadium coats for the winter they had the toggle buttons. Mine was navy blue with a zipper at both ends so when you sat down just unzip the bottom for more comfort.
Boat neck shirts.
Clam diggers worn by both Guys and Dolls.
Tiki necklaces purchased on the boardwalk at Seaside Heights. These necklaces were made famous by the TV show Adventures in Paradise with Gardner McKay.
Nehru jackets.
Sport coats with no collars. My cousin Tom had a beige or gold colored one it looked sharp on him.
Sharkskin suits with fence climber shoes. Your shoes had to have cleats and Cuban heels.
Hi-Boy collared shirts for dress.
Well there you go Speakies some of the fashions I remember and wore. There must be plenty more out there so come on and comment I would like to see both Guys and Dolls but their fashion notes on this post. Have a great day and like always be careful out there.

Mine was the more casual 70s era

Kiss the Florida ground and be glad
you arent up here this winter. I am usually a fan of winter and snow in normal amounts..but it got cold here in early november and has never warmed up..No indian summer, no january that..just cold day after cold day and snow over and over again..cant wait for springtime:)))
Those were fashion things as I was growing up, it was fun remembering them. Your fashion this winter are fur lined parkas, snow boots and to keep warm. Stay dry and warm Mack.
