I checked my yearbook last night because I really thought there was a shot of my friend and I in our Sizzle Dresses that I could scan and share (we were both on the yearbook staff). Alas, they're just regular mini dresses and we're sitting down in the photo, so the effect really isn't the same.

Here's the 23-point dress code for children enrolled in the Gonzalez Independent School District. Students who break these rules will be forced to wear a dark blue jumpsuit for the rest of the day under new rules adopted by the school board. “As I understand it all shirts have to have sleeves and collars, and skirts have to come to a certain spot on the girl’s leg,†Amy Pettus writes to the Gonzales Inquirer. “What happens on Fridays when the cheerleaders show up in the uniforms?†Here's how they explain the new policy on the district's website: Dress code violations: Secondary Campuses (5-12) *Beginning on the first day of school, students will be sent home and parent contact will be made. Students must be escorted by parents and in dress code upon return to school. *After the first day of school, students in dress code violations will be required to wear a jumpsuit provided by GISD. On the following day, students must be escorted by parents and in dress code upon return to school. Parents may bring an acceptable change of clothing to the school. *After three violations with a required jumpsuit, the student dress code will be treated as disruptive behavior and/or defiance of school authority. The campus administrators will use other form of disciplinary action for repeaters in addition to the parent escorting the student and in dress code upon return to school. A student weighs in with an op-ed piece for the local newspaper. "I talked to some of my friends about it, and they said they are not going to obey the dress code just so they can wear the jump suits," Jordan Meredith, the senior class president, tells WOAI-TV.<<<
Originally Posted By Inspector 57 I had many favorite articles of clothing in the 70's... My painter pants. The narrow brown leather belt that -- by design -- wrapped around my waist twice. My translucent plastic belt. The black knit 100%-NOT-natural-fiber ski-type sweater that had a rainbow running from one cuff, up the inside of the sleeve, across the chest, and down to the other cuff. The yellow polyester shirt I wore underneath it. My Calvin Klein jeans. Short shorts with contrast stitching. Clogs. Preppy wool crew-neck sweaters. My absolute favorite outfit was early/mid 70's... A long-sleeved cotton-knit, 2-button-v-neck, wide-collared shirt with a banded bottom. Blue wide-legged, cuffed "dress" pants. And black-and-blue vinyl/leather platform-heeled shoes. Man, I thought that was a hot outfit. Never mind that I was always catching a heel in the cuff of the pants and falling down the stairs.

The last time I moved my brother picked up one of my high school yearbooks - maybe the one from 1978 and commented that Ambercrombie must have stolen a few ideas!! The hair styles aren't much different from my daughter's yearbook from last year.

I'm not familiar with that movie, but if it helps with the visual... I also sported a basketball-sized afro in the 70's.
