What's on your menu for Thursday?

Sorry about the FIL I hope it all turns around.

So sorry about your FIL.

Hope your FIL gets the help he needs and your drive is a safe one.

I loved hot pants and platform sandals. I am short and the hot pants outfits did not need be hemmed. I had a lot of them in materials that I could wear to work or church. They made my legs look long. I lived in the in warm weather back in the 1970's.

Ok, that's adorable!!

oh, that is a look! I know I've heard of hot pants but I don't think I have seen them before. Someone could wear that look today! Did they consider you scandalous wearing that to church back then? I would have love to shock the church ladies, lol.

Older women and my up-tight younger friends did consider it very inappropriate to wear those outfits to church. My son was born in April, 1972 and I have have pictures from his baptism that summer. Both my sister, who is his godmother, and I wore really cute hotpants outfits to church for the ceremony.

The interesting thing about hemlines is that they go up when the economy goes up and get lower when the economy goes down. In the early 80's it was still acceptable to have your hem slightly above your knee. By the recession of the 1990's it was common to see ankle length hems. Trouser suits took away most of that and ended up being the most practical approach to looking professional in almost any situation.
