One year for Christmas I received this black leather fringed/beaded coat. It was amazing. It was made by a woman in Winnebago. I still remember going to her very small home and getting measured for it...and it still was too big for me! I loved wearing that fringe coat, and how it felt when I moved..the fringes and beads moving with me. I wish I still had it, but I gave it go a cousin of mine and her dog had an accident on it. My hair is longer than it appears in this picture...I also had "hot rollers" and did a curl job on my hair that really curled it a lot. Of course I am wearing denim fringed bell bottom jean..the most comfortable in the world!Monday, December 27, 2010

Heeheheee... I would have KILLED to have a jacket like that! Mostly, I would see guys wearing one like that, and if they had long hair--whoooo-hooo... watch out! Yup, I had the bell-bottoms also. Remember how some people would add EXTRA material to the bottoms of the jeans so they really 'belled' out? Rock on, Berny!! (I had hot rollers too.)
ReplyDeleteI remember sewing a band of decorated ribbon that was about an inch wide to the bottom of my jeans. It looked pretty cool. Mostly I liked cutting the "hem" off so that they would fringe out naturally. I wore moccosins a lot, or the short black tennis shoes, or just plain barefoot. Oh yeah, I also had a pair of leather boots with a cinch ring at the ankle to wear while riding along on a motorcyle..haha..go figure.
