chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	I thought I was so hot with my thick white bobbie socks and saddle shoes. Our outfits usually consisted of tight longer skirts worn with English knit sweaters, or our felt poodle skirts....each worn with thoses same bobbie socks and saddle shoes. Super for dancing.

Jeannine Member Registered: 01/03/06 Posts: 195 Loc: Georgia, U.S.	Bobbie socks! I missed that whole craze...and no poodle skirts either! With me, it was the tights...I still remember a pair of tangerine-colored, diamond pattern ones, I used to wear with a tangerine and white, block print mini dress. Uh-huh! That outfit, with white Go-Go boots, the long, ironed-straight hair, and that pale, pale orange flavored lipstick... http://www.intouchwithejeannine.com

During warm weather, I wore knee highs and saddles. Those shoes were the best to wear when roller skating. I never had to worry about my saktes falling off when wearing saddles because they gripped the sole so well.

Pam R. Member Registered: 03/10/06 Posts: 404	I remember wearing those sweaters BACKWARDS! Remember having the buttons in the back and wearing a big pin on the left or right side of the front of the sweater?? Those were the days!

They were a small tight knit that had a sort of sewn strip up each side from breast to shoulder. They were just called English knits. We did wear our cardigans backwards some times however.

Tami Member Registered: 03/23/06 Posts: 55 Loc: Kansas	Dotsie! I'm circa 1958 too! I had to wear saddle shoes, not because I liked them but because I had fat little feet too wide for the adorable patent leather Mary Janes I longed for and had to settle for the saddles because they were the only ones available in EE width. Once I was a teenager I quickly adopted Minnetonka moccasins, without soles and all the glorious fringe...so appropriate for the Levi jeans with the knees torn out I had to sneak in my book bag everyday to change into at high school. Hee-Hee, I was so bad back then!
