1973 women's fashions as featured in The Workbasket

Who's excited about hitting the ski slopes this weekend? This gal is!


She was the cardigan-and-dickey cover model nearly 40 years ago (February 1973) for The Workbasket and Home Arts Magazine.

And, actually, she might be the most reasonably dressed woman in the entire issue.

Here's a small gallery of some other outfits that are featured...




And, finally, there's this unspeakable horror.

WHAT.

HAVE.

THEY.

DONE.

TO.

THIS.

MAN????

  2. I think he looks very Nordic. And Mr. Otto has been known to sport a green vest and matching green cap (not knitted, but still...) I think I agree with you! :)

  3. I kind of like the mini-marshmallow scarf. The man's ensemble, however, would have made even Mister Rogers recoil in horror.

    I got your fabulous postcard, and would like to reciprocate, but somehow I don't have your address in my extensive collection of addresses. You could added (safely, I'm assured) to my Postable, https://www.postable.com/postmuse or email my gmail account, which is simply postmuse and the usual stuff afterwards.
