As well as the mag 'Fabulous' (thank you, Island, for reminding me, that took me back) I also remember Rave mag; I couldn't afford this very often as it was 2/6

I dressed up as 'Bonnie' for the local disco (Bonnie and Clyde).

I looked lovely then, greasy hair and spots :-)

Now I have better skin, no spots and a more expensive hairdd but I'm OLD :-(

Crimplene trousers.... I had a cream pair, which I wore with a lime green top !

Also had a pale blue suit, - skirt and jacket of Crimplene, worn for 'best' when I went away to college.
