When those peasant/gypsy skirts were in fashion around 78ish, weren't hacking jackets worn with them too?
I had several Saturday jobs, firstly as a 14year old in a beach cafe and kiosk in a chine near Bournemouth. I earned £2.10 per Saturday. Then I had job in a dry cleaners, but couldn't stand the smell, so left after one day! I also worked in British Home Stores on Saturday in the menswear department, but used to be very shy, and couldn't handle measuring inside legs, so they moved me into the restaurant cooking, which I liked.
I can remember going into Chelsea Girl and buying high-waisted blue trousers and a blue v-neck jumper with stripes at the neck. It had high ribbing at the waist. I wore a silver ring choker with my initial on it. This was with my first wages. I also bought a pale green dress from Van Allen with flared out from the bust with a very large button at the top. Thought I was the bees knees!
