once I formed a look my look was Lois Lane looking suits with the skirt cut and hemmed to a mini skirt - I loved it with a white shirt and tie , or a blazer with a shirt and tie with jeans it was my look because I couldnt afford the mod look suits I loved , and my mom dated a guy dry cleaners and he let her have all the clothes that was stored in the back for years that no one came back dor it filled our basement with racks of clothes and I got to go pick things that fit me that I could alter , the first style per say I had in my life , I wore only hand me downs and school uniforms all my life with the exception of 3 dresses bought for school at for second grade . and a dress for highschool and jeans of course , I got cheap shoes because that is what I could afford so I worked baby sitting to get a good pair of shoes a mod pair of wingtips they were great , suits with vests I loved and looked good in , I even had friends like the look so much they scoured the salvation army and good will for womens suits too . and mens dress shirts and ties , in summer it was Tshirts and jeans shorts and buffalo sandals , we made purses out of old mens lunch boxes and decoupaged mod pictures on them , or pouches made from the bottoms of the long skirts we cut making mini skirts . our jeand soon got a triangle of bright fabric on the sides to become bell bottoms , I would embroidery flowers on jeans too
