Evidence of primitive influence appeared in embroi- dered peasant blouses and accessories made of wood, shells, stones, beads, and leather. Laced up Victorian- style and hammered with decorative studs, belts were hard and wide with ornate buckles of slim and soft mac- rames. The furred, fringed, suede and tapestry shoulder bags were usually pouchy and soft. Blue jeans, a casual and comfortable favorite with many, were trimmed with studs in the shapes of stars and eagles, colorful embroidery, and flag emblems. Army boots, denim jackets, and flannel shirts completed the unconventional look. Wide-banded Mickey Mouse and Spiro Agnew wrist- watches were a hit and wire-rimmed glasses were worn most often than nat. Smiley faces appeared on eve- rything including clothing, jewelry, purses, candles, mo- biles, cards, and stationery. Girls generally favored hairstyles that were either long and straight or short in layered shag cuts. For the most part, boys wore their hair long, full sideburns, beards, and mustaches became more commonplace.

While some favored the midi, which varied in lengthfrom just below the knee to just above the ankle, others preferred above-the-knee hem- lines or coordinated pantsuits. Knickers and gauchos ac- cessorized with laced-up suede or leg-hugging stretch boots were also stylish. A considerable number of boys' wardrobes included vividly colored wide ties and wall- paper print shirts, and sweaters with animal designs, hearts, and ships were cr success with boys as well as girls.
