A New, Knitted Suit


Suburban Chicago, Autumn 1968. I'm in the Rec Room, modeling another suit Mom knitted for me. She used turquoise wool for this one. I used to roll up the elastic waistband as a way to shorten the hemline. That's probably why the hem is not even.

Ah, yes, sensible shoes.

We remember them well.

Hello, edutcher! Although the shoes were sensible, I remember that they were very stylish at the time. The "Oxford shoe" look was trendy.

These shoes were burgundy with suede accents.
