I had about 3 pairs of knickers that I wore with either my frilly blouses or with my monagramed sweaters. And you had to wear the knickers with colored stockings and penny loafers. And I think we also wore them with a headband around our heads.

I love wearing knickers. Got several pair in corduroy and tweed too. I pair them with an oxford shirt and flats.

The big fad in my high school in fall of '81, when they were worn in dark corduroys and wools with dark, opaque tights and flat pumps called skimmers, often in metallic bronze. Worn with high-buttoned, ruffle-yoked "prairie blouses" and sweaters.

Definitely worn with argyle (or textured) socks and penny loafers in the fall of '81 and ballet flats (Candie's) in the spring of '82.

I had two pair. One baby blue corduroy, shared with my sister were loved. The other, a birthday gift from my aunt which came with a hoodie were horrible and got me teased mercilessly at school. Being less than adept at putting outfits together I thought the double gray relaxed fit looked good but it missed the mark.

Isn't it horrifying that after 14 years the antisemitic comment remains on this page? I've reported. Will it ever be removed?
