Plaid bell bottoms. I'm pretty sure I had some around that time.

I know I did, and have the pictures to prove it. And the jacket to match. Red, white, and blue plaid head-to-toe on a chubby redhead... maybe not the best choice, Mom.

Oh, the plaid pants. If only my stumpy 70s-era kid body wore them as well as this willowy lady.

A person could go blind looking at family photos of me and my sister, each in loud plaid pants and loud plaid winter coats with giant fuzzy trim on the hoods - four different blinding plaids in one shot! Instagram nostalgia be damned; I think film from that era faded purely in self-defense.

Not gonna lie. I'd wear those now.

I think the whole outfit looks really fashionable and would fit right in with current trends, only problem is that I personally would be an electrostatic mess with all that acryl and polyester...

Yep. Replace all the synthetic with real, and if I saw her walking around downtown today I would look at her and think DAMN, gorgeous woman rocking awesome outfit, respect.

Or, if you are that much into wrapping yourself in synthetics--just wear a big trash bag. Honestly--I am sweating at the mere thought of all that polyester and acrylic.

Yes, this. I remember how itchy that polyester was, my grandmother used to give me DRESSES made out of that awful stuff.

Absolutely right. If I wore all that polyester I would probably manage to electrocute myself!

And where is she now?

The more I look at this ad the more I like it, not only the beautiful model and the stylish clothes, but also the whole low-key stadion set up. The way the picture is angled the background provides not only a colour contrast, but also the graphically interesting lines. It is just a great photo!
