A friend of mine who recently got engaged is having a party tomorrow night in Long Beach (wake-up westsiders). It's a 70's theme and I'm without the groovy threads (retrospecifically speaking). Can anyone make a recommendation for shopping ventures tomorrow? I'm not much of a thrift-shopper, so I'm not sure where the goodies might be. Venice?
You could try Le Chic Botique at 6432 Santa Monica Blvd in LA. (323-461-STAR) . Also,
quote:The American Cancer Society's Discovery Shop in Burbank is having" Vintage" sale. Find choice pieces from the '50's, '60's, '70's and new wave 80's by Lanvin, Dior, Burberry, Peter Max, Vera, and more on Saturday 6/19 and Sunday 6/20. 500 N. Victory Blvd. 818.841.2969.
However, if you are on a budget (or need a broader selection of sizes and styles), try Goodwill's, St. Vincent DePaul's, or the Salvation Army.

I would go and try on a variety of things, bringing a fashion-savvy friend along if you can. Other than that, go with what makes you most comfortable. (Now why do I think that might just be the wacky, anyhow? *grin)

That would be Chewbacca on a cheap tee, but I reckon those are hard to find. I'd settle for some flared trousers, a ridiculous collar, a 'fro wig and maybe a medallion for that special sparkle?

A nice 70's touch for guys is to wear your shirt unbuttoned to the navel and then glue a massive piece of fake fur to your chest.
