But, if it weren't for them breaking the rules of fashion, none of us would be able to dress retro without great scorn and possibly loss of our jobs, being put in the asylum, etc.
Before the 60s, everyone knew if you were wearing the wrong year of clothing, and judged you accordingly.
It's one thing to be an eccentric the way we are, and quite another to be ostracized by all of society for not fitting in.
So cut the hippies a little slack - they boldly went forth and wore (gasp) vintage clothing, which no one had done before!!!
Yes, we would be committed if the "fashion" rules of yesterday still were enforced...lol I mean, can you imagine if you had lived in the late '40s and were wearing clothing from the late '20s?!
