As a young child during the hippie era, Donna Harlan quickly embraced one of the most popular fashion trends in the nation up until that time: the American cowboy/cowgirl. With television in many baby boomers' homes, the trend spread like wild fire. Many of these cowboys and cowgirls still share that connection from their youth. Writing with a keen sense of human nature, customs, and style from some of the more unique fashion periods of the latter half of the 20th century, Harlan shares humorous stories through a lens filtered by the contents of her closet. From restricting uniforms to liberating miniskirts, canvas shoes to corduroy pants, girls in cowgirl suits to flower children wearing peace signs and fringed vests, she reveals the impact these clothing items had on some of the most impressionable times of her life when clothing was, more than ever before, a means of individual expression. Clothing Memoirs of a Wannabe Cowgirl: Remembrances of Growing Up in the 1960s and '70s is an engaging way to quickly catapult many back to that vibrant, colorful period. Experience your memories of key life events during this changing time or discover some of the unique fashions that were popular at that time.
