70s nerd fashion

This is a photo from my basement, or more correctly my parent's basement, where my room was in the 1970s and again, during grad school, in the 1980s. Note the Yes album on the turntable, the patches on Gerry's jeans, the Tolkien novel in his hand, and most of all, the real reason for posting this - THE WALLPAPER! It looks like a hallucination - but it was real! Never had a hallucination? No need to - just look at this wallpaper.

The theme here is BOOTS, all kinds of boots, boots themselves, people wearing boots, boots in art and media and what have you. Not so much cowboy boots and uggs, I never cared for them, but otherwise… lots of boots.

This preppy style emerged in the 1960’s and was designed by trendy brands such as Lilly Pulitzer. Students at Ivy League schools popularized this trend. Tailored skirt suits, heels, blouses and jewelry were apart of this style. https://www.google.com/search?q=modern+zoot+suit&biw=1280&bih=602&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&sqi=2&ved=0ahUKEwiylujejfTLAhWD2B4KHdmeDiYQ_AUIBigB#tbm=isch&q=preppy+female+fashion+1970%27s&imgrc=o_edEialaVdwFM%3A
