Ooh, and a tube thing that I wore over my head when in the convertible...actually, probably the precursor to the Buff!

I wonder if I could wear that. Those are some tiny women and they have just a little fabric left on some of those ties.... I'm not that tiny. I wonder if it would fit around me.
It looks very cool, though, that's for sure (cool temperature wise and cool style wise).
I remember Units, too. I LOVED those things. Of course, I wore leg warmers in the summer, rolled up my jeans, and wore two pair of socks at a time, so I guess my fashion sense in the 80's could be considered questionable...

I actually found the video informative. I confirm I have worn skirt-scarves to management meetings with heeled shoes and pantyhose, top and dress jacket. It works for me. I wear pantyhose, otherwise it will look too beach-like strange/wierd in the boardroom.
And for cyclists...your toned legs can hold up well in such attire.

I like sundresses. Seems like we had this conversation before.

True, I forgot about them 15 yrs. ago..shortly after I took up cycling again. I sewed my own sundresses and still have them somewhere. Part of my bohemian-flower child look...which have forgotten /abandoned.
Am just presenting options that are cheaper if one wants to return to "sundresses".My Personal blog on cycling & other favourite passions.

Mother is quite the seamstress and made me a complete set of Units. I thought the concept was pretty neat. Originally Posted by Tuckervill
