Vintage College Scarf & Party Games
Does anyone out there remember when college scarves were
popular in the 70s?
I found mine from when I attended Jordanhill College in
Glasgow (vintage now?!!). I remember we all wore them,
there was quite a fashion for them for a while.
We wore them with our maxi coats and flared trousers. I had another one in lilac stripes, not a
real college scarf, but I think that's what they were all called in general.
They remind me more of students in the 50s wearing them with
duffle coats, but I suppose this must have been a revival. Love the college emblem. Made from pure wool - had to be hand
washed. Saw lots of folk who had put
them in the washing machine (yes, we had them in those days) and they had gone
a bit out of shape and the colours had run!!!
Party
Games
Are you having a bit of a do in the coming weeks? If so, I thought I'd help you out by
introducing a few fun
party games from the 50s to liven up the dullest of events!
These are from the vintage Citizen Housewife book which I
wrote about ages ago, but I think these are very apt for the season!
Have fun!
Love, Liz
