YOUNG PACESETTER DIGS THE CRAZY SCENE
Get the mood of the young pacesetter. She's thrown caution and convention to the winds; she's witty and with it; she's carefree, untrammeled by fuddy duddy fashion rules. She chooses her clothes for fun, she lets them dictate the mood, and it's a mood she throws her whole self into: she wears her clothes with confidence and a high sense of fun. She knows she looks different - and she revels in it. For her life is a bowl of cherries and she doesn't take anything too seriously, least of all herself. She treats her clothes as an extension of her own gay, witty personality. Get in the mood. Get the clothes and let spring fever spill into your life. Slough off your neat, efficient, businesswoman personality as you cover your typewriter. These are the clothes for crazy evenings when you could dance all night, for wild weekends and long, carefree holidays when the world is yours to go mad as a hatter.
