Looking online for 70's outfits is probably the easiest way to shop for vintage clothing.  As I've mentioned on this site repeatedly, eBay has a great selection for decent prices.  The woman in this video also mentions hitting Goodwill Stores.  This probably works better for more formal pieces of clothing.  My experience has been that eBay sellers often have the t-shirt racks and sport shirts thoroughly picked over unless you time your visit just right.  It is really a matter of luck at the stores near me because there is no set schedule as to when "new" vintage items will be put out on display.  I have never really looked for platform shoes at Goodwill, but I have seen them occasionally at estate sales.  If you don't have many eBay re-sellers in your area, you might do OK with your visits to local shops.  If you can, find out from workers there if there is a best time to show up and actually find items that are being newly stocked.  More than likely they will reply that new clothes are put out constantly, but it never hurts to ask.  Good Luck!

Here are some vintage polyester items for sale on eBay right now.  I didn't limit these to clothes from the 1970s because I didn't want to filter out too much.  I hope you find something you like!

In this clip, we learn about 1970's jewelry. Personally, my aunt is who comes to mind when I think of this large, ethnic flavored jewelry. It was hard to miss and definitely was not subtle. I hope you like the video.

I was surrounded by disco fashion and people wearing disco outfits back in the 1970's, but I was too young to be taken in by it.  As I mentioned in a previous post, I was still wearing my Sears Tuffskins.  My older sister and her friends though...they'd go and disco the night away. Disco dance clubs were opened and people flocked to them donning the flashy styles of the day.

You didn't really see the most extreme of the disco outfits come out during the light of day too much.  They were, of course, designed to show up in the strobing lights of the dance floor.  Exposed to direct sunlight, who knows what might have happened.  That might explain the Village People.

In truth, as the video below will show, disco fashion did reach out and touch those outside the disco fantasy world.  Business attire changed and I doubt that some of the "business" clothes of that period would cut it today.  Different strokes for different folks though.  I remember my sister taking me to get my first haircut that wasn't at a "regular" barber shop some time in the late 70's or early 80's.  The guy who did the cutting was nice enough, but for all of my memory blocking attempts, I can't forget the shiny shirt unbuttoned half way down his chest and the gold jewelry swinging beneath it.  I left with bangs removed and a brand new "feathered" look.  I have never been so glad that my family didn't take a lot of pictures of me back then.  I know they had good intentions, but MAN!
