Illinois

…everywhere.

They junior high and much of high school (1963-1969), I got most of my school clothes from Sears. Back then, the quality and workmanship were good, and the styles were attractive. My dad worked for Allstate, so we got a 10% employee discount, which my very frugal mother appreciated.

I can still remember what some of the skirts and sweaters looked like.

And, of course, the Christmas catalog was eagerly awaited, and pored over for hours and hours.
