I'm with you Army Wife. Here are the fashions from the late 70s...
The disco era was moving into Punk Rock. Talk about a juxtaposition!
Went from Afros/Dorothy Hammil cuts to Feathered bangs (I wore the afro for two years, then tried the feathered bangs that didn't work with curly hair).
Calvin Klein, Jordache and Brittania Jeans – very tight. Sometimes they zipped at the ankles
Painter Pants (reincarnated later as Cargo Pants)
Blue Jean overalls
Jumpsuits
Shiny tops with wide lapels (Qiana knit)
Wrap Dresses (particularly Diane Von Furstenburg)
Gunne Sax Dresses
Gauchos with Dingo Boots (I recall this was reincarnated too)
“Bow” Blouses and Cowl-neck sweaters
Annie Hall-style dresses with big shoulder pads
Bomber Jackets, Down Jackets/Vests
Tall Platforms Cork Shoes, Candies Heels, Dr. Scholl’s
Top Siders and Rugby Shirts on the preppy-types
Crinkled Cloth (my mother always tried to iron out the wrinkles)
Very Big Hoop Earrings and Mood Rings
Pom Pom socks and Tube Socks
Lots of makeup and overly plucked eyebrows
Bonne Bell Lipsmackers in 7-up flavor

Benzgirl, we must have been in the same era and area because this would have been my list as well.
I would add some of the incoming new wave stuff like:
mini skirts in denim
pegged jeans -or so tight legged there were zippers up the legs
Fiorucci designer stuff
Guess Jeans
Van Eli flats in all colors
converse high tops (mine were purple)
and to go out at night - anything shiny or lacy (as Madonna-esque as we dared!!)
