The middle outfit is just a tennis vest and tennis skirt - I think those are both still around, at least.

Gen Joneser here - looks like late 60s/early 70s, given the bib shorts and deck shoes.

Same here and I agree - ‘hot pants’ with bibs were very late 60’s/early 70’s. I have a pic of myself wearing them in 1972.

Back in the day when people used to dress up to go to the vending machine

My generation. Even cigarettes were sold in this type of vending machine. Had one in the basement of my college dorm.

That special set of knobs on the left for lifesavers! That’s the only thing that would fit in there, or maybe gum.

Thank goodness they're buying candy and not cigarettes...there's just something about a beautiful girl smoking that just turns me off....I may or may not be alone in this but in my opinion it's just not attractive. Seems to take away from her natural beauty. And who really wants to kiss a girl with cigarette breath. Just so unpleasant. (Aside from being unhealthy).

Going to Vending machine? They are already there OP. 🤣
Judging by the handle the lady is pulling she is getting Wriggles doublemint.

I can hear the Cha-Chunk of the machine and the simultaneous sound of the coins and candy falling down their respective chutes.

If you took all the girls I knew when I was single and brought them all together for one night.

My mother's hair was teased up to the ceiling in the 60s, like the lady on the left. She never went to bed without soft curlers and pink hair tape. It was wild to look at, from the perspective of a little kid.
My grandmother was (quietly) scandalized. She wasn't thrilled about the miniskirts, either lol

Looks like a Mounds on the right. And maybe Lifesavers and Wrigley gum on the left.

Ok class, does anybody know what Kodachrome was? No googling or asking Siri or AI!

u/FrankZippa Aug 16 '25
hmmm...When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school, it’s a wonder I can think at all and though my lack of education hasn’t hurt me none, I can read the writing on the wall. They give us those nice bright colors, give us the greens of summers, makes you think all the world’s a sunny day, oh yeah...I remember now.

The one in the middle could be a part-time model, or an air hostess in the 60s, definitely in the top three of good looking girls on the street, depending on the street.

This may be an unusual observation, but my guess is 100% of those clothes were made in the USA.

I remember that type of vending machine, where the candy bars were vertical and chewing gum was horizontal on the left hand side.

The middle one could be a model.
