I had a whole collection of hippie outfits back in the day. My mom thought I was gay, but I just liked colorful clothing. Back then, you were straight or you were weird - where "straight" meant "didn't do drugs"... I was proud to be weird!
I got my hippie nickname from the back of an old radio I saw at a garage sale:

This was more of my disco phase, I suppose. I have very fond memories of the young lady who made the flying wings necklace for me! :-) And I still had some kind of eye for color - I didn't notice until a couple of years ago that I'd totally color-coordinated my clothes with the airplane!
