Plus Size Hippie Clothing is Still a Fashion Statement!
I am a plus size hippie. I am interested in all things about peace and love. I was 20 years old in 1968 and I embraced that era of wild colors and wide bottomed pants, and humans claiming the right to express themselves.

Living in the San Francisco Bay Area, there is still sort of an anything goes freedom about how I dress. These palazzo pants are from my closet and are over 25 years old. How is that for shopping your closet?

The jewelry that hippies wore tended to be handmade, but I opted to wear jewelry that means something to me. Each necklace was either a gift, I purchased it while traveling or I made it, i.e. the bronze circle in the middle is an “Affinity Award” necklace that was given to me by the Burning Man Arts Department.

Hippies were known for their love and compassion for others and they embraced everyone regardless of color, faith, or sex and were deeply concerned with ending segregation, which created a revolution.
And here we are in the midst of those very issues once again in 2015.
