Capri pants = pedal pushers

The term I grew up with (my sister wore them a lot) was pedal pushers.

Capris

Except for that particular Kodachrome glow, these could have been taken yesterday, not 53 years ago. I saw a young lady in an almost identical capri pants/no sleeve blouse outfit in the mall last night. Eventually everything comes around again I suppose. Except, let's hope, those alternative pants we saw you and your brother in.

This actually was one of the two things I learned in Gymnastics class (which I hated. Couldn't do cartwheels for the life of me. Or the balance bars.) The other was a backwards somersault.
