Thelma Evans: These are the Good Times
If you haven't caught it on Nick at Night, Good Times was a television sitcom that ran
from 1974-1979 and centered around the day-to-day living of an African American family trying to
"get by" while living in the projects of Chicago. The show is most famous for turning Jimi "J.J."
Walker into a household name due to his trademark "Dyn-o-mite!" tagline, but it was sister
Thelma (played by Bern Nadette Stanis) who shined the most on screen and had arguably, the best
style on primetime TV. Alternating between a chic Afro or slicked back bun, her wardrobe consisted
of slinky jersey disco dresses, platform sandals, and high-belted trench coats in stand-out colors.
About The Look
Here is a mid-70's candid shot of Bern Nadette in an outfit we're sure Thelma herself would approve
of. A simple slim fitting turtleneck gets paired with perfectly flared bell-bottom blue jeans and
camel leather boots. Topping the look is a brilliantly hued plaid blanket coat in every shade
of the Crayola box of 7 (and then some).
