Sorry, I forgot for a moment. Your blindness is not an essential part of you, from my perspective. You are a person. Being blind is just a secondary attribute. Of course, it is of great importance to you.
If you cannot remember seeing things from the 1970's (the reality was worse than in That 70's Show, which was affected by fashions of when it was made), I suppose there is still another option for you. If you can find some old clothes from the 1970's, you can feel that much of it is unpleasant to the touch. Polyester was common and fashionable. Of course, you will not see how truly revolting it is, but you can also feel oversized collars and some other features, and try to imagine how they look. Gaudy colors were common, with wild patterns. And not in the cooler, hippy style of the 1960's. ("Cooler" is a relative term; it does not take much to be better than 1970's fashions.)
