Your Sixties

Fashions

I was always a bit laid-back on new fashions. So I remember having minis. I had a purple one it was fantastic! And white boots and my hair was always cut short - so I had this purple mini with gold buttons down the front and wore different tops with it because you couldn't afford to really get two minis and it was in Crimpolene which you could wash, hang up and it was dry by next morning. So I wore that skirt out!


If we were dressed up we always had a hat, gloves and a handbag to match and you weren't dressed unless you had that on. That was what was called Sunday best.
