Lorda mercy!! T'was my mother who lived in that time, not very successfully I might add.
I came along as a teen in the sixties and noticed how my peers were fighting to make changes.
In 1969 I was sent to Germany (by my grandmother) with my husband for his just-out-of-college job in a woolen suit and wearing white cloves....
But within 4 years I tried (several times) a "textile frei" beach and got a gorgeous all over tan and then soon moved to wearing (quite!) cut-off jeans shorts to the grocery store. Of course, I was actually half the woman in those days that I am now!!
I almost always wear lipstick now because my lips feel dry, but in the 1960s and 70s we paid the price and we should benefit!
