I was made for the 60s

For a little while now, I have been enamoured with the 60s. The hairstyles, the clothes. Even though many photographs were still in B&W, everything seemed to colourful, so vibrant. And the place to be in the 60s seems to be London. (Of course, I wouldn’t know whether people who actually lived their twenties/thirties in the 60s would have thought so; hindsight is always 20/20 isn’t it? I need to have more conversations with my dad coz he would have been 20 in 1965 and maybe in Sydney already.

I was highly inspired by the film An Education and my parcel arrived in the post with my new dress bought off ebay (so it’s technically not new, but new for me) so I decided to have a little bit of fun and play dress up.
