If anyone really wants to see what the sixties were like then I can't recommend MadMen too highly (the first series was the best).
The more oppressed women became, the more we accessorised ourselves. My mother would not have been seen out without hat, gloves and matching shoes and bag.
We didn't know about the environment or political incorrectness.

MadMen shows it all and the daughter of the main character even wore the same negligee set that I wore as a ten year old.
It reminds me of happy times, the end of a beautiful innocent era of my life.
