Mary Quant and Flower Power

Oh how Von's theme on JFF this week takes me back.  Back to the days when I was a young mum who wore mini-skirts that were almost micro and flowers in her hair.  How I loved the fashion and eventually had to have the Quant look and have my hair cut in a bob.  No photographs available - I looked like "The Spy Who Came In From the Cold" - not my finest haircut!  We will not go there though, suffice to say I loved the "Swinging Sixties" almost as much as being a "mum" to the most adorable little boy anyone could wish to have (except when you returned downstairs, having put him to bed, only to find him standing there a few minutes later, slippers in hand, dressing gown over his arm and a cute grin on his face as if to say "mummy, I'm here").  Yes, those were the days.

I suspect a lot of readers will not remember those days but will have heard of them.  Mary Quant may be familiar and may not be but she was a very influential Welsh fashion designer taking credit for introducing us to the Mini Skirt and Hot Pants, although two other designers also claim fame for the mini.  I wore the mini - boy oh boy did I wear the mini!

Pop over to JFF and see what Von and Zoe have done - we have all created something very different this week.

I did not know what to do for this theme but in the back of my mind knew I had a stamp with a fairly MQ hairstyle so here it is - very "less is more" this week.

Now where are those photos of me in my minis?
