LONDON DADA 
Well this lady is certainly making a statement, I’m not actually sure what she is trying to say though!
I would perceive her character as being ‘I can wear what i want and i don’t give a damn what anyone else thinks’. Oh to have that kind of attitude, most of us probably care more than we should about how others see us.

I think that’s about right Mrs B.. however the Woodstock hippy era flower power shades throw any attempt at pinning-down a definite fashion statement into the festival mud.
But hang on; she looks about the right age to have been 21 in 1967. Well well who’d have thought it.
