Henrietta Bolton: The School Nurse - 1965

Since I'm building more lore for Lidia's friends, here's Henrietta —or Etta for short, but only if you're in her Rolodex— who was first mentioned in this post in case you missed it. As busy as she may be as a community organizer, believe it or not, Etta does still have a day job. She works at the nearby elementary school as their nurse, but between the occasional scrapped knees, noes bleeds, and keeping tabs on her supplies, she does get a lot of downtime during school hours. Just don't let the administrators know that she fills that time planning protests and sit-ins, all while the kid that just tossed his cookies during lunch takes a nap while waiting for his mom to come pick him up.

🇬🇧 SWINGING SIXTIES

"Groovy, mod, colorful." (This song was legit stuck in my head the entire time I was creating these models.)

Unexpectedly, a 1960's-inspired lookbook! This one was something of a passion project. ( ‾́ ◡ ‾́ )

My main inspiration being this wonderful piece of artwork! You can see that for the "Cosmo-Corps Style" and "Psychedelic" outfits I had to get creative. ( ╥ω╥ )

For the Cosmo-Corps look I took inspo from this photo instead of following the artwork. (And yes I know the Psychedelic Sim sticks out like a sore thumb but shhh she's beautiful, let her have her anachronistic fun in the 60's.) As per usual, CC used on each look will be listed down below!

Mod/Mini Outfit: Hairstyle and Earrings, Dress, Nails (Base Game), Leggings (Get To Work), Pumps

Cosmo-Corps Outfit: Hat, Bob Cut, Earrings, Sunglasses, Dress, Turtleneck Accessory (TSR), Nails, Leggings (Jungle Adventure), Shoes

Bohemian-Chic Outfit: Hair (Base Game), Necklace, Dress, Bangles, Nails, Pumps

Psychedelic Outfit: Hair, Earrings (Base Game), Glasses On Head, (Simsdom), Choker (A recolor of Loverett's Double Choker by SappyLemonTree, but I can't seem to track down the original post, and their blog is no longer up? TwT) , Dress, Bangles and Bracelets, Mismatched Nails, Socks, Go-Go Boots

Poses: @helgatisha

Thanks to all the wonderful CC creators!

Wedding Bells CAS Challenge

Day 5: Beach 1960s

Marked by a radical social change, along with the beginning of wanting to look different from the norm, there was nothing that inspired me for a beach wedding than the fashion of the 60s.

Miniskirt, informality, individualism, artistic nature, this is what I wanted for Jeanne and Claudius, which is very funny to see him with long hair and sandals.

Kennedy Miller 🌻

I gave her a 1960/70's sort of style as I'm really loving that vibe right now

Starting the Such Colourful Lives Legacy Challenge by @cowberry-jam I've never tried a legacy challenge before so I'm super excited to give this one a try.

The Demir Family

For my 1,000 followers, I thought the first part of my gift would be some historical/decades families with no CC to serve as townies in your decades challenge if you’d like.

The Demirs are a Turkish-American family in the 1960s. The family consists of Ilkay, Leyla, and their two children Baran and Asya.

No CC but several game packs were used. (If you don’t have the used packs, the Sims will still be available, just not with all the outfits.)

Paley Hair

I've been working on this one for a while but i've also been extremely busy with my day job so yesterday i sat on my computer and forced myself to finish a couple of my WIP's . This hair is inspired by Babe Paley, the 60's NY socialite that American Writer Truman Capote worshiped and described as "Pure Perfection" (Yes, i saw FEUD: Capote vs The Swans... It was ok)

I can absolutely see Babe dining at La Côte Basque with her HUGE hair siping cocktails with her ladies who lunch every Tuesday Afternoon. Now you can put this on your snobby country club ladies and spend whole hairspray cans on them while doing so.

PS: On the Cover: Vita Alto Rocking this stunning Hair

Comes in all 24 EA Colors

BG Compatible

It's NOT Hat Compatible, after all who want to cover all this delicious hair with a hat. However you can use Hats and accesories that don't cover the entire hair :)

I've been loving all the outfits Margot Robbie has been wearing during the recent Barbie movie promo tour, so I wanted to create a Barbie lookbook with a late 50s/early 60s influence.

I've previously made a couple of Barbiecore lookbooks that are more 80s/90s inspired, you can find them here and here.

Lidia's Formal Wear OoTD- 1965

Was messing around, trying to give Lidia some formal outfits, and realized that I accidentally gave her Audrey Hepburn vibes with this one, but it works with the timeline so... I'm not mad.

"I was pretending that I did not speak their language; on the moon we spoke a soft, liquid tongue, and sang in the starlight, looking down on the dead dried world." (We Have Always Lived In The Castle – Shirley Jackson, 1962)

the 1960s were also known as the swingin' sixties, and that name could not be more appropriate. while some other decades had moved towards comfort, the 1960's truly embraced it. some of the youth simply threw on a tunic and stepped into some pants and walked out the door! the popularity of television broadcasted different styles and trends across the country and the world. new materials like acrylics and polyesters were cheap to produce and to buy, and made fashion more accessible than it ever had been. the swingin' sixties brought the youth miniskirts, striped sweaters, the boxy "mod" look, and the bright, fun makeup associated with famous artists like twiggy. some older women tended towards the skirt + suit jacket combination worn by first lady jackie kennedy, but the comfort of the youth was appealing to all ages. beatnik fashion was also popular, with trim black trousers and dark sweaters. in 1964, hairspray was the most popular beauty product on the market – and it showed in the elaborate updos of the era. as the decade drew to a close, the "hippie" style was a popular look among the youth, with loose fitting tops and baggy pants, as well as maxi skirts. many of the hippies incorporated crafts into their fashion, with patchwork and beadings becoming popular.

this is only a very brief summary – the trends and influences of the 1960s are vast and complex, just as the 1960s themselves were. the social revolutions mirrored the revolutions in fashion, and i could write essays about it. but i am tired and i moved in today.

1960s Daisy Collection - BGC

I was scrolling through my Pinterest feed and came across a Sears catalog page from 1968. The bright pink outfits with daisy appliques caught my eye and reminded me of a Melody dress. Needless to say, these items jumped high up on my to-do list.

Everything is in a selection from @needleworkreve's Primary palette. All outfits are full body. The blouse overlay can be found under right wrist.

Radziwill Hair

On the Cover Nancy Landgraab. April 1965

This hair is also part of my "1960's Ladies who lunch at the country club" I wanted to make a Big ASS Bouffant Hair since forever but i had a couple of technical issues that i had to fix first and thank god i took a little more of time on this one because it needed. Just like the Paley Hair this one is inspired by another of Truman Capote's Swans Lee Radziwill
