Yes the quintessential babe of the late Beat era

Flip hair style

Tight capris

Dark turtleneck

Keds simple white tennnies

My mother basically

Similar looking and same style

Or sleeveless shift boucle dress with gloves

Women were more feminine

That describes my mom as well, but I wasn’t there yet to see it. Just old photos. She had curly hair though, so no flip, more of an Annette Funicello sort of deal. She called those pants “clamdiggers.”

Not a turtleneck - a mock turtleneck made of a kind of knit material that had a short zipper at the back. Those were very popular in the 60s - every woman had them in many colors and they went perfectly with capri pants or straight skirts. And yes, she often wore sleeveless dresses which showed off her dancer’s beautiful arms. All her clothes on that show were Jackie O gorgeous. Beautiful woman.
