Gear and Groovy

Daddy Steve:  My grandmother was quite the seamstress.  She used to have multiple shoe boxes in her closet stuffed with sewing patterns-- Butterick, Simplicity, and McCall's.  I've always loved the illustrations on the pattern envelopes.  They are so evocative of their time. 

 A while back, I came upon this charming pattern illustration:

No doubt these patterns were inspired by the works of 1960s fashion designer Mary Quant.

Such a fun, youthful look; I thought it would be perfect for the girls.  So, I asked Ginny of A Passion For Sasha if she would replicate it, and, as always, she gamely accepted the challenge.  The girls are absolutely thrilled with the results.

Don't they look like models?  Alright girls, strike your best poses!

Of course, it does no good to be all dressed up with no place to go.  The girls figured there was only one logical solution - go shopping!  And what better shopping venue than 1960s London?

Looks like they found some groovy gear!

After all of that running around, the girls admitted to being a bit peckish.  Where exactly would fashionable young girls lunch in 1960s London?  Do our readers have any ideas?  Preferably someplace cheap & cheerful as they've spent most of their money already!
