If you haven't heard about the legendary Woodstock, believe me, you've missed a lot. In 1969 a music festival, organized by a bunch of 20-year-olds, took place in Bethel, New York in a cow pasture owned by a farmer Max Yasgur. The organizers had anticipated for the crowd to be around 200.000 people, but the lineup of the most iconic bands of the time such as Grateful Dead, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Joe Cocker have more than doubled the number of attendees to around 500.000. The Woodstock festival ran out of food the first day, the traffic was like hell, drugs were flowing free, and still, there were no violent incidents registered. All in all, it was the most iconic and the most peaceful music festival ever.
The legendary festival with it's half a million attendees illustrates the era perfectly — the groovy vibes, peaceful mindset, and of course, the 60s fashion. This time, hippie girls are what we will cover in our Woodstock pictures compilation.
The key details in the hippie fashion were free and flowy dresses, knee boots, anything native American themed, Indian patterns and everything that associated with being open and peaceful, often showing quite a lot of skin. After all, the hippie movement declared free love for all!

I had a pair of those lace up boots in grade school! And yes, it probably was about 1969. Psychedelic flowers and tie dyes were common, choker necklaces, and fringe on everything. Good times!

People these days sure scrutinise the human body as if God makes mistakes. Then they spend deplorable amounts of money to change it.

My sister had this orange bag in 1972. I found one on Etsy and bought it for her for her upcoming 60th birthday. I'm going to pack it full of memorabilia.

Is it sad that the first thing I noticed was how thin everyone was back then, and today people are on average about 50lbs heavier?
They were on A LOT of drugs.
your SO wrong. No McDonalds, No pizza and No Coca Cola, thats why.
No, you're wrong, Ole. Those things certainly existed back then in America. People just didn't eat it every day. Most mothers still stayed home and cooked for their families. And kids played outside, running wild, not sitting on their asses exercising only their fingers on their phones or game boxes.
