Today April 29th ...is Tammi Terrell's birthday......she achieved such great fame in her duets with Marvin Gaye.
When I first saw this dress at an estate sale, I heard Tammi's voice singing with Marvin.....
I was pretty happy to see pics of her in a dress so much like this one....
My neon green dress is sold....but...
Here's the lovely sequin neckline and the cutaway arms.......and I had this very hairdo in 8th grade....
In dark green chiffon...similar style....with Marvin Gaye....
and a full length view....
Terrell's career was interrupted when she collapsed into Gaye's arms as the two performed at an October 14, 1967 concert, with Terrell later being diagnosed with a brain tumor. She had eight unsuccessful operations before succumbing to the brain cancer on March 16, 1970 at the age of 24.
2 of my favorite songs from the 60s....

Daffy
I don't think there is ever a more thrilling sight than bright yellow after a gray and drizzly winter....
If this dress don't make ya go WaZoooo! Baby! you need some caffeine or a better outlook on life! it's a 60s fancy fancy dress...It's fitted, it's floating, it's sparkly....It's Neon Green Yellow!
I picture a saucy redhead with red lips and quite a few freckles...... paired up with black shiny sandals and a matching clutch........
Here's a pair of very shiny black sandals from MetropolisShirts

Oooo Shiny black purse from Vintage Bumble Bee on etsy

Or with a sparkly black clutch like this one from etsy seller VintageDelight374

I think many folks don't want to try wearing vintage because they think all vintage clothes will make them look like a cast member of Happy Days, or Mad Men!
The big secret is.... !!! Pair something a simple vintage accessory....with your mall clothes...... Or pair something vintage, that's kinda Wild! with very simple accessories, that are also vintage, or new.
That way you "break it up"....and you still look very nice, and nifty and not like you're in the cast for the local theater group when you are out lunching with the chicks.
How about this dress on a brunette with a sparkly headband holding back long glossy hair and a big Aurora Borealis rhinestone pin on the shoulder, and matching AB rhinestone clip on earrings. I picture metallic print shoes and a shiny handbag.

Aurora Borealis rhinestones....

this dark and shiny pin is from Tiffany, a seller on etsy


this pair of vintage slides of metallic print with gold metallic are from etsy seller Stardust Vintage Shop

.......and Daffodils from my garden........ I know Spring is still a few days away..... first we must all drink Green Beer.... but here's a little Spring a Ding Ding!
