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....

a Mary Poppins moment--WWMW

Mary Poppins is an acid trip...flying thru the air, feeding children hallucinogenic drugs, and jumping into chalk pictures with bizarre friends.

my ostrich feather duster is so very edwardian in feeling...it made a cameo appearance in the last set of 24 listings for my etsy shop.
let's start with the black...WWMW...What Would Mary Wear?


this of course.....
that Bert is H.O.T.

this sold within 5 minutes of listing.....a black lace all in one.

goes together with wine....red red wine......

Bombshell fitted lbd...
the end of the 50s, and the beginning of the 60s with the lace and the bow on the back....

asymmetry in turquoise satin.......

another sexy granny chic style I love.......
just 'cause she has a doily on her chest..well, don't assume there's no Fire in the Furnace....

I adore this dress...I want it in my size.....

70s black velvet jacket, from Foxmoor, it still has its tags...

this is the Real Mary Poppins....
