True Fashion

I was just binge watching some tv episodes of the sixties and seventies series: That Girl staring Marlo Thomas . Her wardrobe for the series was the true epitome of fashion to me. If you get a chance take a look! I would wear any of her outfits in today’s time. Great taste!

She was so pretty and her hair and makeup were also perfect. I think its funny when I watch those older programs on how dressed up ladies were just to be at home, gosh I look like a slob at home! Kind of embarrasing!

I am afraid I don't dress like that at home but I have a neighbor who does and her house is impeccably decorated and immaculately clean all the time. If you go over in the morning while she is cooking breakfast (if she asks you), you will find her either in a gown and peignoir or a beautiful caftan, hair coiffed, makeup and cologne on. When she is finished with her housework, she dresses in her gardening clothes, goes out well dressed in jeans and a nice shirt, pulls a few weeds. Once finished, she goes in, showers, changes into something nice. Her husband expects that, she says, but I think she expects it of herself. Although her husband is quite the same, he does vacuum and clean both vehicles, her sedan and his SUV before the sun goes down, rinses them off and puts them in their garage. It is a little over the top for me, but I admire those who do all that and keep the world clean and beautiful.

She was so pretty! Her hair and complexion were gorgeous. My favorite outfit was a white mini slip type party dress she wore. Perfecto!!!!! The series was so well written and produced.

Audrey had style, too! Loved the elegance and simple lines of her wardrobe!

Oh my goodness! She sounds like she loves fashion so much she doesn’t need much of an occasion to use her wardrobe. If I had Marlo’s wardrobe, I’d dress up every day, too. I noticed in several episodes she had baby flare Jean’s and white boots. It would look posh even today!

I was only 11yo when I started watching That Girl. I don't remember much about the fashions she wore but I do remember her false lashes and that big-hair 'flip'

Your neighbor sounds like a neighbor we had in the 1960's. My mother would marvel at the way she could paint a room of her house during then day and look immaculate when her husband came home from work. If I am merely in the same room with an open can of paint it is in my hair.

Yes, they are still there, lol! I love her hair. I’ve been watching it on Peacock for free.

@MagnoliaMs Loved that show and my now 52 year old son was little and got a kick out of the part where she would throw her arms up and ruffle her hair!

It was made public early on that she would not allow AnYONE on the show to wear yellow as she considered it HER color.

MagnoliaMs — Mon, 19 Sep 2022 02:33:32 GMT

Oh! I did not know that! What a fun fact! I am obsessed with it while watching all of the reruns. You know she ended up marrying Phil Donahue, and they are still married . The part where she messes up her hair was so cute.

Re: True Fashion

I watched That Girl faithfully when it first aired and loved it. Yes, Marlo always looked so fashionable and pretty and I loved her character, independent, living at NY, something I would have liked to do. It was a fun show for its time and still enjoyable now.

I also watched her father's show, Make Room for Daddy!!!! I respect and admire both father and daughter for their commitment to St. Jude's children's hospital

@spiderw I loved to watch That Girl for the same reasons as you. Also Mary Tyler Moore and the independant young woman she was.

On Make Room for Daddy, I enjoyed Danny's Uncle Tonoose. They were funny together. Remember him?

WOW, just realized how young I was when I watched these shows and how vividly I remember them. TV was very good back then.
