Daily Outfit: The Trapeze Dress Goes Mod







Sixties fashion belonged to London, England. And now it's coming back in a big way...have you noticed all the braids, thigh-highs, floppy hats, and geometric patterns that are in the recent trend reports? Who better to lead the way in the Mod fashion trend than British designer Orla Kiely; this dress from one of her previous collections is still such a favorite of mine. Color plays a big role in defining the Mod look, and bright bold patterns are key. Layering my royal purple swing coat on top seemed like the perfect addition! I love that this trapeze dress can be worn loosely or belted for a more waist-defining look. The rest of the details just came together. I was channeling the 60's with braided hair, feather earrings, and bright orange-red lipstick to pop with my dress...but it was too cold for thigh-highs! The final accents were my fab mod inspired ankle boots from Zara (on sale). It's a Mod World!

Oh...yeah...I did up my nails in a houndstooth pattern, black and white seems to work with everything. Check It Out here (pun intended!)
