Last night I was invited by
Lady Carolyn to dress in one of my favorite decades of fashion, the 1960s, to appear with a couple other gals as a visual aid in one of Lady C's presentations on vintage fashion. I teased my hair, drew on my giant winged eyeliner, and donned the dress of a Modern.

Thank you, England, for Twiggy and the 60s mod look. <3 |
I have never dressed in Mod fashion before. My flavor of '60s leans towards Dior and Jackie O, but I have an appreciation for the broad array of styles and subcultures of this decade. Each of them had their best looks, and their worst.

Another dancing Monkee |
Despite it not really being my bag, baby, I *loved* wearing this vintage go-go dress, made of stretchy polyester, and cut surprisingly modestly. The boots are reproductions and were a trip to wear, being all plastic and tight and non-breathable, but they really made the outfit iconic.

I don't really smoke (ew!) but it seemed like the thing to be holding |

thanks so much!
DeleteHow cute!! I was 13 in 1967, so was able to wear these the first go round. I had white, black and brown go-go boots. I was also lucky enough to be able to visit Carnaby Street in London in 1969. I brought back lots of fun clothes and make up for high school.
ReplyDeleteI bet that was a trip! You lucky girl!
DeleteLove it. That black and white picture of you in the stairs is so perfect, I could be fooled in thinking it is 50 years old!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great compliment, thank you!
DeleteBlue eyeshadow? Very pale lips?
ReplyDeleteHeavy black winged liner and frosty pink lips, indeed :-)
DeleteYou do 60s so well. You look like a young Vanessa Redgrave. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteOh my gosh, I love this! You look great!
ReplyDeleteI think you look amazing, not to mention VERY mod '60s! I love both the mod and the more "put together" looks, so I'm usually happy with anything related to that decade. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI am not the biggest fan of 60s fashion either - but you look so super cute :-)
ReplyDeleteSOOOO FAB!!! LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteThose pictures look like they are pulled right from the 60s!
ReplyDeletelove it. you looked like the real deal, great job on the hair.
