MOD

Twiggy is a fashion icon of the past, but a movement for our future.
We are modern.
She put the MOD in our MODERN fashion trends.

This spring is a time to take a risk.
Dig into the closets of our mothers, aunts, and grandmothers.
Find a whimsical colored dress that is much like a geometric puzzle.
Let the colors challenge your style admirers.
Pair the bright colors with black or white patterns.
It is key to perfecting the MOD in our MODERN world. 

Many stores are modeling fashion trends off of this phenomenon.
In this first photo, I am wearing a Kate Spade color block dress that is paired with black and white polka-dot Keds.

The contrast is risky. But taking a risk is the key to making a statement.
For accessories, I have paired the outfit with turquoise square jewel earrings in order to highlight the small hint of turquoise in the dress.
Kate Spade is branching out and challenging YOU to be whimsically mod.  

In this second photo, MOD pops.

The Vince Camuto sweetheart dress is dominated by black in white, providing a simple backround for jewelry made to pop.
I decked out this dress with a yellow geometric bracelet to highlight the colors of this piece.
I added an edge to this outfit by pairing it with black and white polka-dot keds.
I topped my dress with a bun- blunt bangs and a bun are key to perfecting the Mod. 

Finally, sunglasses are an extraordinary way to improve any style.
Here, I am pictured wearing vintage sunglasses, which I purchased at a boutique called Pangaea. 

For only $12, I could make a fashion statement.

Let’s be MOD. 
Take a risk this spring. 
Take a BLAST FROM THE PAST.
