Dear Mia,
I thought that this would look like a mod, 60s-ish little dress when I put it together, but… not really. Maybe the neon pink skirt would have been better. Next summer.

I love the mid-finger rings, but I’m always afraid they’re going to fall off. Do you like them? P.S. I’d LOVE to see a close-up shot of that necklace. It looks killer!
Amy Welch says
Love the mod look and I am always a sucker for all black! cute! http://coffeebeansandbobbypins.blogspot.com/

Noelani@MonPetitChouChou says
Oh you definitely achieved the mod look here! And you are making me wish I had gone to IFB, that necklace is killer!!
blackblondeone says
Kind of off topic, but you have beautiful nails! How do you get them to grow so long?
Alex Elizabeth says
Nail hardener! I actually have very weak nails naturally. Essie’s Grow Stronger solves all my problems!
And of course, I’m too lazy to cut them sometimes… so they get very long.
blackblondeone says
No I love long natural nails! I usually use vitamin e but they got so brittle after i did gel nails.
laura says
Oh but I think it looks totally MOD, Alex. I really LOVE the top a lot!
Kimberlee VDW says
Love the rings! It reminds me of Audrey Hepburn than Twiggy ;)
Tinfoil Tiaras says
I think you’ve pulled off Mod quite well, all you need is a sleek chignon and a faux fur stole and you’re set (hmmm maybe I’m confusing the eras!) I adore your rings, they all work so well together!
Alex Elizabeth says
I like the idea of a chignon and faux fur with this! Maybe I can make something up for winter, hmm…
Bravoerunway says
Super cute dress Alex, I do feel the mod 60s vibe! Vest in yesterdays post is reversible and you can also remove the leather panel
Mia says
I’d say this looks a little more flapper than mod, but either way it looks rad! I like how you have the small ring above your knuckle–I have a ring I’d like to try that with, since it’s a mite too wee otherwise.
Alex Elizabeth says
I should have done longer pears and T-straps… maybe next time? If you wear rings only halfway on your finger they will fall off :( I’m always taking them off during the day when I get too busy to fuss with them.
Lyddiegal says
I think you look mod – with the tiers and the pearls and those sunnies – it works.
Ahhh mini skirts and bare arms. The forecast is not looking promising for that to be a possibility again soon.
Alex Elizabeth says
At least it’s not forecast to rain six days straight? That’s something.
I’m still resisting coats.
Lyddiegal says
I know – but frost is. I’m resisting ‘real’ coats.
I wore boots today. I’m weakening.
Alex Elizabeth says
WHAT? FROST? Don’t even… I can’t…
I think I might be hyperventilating. I’m going to wear pants tomorrow.
At least there’s no grass here for me to see the frost on. Otherwise I might go into shock.
Lyddiegal says
yeah, that was pretty much my reaction.
i keep saying i need to move somewhere warmer.
I wish I could wear pants with pumps or flats without socks like in fashion magazines, and on other bloggers. but I know if I do my toes will freeze off. not fair.
