Day 24: The Green Space Age MOD Dress

Hey! Has anybody out there seen any dresses like these online? I am totally looking for more cute silk shantung, or space-age, mod, Jackie O', party dresses. They're so adorable, and really quite easy year-round cocktail dresses. Speaking of which, I'm off to an early afternoon Christmas soiree, but had to share this amazing dress that I picked up on Etsy. The shop owner was a pleasure to do business with and was so patient with all of my sizing questions, I just had to give her shop a shout out!

Dress: Metric Mod on Etsy
Coat: Empire Vintage

Day 22: Strolling San Francisco in MOD!

Taking a quick walk through Laurel Heights, I had to snap up a few quick photos of my totally MOD outfit! I just got this navy and red, color-block, scooter dress after totally being inspired by this fabulous two-piece from Bombshell Bettie's Vintage, which was just a little too small for me. Since I wanted to re-create a two-piece look, I thought that this 60's winter coat was the perfect piece to compliment the pop of color and the "British Invasion" vibe.

Coat: Vintage 1960's

Day 2: Mod Dress, Modern Jacket

Today I woke up craving some 1960's rock n' roll! Honestly, sometimes I think a little musical accompaniment in the morning is just what I need to help me pick out an outfit. For a splash of color I reached for this 1960's navy and red striped jumper dress. It's an American Rags Cie. remake from their vintage department, which, from my understanding simply means that it is a vintage find that has been restored or transformed. I'm already sucker for 1960's and 1970's era vintage, but when I find something with a mod, or 'British Invasion' look to it, I go bananas! I wish I'd caught a photo of it's jumper-style front, so adorable!  I suppose I never mentioned it in the last post, but one of my New Year's blog resolutions is to do at least one consecutive 30 days/30 outfits post session. I just couldn't wait until the new year to get started, though, especially with so many holiday party outfits planned! Hope you enjoy this brief tour of my wardrobe.

By the way, yesterday's outfit wore like a dream. I underestimated how easy the sleeveless cape would make shopping; it was way easier than wearing a coat. My only tip to cape wearers this season would be this: Make sure you wear the kind of purse that you can sling across your body underneath the cape, otherwise wearing/holding a purse is just awkward.
