Still Swinging Pt 2

This post is part 2 of my previous post on the Mod Trend. 

This dress from the Emilio Pucci Fall 2014 collection is just wonderful.  It's not an outfit I could pull off, but it is eye catching.  Paired with this boots, it seems a wonderful mix of the mod trend and a western feel with the pattern.

Just Cavalli paird this wonderful little number with the giant grommets over what appears to be suede leggings.  I think the grommet touch gives this dress the perfect touch of tough girl chic.

This dress from the Maiyet Fall 2014 collection has a wonderful graphic print that provides a lovely mod touch.  The cut-out allows for a modern touch that brings this look a more updated vibe, so you don't look like you are wearing you grandmothers hand me downs.

Maxime Simoens has created the dress below that is perfect for a goth grunge vibe.  The black colored plaid just speaks volumes to me.

This dress from the Sea Fall 2014 collection reminds me of the evil twin of that perfect little white dress with lace detailing that we all search for in the spring.  It has a very late 60s/early 70s kind of vibe to me, only it appears completely modern in this inky black color.

Still Swinging Pt1

The Swinging Sixties and Sophisticated Punk don't seem like a cohesive mix, however the fashion industry can surprise you sometimes.  I actually found several styles of the mod trend that I could actually contemplate wearing, presuming I had the figure, which I do not.  These particular styles and shapes look better on a more svelte frame, not my curvy one.  My goal with the blog is to show people how they can encorporate the trends into their own style.

This dress from the Gucci Fall 2014 collection has just the right amount of hardware and leather detail not to mention the snakeskin print of the boots.  This is a wonderful little dress for the office.

Tom Ford has gone wild with this print.  The "it" color of the season makes this outfit a show stopper.  Everyone will stop to take notice of this outfit.

Dsquared2 also jumped on the snakeskin bandwagon.  This mini dress in the electric blue color has the right amount of swing for those leggie girls.  For those of us with less that perfect legs or who are a bit more modest might pair with leggings and boots.

For the green number, I recommend this outfit only for the bravest of soles willing to work those legs for all they're worth.  Not to worry the print is universal, so for anyone else, I would recommend the print in a top, jacket or pencil skirt.

Roland Mouret has provided a wonderfully modern take on the geometric looks prevelent in the 60s. This dressed paired with the leather leggings is a sophisticated look that is completely wearable.

J. Mendel's Fall 2014 collection has the two outfits below that create a beautiful 60's silhouette but with a modern twist in the print.  I found both dresses to be visually appealing and could see them paired with some edgy hardware style jewelry for that rock chick vibe.
