Mod Muses

86 months ago

The 60’s was the decade that brought us the mini skirt, psychedelic prints and space-age fashion. For this post, I have drawn inspiration from the decade with icons of the time, such as Twiggy, Mary Quant and Nancy Sinatra. This post is also part of a collaboration with fellow Starblogger loz12345, who has a feature with the amazing PiNBALLWiZZARD reflecting 60’s beauty!

Starting with my first outfits, I wanted to use two dresses from the Twiggy doll. Of course, Twiggy is the ultimate pin-up for the 60's mod style, and these dresses do not disappoint. Both inspired by Chloé, the first has a slouchy shape, while the second has a boxier silhouette, as well as a geometric print. 

As the first dress has quite a relaxed fit, I paired it with daisy clips in the hair, and some PVC ankle boots for a slight contrast, but also to link to the space-age trend which was introduced by André Courrèges. With the second look, I only added doorknocker earrings as a smaller statement. I think a white turtleneck could also work well layered underneath. 

With my last outfits, I chose some even brighter pieces! The orange coat is also from the Twiggy doll- I remember when the doll first came out and I was obsessed with this coat, so I couldn’t resist including it in this post! As it’s such a statement piece, I stuck to simpler pieces. Mary-Janes and knee-high socks are staple items for the 60’s mod look, and again the clear PVC bag works perfectly with the space look. 

Carrying on with the space look, for my last outfit I chose this A-line mini dress and go-go boots, which are in this super cool lime green colour! I then added a geometric necklace. A clear PVC raincoat would also work perfectly!
