London Calling

i'm not sure what it is about the mod style that makes me think spring but i thought on a sunny day like this...it was time for a mod post. i think its the bright colors, sleek shapes and light fabrics that make me happy and geared up from warmer weather.

a little history:
mod was born in London, England in the late 1950's and peaked in the early-to-mid 1960's. the fashion was inspired by people breaking from oppression and restriction and resulted in short short short mini's, minimal makeup, platform heels and your boyfriends trouser pants. mod was sleek and sophisticated and produced fashion icons such as Jean Shrimpton and Twiggy.

yesterday as the sun was shining into our corner of 8th street i decided it was time to bust out the mod. the oranges, yellows, and greens and reds brightened my mood and i hope they do the same for you!
