Outfit Post: Mod Squad

I am definitely more of a 40s/50s girl than a 60s one when it comes to vintage fashion love.  I'm not huge into mod stuff--definitely no mini skirts in my closet, and I prefer more feminine shapes than boxy ones.  But I found this dress while thrifting (in the Halloween section, no less!), and I thought it was a great update on a mod black and white look, super-wearable for everyday--I can just mix up the cardigan or add a belt or colorful tights!

This dress is very prim for me, so I spiced it up with some leopard print--my new favorite thrift find.

outfit details:  leopard cardigan-thrifted, dress-Isaac Mizrahi for Target (thrifted), tights-random, heels-Modern Vintage (thrifted)

It's pretty amazing that an outfit that cost less than $20, head to toe, can make me feel like a million dollars. Of course, my perfected cateye and red lips helped bring out that inner bombshell too.  This would have been a great date night look, but it was actually just what wore to a choral concert with Q and Aurora.  Not too fancy, but an excuse to get dolled up!

It's FRIDAY!!! We are looking forward to a Halloween party in our neighborhood this weekend, with a family costume...so stay tuned for that on Monday!   Have a great weekend!
