BLACK, WHITE, AND MOD ALL OVER

I adore the mod look. Shortened for 'modernist' and defined by sculpted edges. This look originated in London in the late 1950's and reached its peak in the 60's. Want to be a mod girl? Here is what you need: A-line dress, opaque tights, chunky shoes, defined eyes, a chin length hair style (think Posh Spice), and an oh- so funky attitude. These black and white dresses with their geometric shapes are great additions to the mod girl's closet.

I love this simple mod Vanessa Barantes White Column dress $210 at Doree at SOHO.





Go retro in Tibi $375. Tibi can be found at Saks Fifth Avenue at The Summit, Susan G. Matthews in Mountain Brook Village, or Laney's Place at SOHO.






So mod, so affordable! Alice Temperley for Target $49.99.







Tory Burch does Twiggy $295. Tory Burch can be found at Gus Mayer at Colonial Brookwood Village.

Ella Moss striped dress $171. Ella Moss can be found at Lara at Patton Creek or Saks Fifth Avenue at The Summit.





This dress is perfect to pair with opaque tights and turtleneck on cold nights. Sally Tseng Bugsy dress $319. Tseng can be found exclusively at Swank 35223.







Michael Stars black trapeze jersey dress $138. Michael Stars can be found at Emma's at Lee Branch, The Clothes Tree off Acton Road, Private Gallery at The Summit, and Betsy Prince at Colonial Brookwood Village.







A perfect mod dress - Karta $334 at Saks.com.
