turn back time...

it's that time of the year.
annual dinners, where we have to dress up for occasion.
this time however, we are expected to dress like in the 60's and 70's!

groovy baby.

i am sure many people will go all hippie-like. so, i thought i'd do a 'twiggy' instead.


twiggy was more "mod". "mod" is actually short for modern. so, this was considered "mod-ern" in the 60's. it was perceived modern, because before going "mod", everything was about poufy skirts (think Grease) and nipped waist. almost androgyenous, "mod" played with streamlined, straight cut & non-fussed looks. hence, people during that period HAD to by "twiggy-like". :p

so, despite my "lack of twiggy-ness", i am thinking more of shift dresses...mini dresses...cute pumps...tights?
i am not too keen on spending too much on this. so, i DID find something in my closet that COULD pass off as "mod".



any comments?

notice the shoes?
these are the 'infiniti's from Nine West.
RRP at RM369.

hefty. but something i would DEFINITELY wear to work.
Anyway, Isetan is starting their sale this Friday (28/12/08). So, hopefully these will be on sale too.

i will still be walking around looking out for other outfits. thinking of going to topshop, where i always imagine that they would have something "mod". or even mng.

any suggestions?
