Look up Edie Sedgewick and copy her look. She was Warhol's girlfriend and muse so it would be perfect for the party.

A really really short dress. (Of the photos on the bottom, the one on the left - the others not so much.)   |

With that theme I personally would just stay home. Therefore that evening I would be wearing a pair of comfy pj's.

Short, straight-ish dress and go-go boots. Or if you can find something with a Warhol print on it, that would be cool too.
ETA: I forgot to say exaggerated eye make-up as well.

Mods are a 1960's British thing. It is a specific look. Mini skirts, tight suits for men. Scooters were a big part of the Mods life. I don't know how to do a link, but google Mods fashion images and you'll get some good ideas. Another good thing to Google is Quadrophenia, this film epitomised the Mod culture.

I think it sounds like fun! Too bad you can't take pics of everyone there, annabella, and show us what people wear, should be interesting  |

Definitely white go-go boots.
And I have to say that the eye makeup on that first gal in the pink dress is just horrifying. Did women really wear eye makeup like that? Yuck. |

Ha ha! That was my first thought as well!  I had to look twice to make sure it was really Annabella.

You definitely have to post pictures of what you wear. I hope it's a fun party.

I found this dress, seems artsy. What color earrings would you wear with it? White, blue, neon yellow or green?  |

Post by workingclassdog on Aug 14, 2014 15:02:20 GMT
I would normally never say Neon yellow.. but I think that would pop with that dress.. (cute dress!)

I immediately pictured a shift dress with color blocking.

I'll be honest, that dress is a bit too fitted and long for the look you're after, and the pattern isn't quite there. But if you're wedded to it, I'd recommend big, white, plastic earrings. Maybe circles.

I agree about the white go-go boots. Check out the last 2 seasons of Mad Men - they have some fabulous costumes relevant to that time period. Geometrics, bright colors. |

Heavy black liner, very pale lips, sleek hair, short shift dress. Think Mary Quant and the swinging sixties in London.

Maybe circles. I agree. It doesn't strike me as Mod at all. It needs to be about four inches shorter, and not fitted. Did you already order it? |

Very cute dress. I like the idea of a theme party too. I think it would be fun to dress like something else for a night! |
