This Week I’m Taking A Break From The Profound

Cuties On The Road – Wordless Wednesday
October 14, 2015
Hi girls! This week we have a full fashion over 40 post. I am sharing a super-cute mod print dress and then, my featured looks from the first My Refined Style linkup. So, make sure to check out these featured fashionistas at the end of the post. Also, this is the last week to enter the Fabulous Fall Giveaway
Mod Print Dress
I am wearing a dress inspired by the Fall 2015 60’s Mod Trend. Of course, we plus-40 women are never slaves to any trend and most of us would agree that most runway looks were never meant to be worn by the average consumer.
But, we can definitely draw inspiration from them. Here is an example of a mod dress from the Valentino Fall 2015 collection. My primary takeaway inspirations are the print and vivid colors.
I am wearing a dress designed by my friend, Kasey Godoy. Kasey and I first met at the gym several years ago. Even though our lives and schedules took us in different directions, I have always kept up with her. A few months ago I discovered that Kasey and some friends had started a dress line, KASH. I love having an opportunity to showcase a budding Filipina designer.
Kasey creates simple sheath dresses that major on vivid colors and patterns. I was immediately drawn to this print shift dress because it evokes the 60’s mod vibe.
Fabulous Fall Giveaway
Apart from the gorgeous color, I like the comfortable cut of the dress because it fit loosely, yet still tapers in at the knee to provide a flattering line. The cut and style of the dress is equally suited for neutral heels or flats.
I followed the patterned motif of the dress by adding a Fossil stainless steel necklace with a similar pattern.
For another look I chose a silver tassle necklace (Jones New York), silver bangles (Brighton) and stainless steel rings (Fossil).
For my friends in the Philippines, Singapore and UAE…check out KASH!

Thanks Dawn, they made it easy for me!
Shellie, love the Mod dress, so very flattering on you and it looks really comfortable…by the way you have the cutest hairstyle! Would love to know how you style your hair.
Hi Susan, Thanks for the lovely complement. In terms of my hair, a volumizer or root lifter is essential. Other than that I don’t use other styling products because they can get too heavy. I blow dry my hair upside down and then finish off with a metal core round brush in the front. If I want a kick in the back, then I will spray on a little styling spray to piece it out…hope that helps 😉
Thanks for linking up to Top of the World Style. I love the color combination!
As an artist I LOVE this post and I NEED that dress! Pattern and pops of color with black and white are my favorite. Thanks for the inspiration for all the accessories too – good to see what other people do so I don’t get stuck in a rut. 🙂 #BlogShareLearn
Hey Tara, color up against black is always a striking contrast.
Wow, that mod inspired dress looks fantastic – I too love the colour & patterned 60s/70s trend that is hitting the stores at the moment and have got a few dresses of that ilk.

You look so beautiful in your “mod” dress, Shellie! Love the pattern and colors! The sheath-style silhouette remains my favorite cut. it always looks chic, yet affords so much comfort. You can’t beat that!
