Mod Moment

There are a lot of retro trends popping up for fall, and the Mod look is no exception.  In addition to Peter Pan collars and shift dresses, when one thinks of Mod, one thinks of the poster girl for the style--Twiggy.

Sidenote: I love musicals.  So, naturally, the return of Mod made me think of one of my favorite musicals: Sweet Charity.  One of the best scenes involves Fosse-choreographed dance numbers at a club.  The choreography and costuming are so fabulous, it was the obvious inspiration behind Beyonce's "Get Me Bodied" video.  Watch "The Rich Man's Frug" below:
