If you watched The Secret Life Of The American Teenager – The Rhythm Of Life, you probably couldn’t help but notice a pretty fabulous dress with an 80’s feel. It’s our Scene Aesthetic Mod Dress! In the show, the character Ms. Binks was wearing the dress.

Scene Aesthetic Mod Dresssecret-life-american-teenager-binks-dress

Rock your special event in style! This dress features light boning in the bodice to give you that super sleek look, along with pouffy layers of tulle and polka dots. A fuscia bow gives a pop of color and an updated 80’s feel, and at under $90 you’ll be sure to be the center of attention at your special event.

A few tips to play the uniqueness of this dress up:

Retro Shoes - Polka Dot Heels1. For an alternative 80’s style, or mod retro style, grab a pair of chunky fuscia pumps with an inner platform, or some black polka dot wedges such as our Retro Polka Dot Wedges. These wedges are perfect with this dress because the contrasting polka dots plays off the pattern on the dress, and once again we have a pop of color with the fuscia bow.

2. Add chunky jewelry like a DIY splatter paint cassette tape necklace with big chunky beads, or a couple colorful chunky bracelets and you’ve got an outfit that will grab everyone’s attention.

3. To really play up the alternative style, add a pair of fisnet tights. We love the footless kind, or even the stirrup variety of tights.

Feel free to stop on by and get a good look at Eclectica’s Scene Aesthetic Mod Dress and tell us what you would add to this dress to make it yours.

What is mod style clothing? A lot of you may wonder this as you search the internet for the cute, unique, trendy clothes that wel all so desperately want. And thus, I give you my take on mod clothes.

“Mod” was a 1960’s subculture, or counterculture, just as “punk” style, or the “scene” style. Short for modern, or modernist the term “mod” was usually used to refer to anything popular, fasionable or. you guessed it…modern. This is similar to how nowadays we refer to the terms “emo’s” or “scene kids” for those fashionistas of the alternative style.

Mods were rebellious and went against the grain and the mod style lost it’s appeal when it became commercialized, derived, and fake. The big clothing companies were now trying to make new mod style clothing, thus the allure of individuality was gone. (Mass produced indie clothing should ring a bell here…).

Female mods traditionally dress andgrogynously, with tailored trousers or dress pants, flats, and light makeup. Think twiggy; the light foundation and bold, stunning eyes. Who doesn’t love dark liner and false lashes? The mod clothing style is characterized by bold prints, geometric patterns, and bright colors. Teeny tiny miniskirts, shift dresses, aline skirts, and chuncky patent leather boots are a must have for any mod fashionista.

One of our favorite examples of Mod Style is Lily Aldrin in How I Met Your Mother.

I’m sure you’ve seen these popping up everwhere lately. Every designer imaginable is making bright colored denim if you want to spend $100+.

Citizens Of Humanity Colored Jeans $148+


April77 Colored Denim $145


$100+ for colored jeans seems a bit…ridiculous, and although Urban Outfitters carries some for around $68, it’s still a bit much if you ask me.

TrippNYC makes some awesome colored pants, but at shops around Portland you’re going to be paying around $60 for them, so you might as well go into the nearest Hot Topic and grab a pair for a mear $39, if you are looking for the best price.

TrippNYC $39-$59
