This look took inspiration from Fashion Icon, Twiggy, and one of my favorite actresses, Audrey Hepburn.

The Outfit
A classic shirt dress with the addition of a collar made a simple but effective allusion to the 60s. And yes, you did see that same collar in my 40’s look and my Halloween costume this year!
My makeup in this look was heavily inspired by Twiggy circa 1960s. White liner on the bottom lid, black liner on the top and within the crease, and lots of lashes! I wore one set for this shoot, but the weight of these certainly felt like I was wearing multiple pairs! For hair style, I went with a very long straight wig to channel the “flower power” vibes of the era. And my head scarf accessory detailed with polka dots was a subtle reference to the pop art movement.
I hope you enjoyed my depiction of style during “The Swinging Sixties”.
