The Flapper Trend is HUGE Right now, thanks to the fabulous costume design in the recently released movie "The Great Gatsby". In my previous post 1920's Glamor I showed some over the top 20's inspired outfits and with everyone rushing to indulge in the glamor of the 1920's, I thought I'd do a posting on how to pull of the look without looking like you're in costume, and without buying tons to expensive pieces, which you probably won't wear very often.
- Having 1-2 pieces with a 20's feel is PLENTY in one outfit. They will give you the look without going over the top, plus you can wear them again and again, even when the trend has run it's course re: string of pearls and art deco print clutch
- Gold will add to the elegance, but use sparinly, especially in the day time. Shoes and pops of jewellery are perfect
- It's the sillouhette that makes the flapper, go for something loose with a dropped waist - this dress has beading, so you really get the feel, but with the right sillouhette, you can still get the look in a more casual way
- Tights are always a fun and cheap way to add something special to an outfit, especially these girly ones with the lace at the top (even if it's just you that sees it)
So go out and indulge in the Over-The-Top-20's-Look!
