My best friend, Emma, just turned 20 at the end of January and threw a 1920’s themed party to celebrate! I didn’t have a 1920’s flapper dress in the back of my closet so I had to make do with what I did have: red lipstick, pearls, and (my roommate’s) feather headband.
My outfit:
Crop blouse – Urban Outfitters
Vegan leather skirt – Urban Outfitters
Faux thigh highs – Urban Outfitters
Headdress: Courtesy of Angela P. Massey
Pearls: Macy’s
Booties: Asos
Makeup:
Lipstick – Hourglass
Liquid eyeliner – Stila
The goal of this outfit was not to wear strictly 1920’s fashion, but to capture the essence of the decade. With the red lipstick and cateye, I wanted to create a flapper chic look. With my leather skirt, I felt pretty BA, if I do say so myself. But, I femme’d it up with the flowy blouse and pearls (which are also a 1920’s classic). I think the headdress really made the outfit. After all, you can’t have a flapper without a feather!
This was such a fun look to plan and the party was amazing as well! I’ve always loved the 1920’s, and with The Great Gatsby coming out this past year, it was a fun idea. I love theme parties, I think I’ll have to brainstorm for the next 8 months until my 22nd birthday.
