Roaring Twenties


We had skits in class today about the 1920s, and I was supposed to be the movie star Mary Pickford at a movie premiere. Obviously this outfit isn't entirely accurate, but I just wanted an excuse to dress up as a flapper. People actually liked this outfit and did not think I was a crazy costume person, so yay me!


Sequin dress from Charlotte Russe. Sweater Ann Taylor. Lipstick Ulta Color in Very Very Cherry. Fake pearls my own.


The 1920s was a time of prosperity, dancing, drinking, lipstick and behaving badly. It was also covering up a number of problems that would surface during the Great Depression. Not too different from out situation now huh?
