On the weekend we went to a ball with a Roaring 20s dress theme. I was excited to hear today then, coincidentally, that Roaring 20s fashion is on the way back. I spent way too long looking at dresses on websites before I made this one to wear to the ball.
I wouldn’t mind one bit if these dresses came back into fashion:
I love the kohl-rimmed eyes from back then.
It’s the hairdo that I’m not too fussed about. Those flappers looked gorgeous, but the Marcel or finger waves (call them what you will; doesn’t change how hard they are to do on your own head, how long they take, and how much product is required—my hair looked exactly the same when I woke up the next day—guess that’d be a bonus if the do was in fashion).
Anyway. We do love a dressup; it breaks the ice and provides a talking point.
Besides sitting at the computer googling Roaring 20s, this is what else I worked on last week:
– My corduroy pinafore in a cool new blue
– A belted skirt and bloomer-style shorts
That fashion would suit you, including the hair!

I suppose the dress is ok (cough, cough – sarcasim – really it looks lovely) but it’s the shoes I really love. The perfect blend of sassy and sensible. Ohhh, the comfort that the good old blousey drop waist dress provides … add some bling and it’s party heaven!

It was nice to wear those shoes – they were one of those had-to-have (mostly-because-they’re-red) purchases from long ago that I was never as excited about once I got them home. Same with the bling! I think the bling can stay in the dress-ups but the shoes were so comfortable that I might have to give them another run!

I’m a sucker for red shoes too – I currently have 5 pairs of red shoes in my closet (I have a lot of shoes!!!) Must be the Wizard of Oz Dorothy in me – not that I ever watched that movie or even like it but I just know she wore red sparkly shoes.
