Modern Flapper


I'm pretty much obsessed with the 1920s. More than that, I wanttobe a flapper...or at least look like one.
The twenties were a revolutionary time in many ways, but particularly in fashion. Such modesties as covering one's ears and knees were disreguarded by the party-focused generation. Stockings where rolled down, corsetts where thrown out for loose, low waists, and hem-lines became shorter. Not to mention, hair was bobbed and decorated with glistening fascinators.
Fortunately, several current designs have been inspired by this iconic generation. Here's a modern take on the flapper look... just throw in a pair of tights!
The fascinator and shoes are from Urban Outfitters, and the dress is from ModCloth

  1. Oh I agree! The 20s were so fashionable! I've always wanted to dress up as a flapper for Halloween, but have never quite had the chance... Maybe that'll change this year ;)
