There's nothing I love more than a fancy dress party. Especially if it means dressing as one of my favourite decades.
I chose to be a 1920's flapper as most of you can tell. It was a pretty good excuse to whip out my black tasseled number given its been in my wardrobe for the past 3/4 years. (Which I purposely bought back then for another fancy dress party...)
I guess you could say I was following my fashion credentials when sourcing the correct styles and accessories for the night. Thankfully it was quite easy! The dress itself was bought from Primark for roughly £24, followed by my peep toe, embellished heels for £12. Dress and heels sorted, I then started to look into potential accessories that would really set it off.
Anyone who know's what the decade involved would know it often involved over-the-top make-up and endless rows of pearls. The pearl necklaces roughly £2-3 from Primark, flower necklace was a gift from my Grandmother! The earrings (which are possibly the heaviest earrings I've worn to date) where bought on sale roughly 2/3 years ago from Topshop! Headband was borrowed from my room-mate Daisy; I personally thought this really set it all off as feather caps etc where one of the idea's.
Make-up wise, I've never worn red lipstick before but figured it was then or never. Borrowed off my other room-mate Nicki, the red lipstick was teamed with blusher and blue eye shadow (both borrowed from one of my closest friends Ily) to set off the Over-the-top look. Eyeliner is my own, bought from Collection 2000 for just over £2! Perfect for me as I'm a big fan of eyeliner pens when it comes to parties.
All in all, I'm starting to wish I could've been an actual Flapper! Just think of the dresses they wore...
