Vintage Fashion Mix - Flapper Era Touches
I really need to watch something else besides TMC. I've been watching silent and just barely talking talkies, with some of the worst editing I have ever seen, and as a result, I have a new obsession with anything flapper or jazzy. I'm sure Miss Kristopher Dukes is thrilled to know a mid century convert.
Unfortunately, as a vintage shopper and seller, it is damn near impossible to find 1920s garments that are in wearable condition. If I were lucky enough to find a piece that isn't shattered or missing a ton of beading, I'd be to afraid to wear it. All it takes is one clumsy guy to spill his cocktail, and that's it! Ruined. Maybe I'm overly cautious.
But if you're like me and you can't shake the flapper cravings, I found some great vintage and reproduction accessories that will give you a bit of tartness for your modern wardrobe. No go forth and listen to jazz, drink, talk about sex, wear too much rouge and drive an automobile and show the world how liberated you are!

gosh i saw that picture on the sartorialist's blog a little while ago and totally fell in love. i've been planning all sorts of events that i can bring my paper umbrella with but i think i'll never look as elegant! i'd have to add some studded belt to make it "me"! hahaha

Love the art deco bracelet. And the pink leopard background on the blog!

Hi Gilda!
I think you should sport the umbrella with the studded belt. Tap into that tough girlie look. I love contrasts. I know so many tattooed, rockabilly type girls that wear the prettiest dresses and their tattoos are like accessories.
