Twenties

by Rachael in Images, Links, Style, What to Wear

The 1920s is my favorite decade. I love art deco everything - architecture, jewelry, fonts. I like the cultural output from the 20s - the books, authors, personalities. If it weren't for the rampant racism, it would be the perfect decade.

These outfits are inspired not so much by flapper, Gatsby-movie-costume style, but more by everyday 1920s wear - well, plus a beaded dress.
