1920s: glamorous

glamorous
($92.08, without tax)

sexiness: hot
friendliness: sweetheart
intelligence: c
comfort: heels
fance: party time


here's my 20s look. i call it glamorous because that's what the 20s were: beautiful, fab, and just plain glamorous. i couldn't find much in the way of flapper dresses, but remember: this is inspired by the 20s. it's not exactly what they wore back then. anyway, the color scheme is black and white, because of all the black and white video clips and photos you see from the twenties. it's very lacy and old fashioned, and it puts off the air of an old book. you look at it, and it's mysterious, beautiful, and wonderful. it's a story, and a sexy story at that. enjoy.

Sexy Peep Toe Pumps ($22.50)

Notes from Wet Seal:
This pump is a must have basic! Featuring a solid color with a small peep toe, hidden 1" platform and a 4" heel.
Notes from sweet girl:

i know what you're thinking: they're too fifties. and why are they silver? wtf, they come in black too! anyway. i have explanations for those. if you wore shoes that actually looked like they were from the 20s, you'd look like you were born in the 20s. they make you look old. and remember, we're going for glam, here. not an exact replica of a 1920s flapper. these were the most glamorous ones that fit the look. and about the silver... i just decided that if you wore the black ones you would look emo since the rest of the outfit is black. we need some variety, girls. come on.


Lace Thigh High by Wet Seal ($1.99)

Notes from Wet Seal:
This thigh high tight is a great layering piece for just about any outfit. Featuring a floral lace body with wide lace trim.
Notes from sweet girl:

yes. yes, yes, yes, and yes. these are amazing, and you can't deny it. sexy, glamorous, and amazing. of course, you have to know what to wear them with, but i'm doing that for you, so i guess you don't. and yes, wet seal made some typos on the page for these, so talk to them about it, not me.



Draped Lace Mini Dress by Charlotte Russe ($29.99)

Notes from Charlotte Russe:
Go for a dark romantic look with this Draped Lace Mini Dress featuring a lace inset, scoop neck, deep back scoop, waterfall front with draped sides, shirring details, bubble hem with ruched sides, and an interior lining. Size medium has a shoulder-to-bottom hem length of 33". Hand wash.
Notes from sweet girl:

okay, i love this. when you wear it, you should feel completely sexy and confident. you can do anything in this dress. the lace makes it 20s, and everything about it says glamorous. it's lovable, short, and to the point. i like it a lot.

Beaded Sequin Shawl from Forever 21 ($14.80)

Notes from Forever 21:
Add a glamorous touch to your look with this beautiful mesh shawl bedecked with sequins and beads.
Notes from sweet girl:

this is verrry 20s. it's one of the most 20s things in the outfit. it's great, but only wear it when going for a glamorous 20s look. it's not something to be taken lightheartedly. for real.


Tulle Bow Headband by Forever 21 ($4.80)

Notes from Forever 21:
A skinny satin-covered headband topped with a tulle bow trimmed with feathers.
Notes from sweet girl:

oh, i love this. it's so 20s. the feathers. the mesh. the satin. it's very classy. no, sassy. okay, both. it's sclassy. oh! new word alert, people! new word alert!

Eye Definer in Taupe by the Body Shop ($11.00)

Notes from the Body Shop:

Best if you want to: Emphasize your eyes with a long-lasting, blendable eye liner that is soft yet firm enough to be smudge-resistant.

Best for: all skin tones

What it is designed to do:
  • Natural waxes help to enable smooth, easy application while moisturizing and conditioning delicate eye skin.
  • Vitamin E is an antioxidant that helps protect skin from harmful environmental aggressors.
  • Community Trade marula oil from Namibia helps to condition skin over time and restore skin’s moisture barrier.
Notes from sweet girl:

god i love the body shop's notes. they do such a good job. anyway, just use this to line your waterlines and right under and above your eyes, and smudge it. that's essential, because 20s makeup was very soft-looking. still, you'll want a lot of it.


Beauty Rush Sparkling Eyeshadow in Flashblack by Victoria's Secret ($7.00)

Notes from Victoria's Secret:
Give your eyes a new twinkle with luminous eye shadows infused with sparkling pearl for a super-shimmery finish. Mix and match shades to create your own unique sparkling eye looks. Imported.
Notes from sweet girl:

this stuff is excellent. i love it SO MUCH!! anyway, just layer it on rather generously on your lid up to the crease. smudge.
