One of my favorite decades by far for fashion is the 1920's. I love the elegant and femanine fashions for ladies and the gentlemenly looks for men. People realy knew how to dress then and I occasionally find myself fantasing about being alive at that time. To channel my inner Daisy Buchanan on a budget, I turned to my closet for some vintage pieces such as the beaded handbag and to Forever 21 for some fab necklaces, hair accesories and the dress. The cream cutout top is a recent find from Necessary Clothing in NYC and the white blouse with marquise beaded shoulders is from Zara last year. The draped necklace is about 15 years old from Express....so vintage Express? The pearl necklace and hair pins were gifts. I love the soft blushes and creams lately. I think the tops will look great with denim or lacey shorts. I will round the looks out with my nude shoes. I'm in love with these looks!

Great Gatsby Style For Less!
Saturday, March 23, 2013
The calander says Spring but old man winter still has New England in his icy grasp!
I will be beyond thrilled if I get any use out of the pictured pieces this month. My Spring wardrobe is beyond fresh pretty and adoreable this year and yet I have only been able to rock some of my new jewelry pieces so far. It's rather sad because last year at this time I was in no way ready to break out my Spring style like I am this year.
I am truly thrilled with the pastel and floral confections in the form of shoes, dresses, necklaces and even pants that I have aquired in the past couple months that I am truely heartbroken by the cold! I have decided rock some if these cuties anyway and just add tights, boots, and scarves until I am able to walk outside without having my breath taken away from the cold! Its March 23, and there are flurries for fashions sake! Brrrrr. My fave of the pieces pictured below is the little Bird dress by Band of Gypsies that I snagged last week at T.J. Maxx for only $19.99. What are some of your fave Spring pieces?
