Hey, Where Did You Get Your Costume? Oh, The 1920s...

Still at a loss on what to be this Halloween? Let's go back in time and visit the styles of the Roaring 20s! The 1920s marked the arrival of a new independent woman called the flapper. Found at speakeasies and jazz clubs, their look showcased bare arms, short hemlines, heavy makeup, and sleek short hair (think of Velma and Roxie from the musical "Chicago"). Designers today have taken inspiration from the 20s and you too can find clothes and accessories that will have people saying you're "the bee's knees." Take a look at this color-block flapper inspired dress with a rhinestone encrusted neckline or these shoes with a unique wishbone style strap that will have you dancing all night long.
