Thanks for the chuckle!</p> <p><b>Carole</b> - You didn't miss anything, this is the first I've posted in a while. And I just got the shorter cut a couple weeks ago. Thank you for your kind words! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---flapper-puts-on-the-glad-rags#post-999492 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 01:33:04 +0000 Carole 999492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely fabulous outfit, J J!

The only hair on my head that I would let my husband near would be on my chin </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---flapper-puts-on-the-glad-rags#post-999386 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 22:50:27 +0000 JulieJohn 999386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Ornella</b> - Thank you! I sorta slipped the new hairdo in when nobody was looking, glad you like it! It's funny how parties change over our lifetimes. When I was young I thought I liked parties. It turned out I like <b>kids'</b> parties. I like the structure, the games, the group activities, the camaraderie. Adult parties are usually a free-for-all, and if you're not a social butterfly they can feel like an Amish shunning. Plus there are no games, no prizes, no party favors - what the heck? Maybe in our golden years parties will revert to a nice game of bingo and a slice of cake. ;)</p> <p><b>Pil</b> - love that term "Gatsbyesque" - so clever! Yes, it's shorter. My husband cut it, his first time cutting hair. I am so happy and I saved $20. Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---flapper-puts-on-the-glad-rags#post-999292 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 21:02:47 +0000 pil 999292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You really do look Gatsbyesque with your details. Love the hair!! I remember you getting it cut a while back, but is this style a bit different? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---flapper-puts-on-the-glad-rags#post-999289 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 20:53:23 +0000 Ornella 999289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great, great, great. I'm rummaging through my wardrobe&nbsp;in my head looking for things to use to recreate this. I suddenly really miss my long necklaces!</p> <p>Btw 1, what... when... how...&nbsp;did I miss the new hair. G.o.r.g.e.o.u.s.</p> <p>Btw 2, thanks for giving name to my style of socialising -&nbsp;<span>small-group socializer. Now I finally know what to answer to those who ask me if I like parties (thankfully there are less and less of those, privilege of an age I guess).<br /></span><br />I'm looking fwd to seeing the photo/s of your friend's work.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---flapper-puts-on-the-glad-rags#post-999120 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 16:30:29 +0000 JulieJohn 999120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Suz</b> - thank you, sweetie!

It really suits you well. Your outfit is among my favorites on you, too, and I definitely agree that Gatsby comes to mind. THe skirt is particularly flattering on you.&nbsp;How lucky you were to be invited home to the costume and sewing teacher. I had a dream of pursuing that as my occupation when I was young, but literature and language won. I guess I chose with my head, not my heart.&nbsp;Your pup put a big smile on my face - how cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---flapper-puts-on-the-glad-rags#post-998569 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 17:13:30 +0000 Wendi1984 998569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your outfit!

I can't tell you how much I like it. My fave ever. You totally channel Gatsby; it's like Gatsby for today.</p> <p>I hope your new friend does send photos! How cool is that? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---flapper-puts-on-the-glad-rags#post-998517 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 16:01:34 +0000 JulieJohn 998517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore this to a party last night and unconsciously channeled a 1920s vibe. It's a very comfortable outfit which was helpful because I don't really like most parties. I'm more a small-group socializer. The crowd gathered outside by the pool and the super-loud DJ, but hubby and I retired to the living room and chatted with one couple all evening. </p> <p>The lady in this couple teaches college-level costuming and sewing, and they invited us back to their house (kind of reverse party-crashing!) to see her gorgeous <b>steampunk</b> dresses! Plonk! I didn't know whether to drool or faint. Hubby was such a sweetheart to put up with us gals swooning over camo, silks, leathers, grommets, pith helmets, and petticoats. I asked her to email a photo of her work so I can share it with all of you.</p> <p>So my outfit, if you've read this far ha ha, is definitely on the casual side of dressy but I feel great in it. Good for hot weather, everything is machine washable. Bonus: peekaboo pup.</p> <p>Top: Style &amp; Co.<br />Skirt: White House Black Market<br />Sandals, purse, necklace: unknown oldies</p> <p>Thank you and enjoy the rest of the weekend, me lovelies! </p>
