So elegant both of you. I'm loving all the other attendees costumes too. Thanks for sharing these pics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--gastby-picnic-at-the-national-cathedral#post-1735793 Tue, 04 Oct 2016 14:45:20 +0000 citygirldc 1735793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Janet - Thanks Janet and that's why I try not to spend too much money on outings like this. I &nbsp;also try buy outfits/ dresses that could work today or &nbsp;have a modern version ff a Gatsby look. &nbsp;It surely doesn't have to be so literal.&nbsp;</p> <p>FYI - Dandies and Quaintrelles is having their annual tweed bike ride in early November if anyone wants to meet up. The ride is free but you'd have to register.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--gastby-picnic-at-the-national-cathedral#post-1735776 Tue, 04 Oct 2016 14:23:13 +0000 Janet 1735776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That looks so fun, and you guys look fantastic! Yes, I do wish I had more occasions to dress up, although I'd be in trouble trying to dress for an event like this because I can't think of anything in my closet that would work for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--gastby-picnic-at-the-national-cathedral#post-1735770 Tue, 04 Oct 2016 14:13:15 +0000 citygirldc 1735770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so sorry not to respond earlier but thank you all so much for the compliments. It's too bad no one dresses up any more and this was such a fun event to dress up for. If this event proves to be as successful as it seemed, maybe we can hold a meet-up next year. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--gastby-picnic-at-the-national-cathedral#post-1735756 Tue, 04 Oct 2016 13:46:03 +0000 Anonymous 1735756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so glad you included a picture of the National Cathedral. &nbsp;It is a gorgeous setting. &nbsp;You look beautiful. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--gastby-picnic-at-the-national-cathedral#post-1735634 Tue, 04 Oct 2016 06:02:41 +0000 Sally 1735634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So stylish.

I read about it at 6 pm, it was supposed to be from 5-8. I drove back through town looking carefully, and only saw some women in pants, so not trying at all.</p> <p>Then this weekend, our town (the home of Scrabble's inventor) was host to the International Scrabble Tournament,&nbsp;held in Canada for the first time. And I read about THAT a few hours after the amateurs' match was over... Clearly, I need to pay more attention to my newsfeed, or something. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--gastby-picnic-at-the-national-cathedral#post-1735321 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 16:43:57 +0000 viva 1735321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How beautiful!!! You all look so wonderful. I'd love to attend something like this outdoors. In fact, I went to a winter party a few years ago where we dressed similarly (though not quite as successfully) - see photo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--gastby-picnic-at-the-national-cathedral#post-1735315 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 16:34:00 +0000 El Cee 1735315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So fun!!!

I always love the idea of dressing up in fancy clothes (vintage style) and this event gave us the perfect opportunity to do so. &nbsp;hoto #5- My swing instructors were there. There are the first 2 people from the left.</p> <p>My dress: Jones NY via Ebay.<br />Shoes: Vintage Farragamo t-straps<br />Cloche hat: eBay<br />Gloves: vintage store<br />parasol: bought way back when from somewhere. </p>
