Here is my 1930s/40s inspired outfit (better late than never, eh?)! This is my favorite fashion decade (tied with the 80s), though I don't have a lot of items reminiscent of the decade in my closet (unlike the 80s). The strong shoulders of the 40s really appeal to me, even with my IT tendencies, and I love the military/menswear vibe of the era, especially apparent in the war time as women were re-purposing men's clothing for themselves; thus the military-styled top (really a dress) with epaulets on the shoulders. To that I added my midi skirt (representing the longer hemlines and flared shape skirts), and semi-sheer/opaque black tights (representing the craze of sheer nylons). I kept this outfit simple as a nod to the post-Depression induced minimalism, leaving off a belt which I would normally wear with this, and sporting only my most important jewelry: earrings, wedding ring, and watch. Did a little 40s inspired twisty hair-do, too
