If The Great Gatsby could be broken down and observed in its truest essence, it would be an uncomfortable tale of obsession, greed and overindulgence existing under a façade of diamonds, pearls and beautiful flapper dresses.
Though these are not brand new revelations( or particularly advanced musings), watching the latest movie adaptation starring our # 1 manboy Leo and his onscreen forever-love Carey Mulligan nearly makes the millions of dollars in set production and general grandeur of the cinematic spectacle physically captivating- almost to the point where leaving the theatre makes us feel both vulnerable and underdressed( especially in comparison to the group of girls at the front of the theatre decked out in elaborate headpieces).
Dressing like a flapper— complete with the wig, long pearls, and feathered boa on Halloween— is totally acceptable. In real life, however, it may be a bit too costume-y. Not to worry – your inner flapper can show its magic with just a little bit of ― know how and know where ‖.
