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 ‖.
