Sunday Shenanigans!

Hello my Followers and Readers. I am so very grateful for your support of the little fashion blogging addiction I have here! This is a creative outlet for me, but I hope it can be at least entertaining for you too!
My Sunday Shenanigan entries are mostly to just post pretty things for absolutely no good reason! I come across some ah-mazing pictures while organizing my blog, and I take Sundays as my opportunity to share this photography with you for no rhyme or reason. Isn't that what Sunday should be about? A kind of concoction of whatever you want all blended together?!?! I hope your Sunday is filled with amazing fashion and wonderful times with the people you adore the most!

Long Skirt.

I just adore the idea of this once perfect dress skirt becoming an everyday item because of its wear and tear. Super fun look! And a great look that can be accomplished with shopping at Vintage stores. My FAVORITE! Always a good idea to put this ensemble together with imperfect hair, and flawless makeup.

Flappers had a major focus on makeup. They traditionally had dark eye makeup, and dark lipstick that accentuated a cupids bow. I have read that some women for pictures even wore their black eye liner on their lips in order to make for a more drastic contrast in coloring. Very fun look!

1920's Fashion

During this era U.S. history was changing...World War I had ended and women were granted the right to vote... =>Enter the Flapper! She was a liberal and free-thinking woman who wore short skirts, sheer stockings, had a short hair cut, which was also known as "the bob" which many times was styled in a finger waive. And she wore drastically dark makeup with art deco jewelry. The Flapper was considered youthful and boyish, as they abandoned curves and restricted corsets for a more loose fitting dress with strait lines. Flappers were pioneers in many ways, and fashion was just used (as it was intended to be) as an outlet for expression. I think for the flapper; her style was an expression of change, freedom, and liberation. She herself allowed her fashion to be an expression of free thinking. It was the fashion that flipped upside down the idea of femininity and allowed women to take control over what it expresses about them as individuals and as American women.
