I've been a Gatsby fan since I first cracked the spine of the paperback copy I was issued for a high school English class. Having already fallen in love with literature and the glow of the more glamorous side of the 1920's, I was swooning after meeting Gatsby, Nick, Jordan, and the Buchanans. The trailer for Baz Luhrmann's upcoming interpretation of the opulent, drama-filled world of East Egg inspired me to pick up this book again--although on my Kindle this time instead of in paperback.
To me, this outfit seemed like an updated version of something Jordan Baker might wear (and would be in keeping with the idyllic pastel tones that pervaded the 1974 version with Robert Redford as Gatsby). Although I've been tempted to chop off my hair during this long, hot summer, I can't quite bring myself to do it. This low, bob-like updo is a decent substitute for an actual flapper haircut.

Love this dress on you. The outfit definitely has a 1920s feel. Mission accomplished! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous - you look so glamorous and definitely nailed the '20's look!
ReplyDeleteYou look white hot! Love the giant pearl necklace with the studs! Very classic but young and chic!
ReplyDeleteThis look is perfect on you! I really like the sunglasses and the way your hair is styled. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteI totally get the Jordan Baker vibe from this - I love it on you! Are you going to see Baz's version? I think it's going to be either great or really really bad...
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely going to see Baz's version! Even if it ends up being terrible, I am a big fan of the over-the-top, colorful, chaotic elements his movies have, so I'll at least enjoy that.
DeleteI've seen those glasses on several other ladies, but you are the first that I've seen where it really works - they look fantastic on you!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Lisa on your sunnies! : )
ReplyDeleteI love The Great Gatsby too, and I can't wait for Baz's version.
