‘Great Gatsby’ fever is sweeping the fashion and beauty scene at the moment but don’t worry if you’ve missed out on tickets for the charity screening at Century Cinema, Letterkenny on Sunday May 19th.
Enjoy your own Roaring Twenties soirée and dust off those pearls and fringed dresses and prepare to Charleston.
How to channel the flapper look?
Firstly, ditch the fake tan. A creamy complexion with smoky eyes and strong matte red lips define the look of the day. Add a beauty spot to your face using the tip of a black eyeliner.
You can easily transform a shift-style dress by simply adding pearls and a corsage like this one below: Dunnes Stores have strands of pearls at €5.00.
Add a headpiece, ornate clips or sequinned headband or fascinator -feather optional- and you’re Daisy Buchanan. Simply, the more embellishment the better. This headpiece is €19.88 from Asos but you can find them much cheaper if you shop around.
New Look has this Pink Frill Front Sleeveless Tunic Dress below. With the right accessories of pearls, or Art Deco jewellery, it will also transform to a 1920’s creation. €24,99.
This baby pink Charleston dress is £25.00 from George at Asda.
Finish the look with a clutch bag – embellished, of course. These are from New Look. Below Cream sequin bead scallop clutch €24.99
Or this below; Pink and gold deco bead embellished clutch €24.99
