the GREAT GATSBY

i'm typically not one to participate in costume parties, but in this case i am all in. this is some inspiration costume options for my company's holiday party at the new REVOLVE/FORWARD office this Saturday. the theme is 1920's dapper flapper jazz age speakeasy, which is a highly appropriate choice as far as "trends" go and the coming of The Great Gatsby (absolutely can not wait for that to come out by the way). i can either go the obvious, decadent glamourous, sparkly, fringy flapper Daisy Buchanan route, or the Marlene Dietrich route with her fabulous androgynous suit-and-fur ensembles, and then infuse YSL's famous Le Smoking image. I threw in Bianca Jagger, although this was decades before her time, but she embodies that handsome woman look i'm into too. Decisions!

stay tuned for images (and what i decided to wear!) from tomorrow night's speakeasy.

if there is one recurring theme in my closet, it is the color black. from my jackets to jeans to purses (a warm welcome to the Chanel jumbo, please!), to most recently my hair dye, the dark palette lends to versatility and timelessness without the risk of borderlining boring.
