Who doesn't love a good theme party? I love to dress up in character and paint the town red with the best of them, but when the party benefits a great charity like CASA (court appointed special advocates for abused and neglected children), then I am ALL over it! I was asked this week to feature fashion trends for this chic event, and am honored to do so. The event is "Puttin on the Ritz, A Roarin 20's Dinner & Dance, as the gorgeous Bridges Clubhouse next Friday night, April 15th.

The best thing about the 20's is that a lot of the trends are coming back by way of bows, lace and embroidery, and of course hair accesories. Let's take a closer look....
The 20's fashion is described as "depression chic". The decade where women liberated themselves from constricting corsets and ventured into trousers, flowy, comfy dresses and short skirts! Now the 20's was actually not all flappers, that trend did not come in until much later in the decade. But let's face it flapper fringe is fun. Look at these super stylin' 20's ladies, experimenting with new trends....
So right here you get a good look at outfits you could put together at home, with some men's trousers and boots, add in a chunky sweater and a cute headwrap (see me for those of course :))....
Now if jazzin it up a bit more is your style, look at everything black, cream and even red. This pic is the epitomy of 20's fashion- the sack dress, the forehead band, the super long necklace...simply gorgeous...
The "sack" or "shift" dress, as it was called, is a straight square cut dress with a high neckline and usually two layers of fabric. Lots of lace and bows will get you in the mood. Look for mary janes, oxfords and spectator heels for your feet. I put together a special rack in the Pollux Montrose store specifically for this party, here are some ideas!
This beautiful lace jacket is a personal favorite of mine, but you can wear it too :).
Here is the gorgeous sack dress with a large bow tie on the shoulder....
Now for your accesories! Long strands of pearls, headwraps secured with a vintage brooch, flowers and feathers with birdcage veils, and LOTS of sequins. Here are some examples of pieces I have for sale. I will offer free delivery for this party for anyone purchasing a piece, as well as donating 10% of my proceeds to CASA. The sky is the limit on what I can make for you, and in addition to these I have black sequins with peacock feathers, black and white feathers and much more.
