flappers

Flapper girls sported a bob cut, loved jazz music and showed a bit of skin. This was the era that skirts were shortened and knees were exposed! Oh NO! How naughty!!! Flappers even powdered or put rouge on their knees to show them off when dancing!!!

How exciting that these women in the 1920′s didn’t care about what the norm was and set a statement, a new style. Fashionable dressing in these times were usually for the rich and because of this new uncomplicated style, all women could embrace it and be ‘fashionable’.

Coco Chanel promoted the styles we associate with flappers and did you know she was the originator of the little black dress?!

I would like to think that I have a little bit of ‘flapper’ in me. A bit naughty and daring!!! haha
