1920s flapper inspired fashion accessories
Did you watch The Great Gatsby? If so, you would have noticed the women in the roaring 1920s. They were called the Flapper Girls because they wore short skirts, sported short bob haircuts, used excessive makeup, smoked, drank, partied, and were generally liberal in their sexual behavior. Okay, I’m not so inspired by their sexual behavior but I’m certainly inspired by their sense of fashion and style. So today, I’ve hunted down a couple of flapper inspired fashion accessories from Etsy to share here.

And here’s a cute video on the Flapper Girls.

Oh glory, I want to dance already!

i love the 1920s! so much so, that i joined the ball committee at my high school in senior year and made our ball theme 1920s ? but so many people objected… guess you cant please everyone hehe
i really want the ring and the necklace… i am actually considering getting them!
This is so ironic because I JUST finished reading the book “Twenties Girl” and it had a lot about flappers, the excessive makeup and all the rest you had said. I was quite shocked since I had no idea. It was a fun read nevertheless. And those accessories are really cute.
You love that era too? I thought it was so special and I love the liberated spirit.
I am thinking of getting the ring too…I like that it’s adjustable.
Oh what a coincidence! Aren’t they so interesting? I thought the girls during that era were really special in terms of their liberating spirit. It’s always fun watching movies featuring them.
Oh mys stars! I love it! o cute. wish i cud have or make one.
Loving the choker, is so pretty!
This is so amusing on the grounds that I JUST wrapped up the book “Twenties Girl” and it had a great deal about flappers, the inordinate cosmetics and all the rest you had said. I was very stunned since I had no clue. It was a fun perused by and by. What’s more, those adornments are extremely charming.
I think the Flapper Style is here to stay which I love. It become more and more common to host a Gatsby themed party and more and more common to dress as a flapper. the 20s fashion was for sure one the best fashion era. thank you for this creative flapper goodies article.
