"Twenty-something in a Roaring Twenties get-up. Tonight's party should be fun. I hope no one will mind the music I brought," said Sarah, eager to show off her themed costume.
"Halloween, Sarah. It's just Halloween. The party is a bash, so no, no one will care," said Andrea, who was minimally dressed in costume. She was more of a summer person.
Andrea enjoyed Halloween to a more realistic extent. Snack on some candy. Chit chat with friends. Pretend to be scared by spooky decor and a few costumes. A pass on the basement scary activities. That was about it, though. For Sarah, however, Halloween was a surreal escape to eras long forgotten in the modern century. Halloween was not scary or spooky to her. Halloween was a chance to live ever so briefly in a long lost moment.
Sarah had two passions in life - fashion and United States history. She was specifically drawn to decades where independent feminism dominated male-driven society. In fact, she attended every women's rights conference held in the city she lived in. And so the 1920s was a great example of female strength and independence. As for fashion, Sarah loved the fun, sassy style and chose her 20-something to flaunt the 20s look.
Gold shimmering dress, fringe hem, strappy sleeves, knee length, carefree showing off bare arms and legs. Gold glittery pumps. Gold faux pearl necklace strung twice around her neck. Gold satin gloves worn up to her elbows (aesthetic appeal). Hair styled in a bun with 1920s ladies cap. A gorgeous lady. A sexy flapper. A Roaring Twenties gal.
Sarah danced the night away in the only way she knew appropriate for her costume - the Charleston. She even attracted a few to join in.
She even attracted one in particular - a handsome lad so happened to be in "The Great Gatsby" attire.
Laughs, drinks, fun, carefree...Sarah did not want this Halloween to end.
Flapper style.
