Did you catch my post about Gatsby-inspired looks for curvy gals? Well, even though the movie was not what we hoped it would be, the glitz and glamour of 1920s fashion never disappoints!

So I went down to vive la femme last week and hunted for some looks that hit all of the 1920s-notes…I found lace, frills, and delicate colors to swoon over!

Check out a few of my finds in the latest episode of vive la femme TV!

One thing I love about being a plussize fashion blogger is that I get to take on different identities and personas through the clothes I wear. I love how one outfit can change your whole demeanor and attitude! When my friend Rashid Matthews from RHM Creative Studios asked me to help with a photoshoot, I decided to play with three totally different looks–transforming from a socialite to a spy and into a sexy secretary. 🙂

First look: Socialite. Pearls, peplum and lace all scream ladylike glamour!

 

 I always complete my mission! 😉 Isn’t Perry from Alluring Chicago the CUTEST bad girl out there?!

And every good spy needs a cover identity, right? How about being a secretary? 😉

Hmmmm…..who do I want to be tomorrow??? 

The Great Gatsby premiers TODAY and I can’t help the visions of art deco jewelry, drop-waist dresses, cloche hats, fringe, glittery tops, shiny accessories and soft chiffon skirts from dancing through my head. The 1920s was a fun fashion decade all about embellishment and freedom. Hemlines were shortened, strict tailoring was put on a back burner, and accessories were king!

The Great Gatsby fever sent me on a hunt to find fabulous 1920s-inspired  pieces especially for the curvy gal. So, here are a few plussize picks that will have you roaring around town in style!
