Hi everyone, so recently i have been going to a lot of sweet 16's and i just attended a 1920's themed one.
Ever since the Great Gatsby movie came out ive noticed a lot of Gatsby styled outfits and i wish i could of put this post up earlier so that you could have had some inspiration for Halloween so im sorry about that.
So here are some of my favorite outfits of the night modeled by my lovely friends.
This was by far my favorite outfit of the night, its so elegant and classy. The dress is from River Island (£70) and its so beautifully embellished with white beads from top to bottom. The fur cover up is from Monsoon children's section (£20) and its a light pink but it seems to have come up rather purple in the photo, the cover was the same colour as the dress.
She then added some costume jewelry which you can find anywhere to complete the look and lastly some satin gloves which she got on ebay.
This gorgeous dress was from Monsoon (£169) and you can have a look at it online here . This is a very classic dress which you could also wear to several other occasions. As the dress was very sparkly on its own she wore a small basic pearl necklace to dial it down a little with some red nails which stand out against the white dress which some might think is irrelevant but its the little things that make up an outfit.
If you don't want to completely go with the theme but still do at the same time i thought that this was perfect! Its also embellished with small beads all over which gives a great Gatsby vibe. This dress was from Miss Selfridge (£95) which you can buy here . This dress can also be worn to a wedding or any other formal occasion. She also accessorized it with some costume jewelry.
In case any of you are turning 16 and also would like to throw a 1920's themed birthday party here is some party inspiration. Everything at the party was so beautiful and well organised and was truly amazing.
The table was covered in jars of sweets with a label on the jar that had the name of the sweets in a vintage font. The best thing about this was that we weren't hungry for a moment as the amount of sweets was unlimited and they just didn't seem to finish. Her cake was so beautiful and not to mention delicious. It was a 2 layer light blue cake with gold around rim and the top layer decorated with a pearl necklace made out of icing.
The drinks cups were all piled on top of each other in a pyramid shape and so were the bottles of champagne. You could decorate the candle by putting a candle or any other vintage things lying around the house like here with a bird cage.
