I wish I was a 1920's Flapper Girl

So this is the first post of Eyes Biggers Than Her Purse, for all girls who simply go through life with dreams of clothes, shoes and gorgeous make-up she can never seem to have.

A week ago a new obsession of mine was born, the 1920's flapper. I recently picked up a book from tesco ( yes glamorous I know) on a whim. You can't go wrong with a 3 for a fiver and I'd already read through mums entire bookcase. It was part of a trilogy called 'The Flappers' by Jillian Larkin and told a story of some 1920's high society girls who rebel, they cut their long hair into bobs and put on the shortest, most embellished dress they can find. They then head to the nearest speakeasy to do the charlston with as many men as possible.

So I got thinking about the clothes we have now and thought, aren't they so boring in comparison? I sometimes wish I was born in the 1920's 30's or 50's, when women wore skirts or dresses everyday in pretty shades of pink.

Can't wait to read the next instalment and escape to the 20's for a while, in the meantime I found some pretty pictures to look at instead...
