Speakeasy, Anyone?

My son’s school just hosted a Speakeasy Casino Night on Friday to raise money for the kids, and it was such a fantastic night! What a great cause and fun reason to play dress up!

Here are a few ideas for accessorizing, and some of my own personal purchases.

First, my obsession – the shoes: Blue by Betsey Johnson.

You can find her brand and fun similar styles here. I’m a bit of a “shoe ho” so forgive the multiple pictures, and close ups.

But hey, if you’re like me and enjoy a good shoe, here you go!

Next, some of the accessories which helped in my “flapper” style that were perfect for the event.

Clutch
Headpiece
Chandelier Earrings
Bracelet

I’ve had the clutch for years so I don’t remember where I got it, but you can find similar styles here, or for more reasonably priced items, you can snag a clutch style here.

The headpiece, chandelier earrings and bracelet were all purchased here. What a great little store Laila Rowe is when you need quick and easy, inexpensive accessories! Love…

Of course, I needed something to go with the 1920s flapper theme for my nails…a little inspo from Pinterest 🙂

Here’s the end product – another fantastic job by my girl, Susanna, at Q Nails Boutique!

And drumroll…the dress! I found this little number by Jessica Simpson at Lord & Taylor on sale here and I just love it! It was so perfect for a speakeasy casino night, and I’m so glad I didn’t have to break the bank for a dress – my husband is pretty happy about that too { cheesy smile cause you know I probably would’ve }…

Look at the fringe at the bottom of the dress and on the sleeves – so pretty!

What’s even better is that I’m sure I’ll have an upcoming summer event to wear it again! { joy }

Close up of the dress – look at the beautiful detail!

Finally, this coat is a vintage find which was borrowed from my sister but it was perfect for a chilly night when I wasn’t wearing much else. I mean, let’s be real…a little flapper dress and fishnet stockings aren’t exactly keepin’ a girl warm, so this coat was perfect. Also, a good reminder to check out local consignment shops cause you never know what gems you might find! Thanks, sis!
