Grab your pearls and sequins! Tickets are still available for our quarterly League of Ladies networking shindig!
Debbie Sessions
Debbie Sessions with Reno-based VintageDancer.com assembled three looks to get you ready to party like it’s 1922. VintageDancer.com curates and links to vintage-inspired clothing, accessories and shoes across the ‘net. Items are organized by decade and cater to any budget.
Debbie proves that making a living, having fun and following one’s passion can be a successful blend — and that’s why Girlmade hosts League of Ladies. Gatsby-inspired attire is highly encouraged, but like we’ve said before, the best accessory is a great attitude toward meeting local entrepreneurs, politicians, students, industry leaders and more.
Look 1: The Flapper
Dress, Shoes, Jewelry, Headband
Look 2: The New Gatsby (Inspired by the latest Great Gatsby movie)
Dress, Headband, Necklace, Earrings, Shoes
Look 3: The New Woman (“Not all 20s women were skinny flappers in short dresses,” Debbie said.)
Dress, Shawl, Purse, Bracelet, Headband
Want more? Of course you do! Debbie wrote The Great Gatsby in Fashion, which pairs
F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel with photos of the 1920s fashion referenced throughout it. The e-book can be downloaded here. She also posts helpful tips about 1920s makeup and more on Pinterest.
League of Ladies will be from 6:30-8:30 p.m. on July 10 at the W.M. Keck Museum at the University of Nevada, Reno. See you there!
P.S. Gatsby-inspired swag bags will be given to the first 60 ladies in attendance.
