style inspiration: the great gatsby

Sequins, feathers and pearls: the 1920s was a woman's fashion decade that arguably has yet to be topped. It was also the beginning of liberation of women when it came to fashion, lifestyle and voting. Appropriate that the 20s was also the decade the Spinsters of San Francisco was founded (November 6, 1929 to be exact!) These women set the stage for what the group has become today: a community oriented social and philanthropic organization of 175 wonderful, young women in San Francisco. 
I recently joined the Spinsters of San Francisco and have enjoyed meeting likeminded girls in the city, frequenting our numerous happy hours and mostly importantly participating in our charity events. One such event happens to be next week (The Great Gatsby) and I couldn't be more excited to rock my own version of sequins, feathers and pearls!


Here are some of my outfit inspirations: 




And the more the merrier, all proceeds go to a great cause - Oasis for Girls
