20s inspired

If you haven't seen Changeling yet, I highly recommend you check it out. The Eastwood directed gut-wrenching story features a mother named Christine, played by Angelina Jolie, who loses her son. Tragic and touching. But enough with the spoilers; check out what Angelina recently said about the cool '20s era costumes she wore for the film.

My friends and I are constantly looking for fun places to experience. Last weekend, we headed to the local speakeasy. Unlike typical bars, this place took us back in time with its moody '20s theme. We wanted to blend in with the crowd, so I asked you to help me find a fun outfit that matches the era. Fringe would be fun!

I started you off with this White House Felt Cloche ($48) because it's classic and cool. Let's see what you all came up with.

Look #1, created by hil34, has all the right touches. The red tights and metallic shoes give her outfit extra sparkle.

Rachel Pally's Fall/Holiday collection is right up my alley with the rich colors and interesting but subdued prints — many in her trademark jersey fabric. This collection is a tad more dressed up than usual and '20s-inspired. Standout pieces include a grey jersey jumpsuit, berry-colored dresses, tight mini skirts, and form-fitting, scoop neck tops. I can definitely see myself celebrating the holidays in this collection, feathered headbands and all!
