"Well behaved women rarely make history" - Laurel Thatcher UlrichA best friend gave me a belated birthday card adorned with flappers and this quote. Love it. Very me. Not that I'm not well behaved.... but the free spirited and progressive Twenties gals are always inspiring.
Friday night, I decided to embrace my Twenties (era, not age) idolation and wear my
black sequined tank dress. I dressed it down as much as possible with a blazer, leggings, and fringed sandals. I didn't know exactly where plans would lead me, probably a dive bar where I would look entirely out of place. I just felt like wearing it and wanted to brighten a "this guy cancelled on me" mood. Ended up in the Columbus Circle Whole Foods with a friend, just killing time and browsing. Whatever. Delightful. A Flapper would do this, chug from a flask, and have no qualms about the obnoxious under age punk in the following dive bar spouting the words, "You go to NYU, don't you." I chose to have the Flapper-esque unphased air, sipped my hipster PBR, and joined in on an 80's dance party.
