Doing The Twenty-Twelve Charleston...

So, I've been invited to a 1920's themed Birthday party in the new year and have been searching high and low for the perfect outfit. My first thought was to go all out antique and hunt down a true vintage piece. Alas, my budget will never stretch that far so I've been doing a spot of online research, all in the name of dressing up you understand. Not wishing to to channel bad taste, overpriced fancy dress, I decided to take matters into my own hands and put together a look of my own, taking inspiration from this lovely lady. This stuff is so glamourous, it never goes out of fashion...
