20's Flapper & Rosa Regale | COSTUME AND COCKTAILS
Everyone knows that Halloween is one of my favorite times of the years. I often get ask about affordable plus size costumes. I've created Costume and Cocktail as an idea space for women looking budget friendly fits for Halloween. This year Halloween falls on a weekend. Which means party time! The 20's flapper look are a very easy way to look and feel sexy while not showing off all your goodies. Plus it won't make you break the bank. This looks can be achieved with any color fringe dress and long pearls. Then add a long cigarette holder and a feather head piece. Couple with fishnet stockings and heels to complete the look.
During the roaring 20's a flapper was a fashionable young woman intent on enjoying herself and flouting conventional standards of behavior. Flapper were seen as brash for wearing excessive makeup. For this costume it's ok to go heavy on the makeup. A red, wine or a popping pink color lip is a must. The bolder the better. This is a great time to got batty with the lashes. I recommend the Ardell Double up Lashes 203. I get mine from Ulta or Target.
One of the worlds must famous flapper would be Josephine Baker. So feel free to channel her when wearing your costume. Confidence is a must! Follow Tyra Banks words and smile with your eyes, Smize!
Flapper Women's Costume
I suspect with Halloween falling on a weekend this year many people will be having parties. So if you're the host or a guest a bottle of Rosa Regale will be a great way to celebrate. I have included this easy to make cocktail recipe.
The drink is called Mirosa. You'll need 3 oz chilled Rosa Regale, 1.5 oz DeKuyper Triple Sec, splash of cranberry juice per glass.
