I would have to say the 1920's as well. Just don't bring back the 1980's, I hated the shoulder pads that looked like football pads. I don't think they were flattering to any woman.
I love the 1980s. mini skirts and cute boots and tank tops with leggings.. they wore those tights underneath so I could move around freely. I don't know why I love this look. Punk rock and hip.
I don't know why but I love bright colors and comfy dance clothes. I would leave out the makeup. I don't do makeup or jewelry but I always loved the layered look with the tank tops/button up mens shirts and those cool open sided black boots above. And of course I LOVE that green color. I know I am weird. I don't do skirts.
i love the 1920's, '30's fashions too! i love the music of those times, my absolute favorite music -- big band/swing.
i'd never wear those fashions myself, though. i fall into the category of not fashionable, wears comfortable clothing only, and no make up or particular hair-do.
