I am going to a bar opening in a few weeks. The place has an old school, prohibition era vibe to it. The logo is a bootleggers truck, it's dark wood and brick in a space below street level, etc.
I thought it would be fun to kinda dress for that era without doing a full on costume. I was thinking of doing a flapper inspired dress ( that I can still wear in multiple other situations) and I found this one that was fun, and reasonably priced:

I thought that if I did that with a jeweled headband thingie and some retro shoes, maybe a round toe t-strap with chunky heels it would be obvious to the time period without being halloween.
Thoughts? Help? Other ideas? Better ideas?
