I swear, I missed some courses on how to be a girl DH has his big work party coming up, but this year it's a theme (OH MY GOD - my worst nightmare, lol). Roaring 20's. I am already clueless on how to dress for these events, and I am completely stumped with this one.
So....let's play a game. Help Dress Sam!! I would love to spend about $80 or less on a dress. Anyone love fashion/searching for clothes and feel like helping a girl out?

Amazon has a selection of roaring 20s dresses. Also, there are a few on sale at mod cloth. Always pair with a long string of pearls. Also a sequin headband with feathers.

Would this work? It's more what I am comfortable with (longer dress). And I could pair with that long black bead necklace?

I just typed "20's dress" into ebay and got a ton of results, and initially some look inexpensive and nice. Try searching "Gatsby dress" or "flapper dress". You'll find a TON of stuff.

I knew you guys would know the answer! Looks like I can get the whole outfit from Amazon Now to dive into that black hole.

Here's the other deal, we have another formal the next night. I like to just get one dress that I can wear to both. Would this one work?

I had no idea Amazon sold all these cute dresses.
I like the boas, would add one of those, too.

My friend had hers made special for our night out, I pieced mine together, bought the dress at the Salvation Army and made my head band.
