Going to a 40's themed wedding reception next week. wwyd? UPDATED WITH PURchASE and NEED HELP~

it is totally 40's and formal.


was toying with the idea of doing it up 40's glam style...after one of the gorg actresses of the day.

If YOU were going, WHICH actress/look would you replicate if any?

If you were ME, who would you go as?

UPDATED!

bought this dress in BLACK

External Image (link b/c nordstroms site isn't loading properly)

am thinking this dress needs an updo rather than loose curls...what do you think?

also any accessories suggestions?

I am probably wearing these shoes (in black)

though I also have silver, red, and eggplant coloured heals I could wear....

please post as many suggestions as you can...the wedding is TOMORROW! Chat Icon

Mae West came to mind, although I know she wasn't the 40's.Chat Icon

I'm not to familiar with the actresses back than, but I love their style. The pictures from this wedding will look awesome if everyone sticks to the theme.

Except she is blond but Christina Aguillera is very good inspiration. She dresses like this all the time.

Red lipstick, make up, etc...

I am kicking myself b/c I cut my hair recently.

the longest layers are now a bit past my shoulders, but not by much.

I am going for it anyway...

and totally red lips! wahoo!

Also, Pearls were very big in the 40's
maybe a long strand on pearls with a knot 1/2 down.

Just an idea!

Peronally, I woudln't do a necklace. I'd do a brouch in my hair.. maybe pulling the side back a bit, then a bracelet.. something blingy!!
