- Shiny mary janes
My flapper afro is slowly coming back…
This is how I fluff it up… by running my hands in small circles until it puffs up.

what a perfect outfit. and i love that you added the buttons! i have a 1930s velvet dress but it tore in the armpits and i have it tucked away in my closet. i miss wearing it and this dress reminds me how how soft old velvet is!
and those flapper fros are divine. i love old sheet music so much.
your hair looks so cute here!!
Argh! My hair is like 2 degrees away from being curly enough for a flapper fro. So frustrating. Yours is lovely!
