Fitzgerald once described Daisy’s voice as being so carefree that it sounds like it’s “full of money.” But I think, the same can also be said about her fashion sensibilities because she looks like a million bucks. Daisy Buchanan is quite possibly one of the most stylish female characters in literary history.
When I was younger, I was obsessed with everything about the roaring 20s. From the effortless shift dresses, sleek short hair, alluring makeup to the cigarette holders. I would have this recurring dream of being a flapper/femme fatale in a seedy speakeasy. And, I would always have a cigarette holder between my scarlet lips as I sat alone at dingy table, just smoldering. As I watched curlicues of fumes from the glowing tip of my cancer stick sway seductively throughout the air, the sheiks (attractive men) would just flock to me. Those girlie fantasies make me giggle endlessly.
