The 1920s was an unquestionably freeing time for women. Exoticism mixed with a variety of un-restricting garments and accessories created a visually creative and appealing time in fashion that is often referenced to even today. On this revolutionary voting day in the United States, I am inspired to look forward to the future and have true hope. I believe that this is the same way the Suffragettes carrying signs and wearing political stark whites felt once the Nineteenth Amendment was passed on August 18, 1920. This landmark decision came just in time for the Roaring Twenties, or as legendary fashion editor Diana Vreeland called it, "the true birth of the 20th century". Thus, the free spirited women of the 1920s and their extraordinary jewelry slinking and bouncing around them while they lived their new fast-paced lives inspired me to clink around in my own ridiculous faux pearls. I hope that the decision made today is in the favor of modest pearl wearer Hillary Clinton. She is someone who I believe has more of the same rights and interests in mind as I do, unlike her competitors.
