2. String along your friend Jenn for a couple weeks telling her that you think her idea of attending a Great Gatsby themed party at a boutique hotel is great but you need to hear back from your other friends before you commit.
3. 1 week before, realize that you have nothing else going on and it's time to hone in on a plan.
4. At the same time, get really excited about finding a 1920s outfit.
5. Realize that you only have 2 days (after work) to find said outfit.
6. Invite your childhood friends who now live on the West Coast to come over and watch you get ready. I promise it won't be awkward at all. Even after Pam tells you that your shirt doesn't fit. It's cool.
