If you want to go back to a time when the world was more innocent and everyone smoked like a chimney, then consider dressing up like a 1950's housewife for Halloween this year! Here are some ideas to get you started:
Being a housewife isn't too complicated in terms of wardrobe. All you have to do is go to your local thrift shop and see if there's anything that could suit your 1950's style. Especially seek out second-hand stores that are in neighborhoods where a lot of old folks live; this is where you're more likely to strike gold.
Since it's Halloween, and you're going to want to be festive, pick a dress that is brightly colored. Something red, yellow, or even dark green could do the trick. You might also consider making your own if you can't find one in the right style.
Hair was different in the 50's. Go on YouTube and look up a few tutorials on how to do your hair in a style. If you don't want to sacrifice your own hairstyle, you could also buy a wig and style it how you want. Some wigs already come in a stereotypical style from some era or another. Try to find a good wig if you can.
Since you're a housewife, you're going to need a few things: an apron, some oven mitts, a muffin tray, and maybe even a frying pan to chase your husband around with after he comes home late from the office. So, do you want to give your friends a taste of the past? Rock around the clock this Halloween as a 50s housewife!
