The snazzy fifties. A decade of political, social and fashionable changes. I loved the 50s and the nostalgia--in a general sense--that it inspires. It was a decade of cool fashion and music. The end of the war, the beginning of a strong middle-class, the suburbs, hops, burger joints, bad boys and bad girls. The fifties was just fun--in theory of course.
What I am loving about this season--and the next few actually--is the resurgence of the fifties vibe and style, even the music. I saw it coming when Duffy's song was a hit, when red lips came back. It was just as carefree as the 80s.
When I was younger for Halloween, all I wanted to wear were poodle skirts and wing tips. I had a love for that era just like I loved the 20s and 40s. So enjoy the boards I have created and later today the posts for Brunettes will be up. Enjoy!
