Hey cool cats! It's almost time for Halloween. Ive been seeing a lot of great ideas on Etsy, like this handmade Owl Mask:


This month, my theme is 50's Housewife --- how to dress like one, and put your vintage look together.

Want to be a 50s housewife for Halloween but aren't sure where to start? Here are some ideas to get you going -- Click the pics to get to the seller's Etsy store :)


This dress is functional and sweet, fits the 50s housewife look, and is nice and bold, perfect for a costume!

Get some simple red lipstick. Cherry red tones often look best on people with very light complexions. Choose darker wine or plum shades for darker complexions.



A cardigan like this will do the trick!

Wear shoes in this style - functional and ladylike:



Tie a scarf in your hair and you're looking good!


Other things you can add to your 50s Housewife costume:
Sweater guards or sweater clips, pearl necklaces, retro button earrings, a bouffant wig, cateye glasses, a retro apron, or maybe a flower in your hair :)

Happy shopping!
