Why do I like fashion of the 1950s?

I like fashion of the 1950s because this period was very beautiful! There were many long skirts, dresses, hats, and gloves. Prints with polk dots and flowers were also popular. Fashion icons of that time wore ballet flats and heels.

Many of these clothes became classic for us. Famous women of that time such as: Grace Kelly, Marilyn Monroe, and Audrey Hepburn did a lot for modern fashion.

I have several clothes and shoes from 1950s in my wardrobe.

Several days before this holiday in shops appear pumpkins, scary costumes, strange sweets. Also people put on their houses plastic skeletons, witch hats.

One of tradition of halloween is trick-or-treating. At evening, little children knock the doors and say "trick-or-treat" and people must give them a sweet.
