on 8/8/2009 This costume/outfit really only works if you're trying to emulate a high school student.
Other popular styles in the fifties included pencil skirts and bright red lipstick.

on 11/22/2005 I would suggest wearing pink lipstick, and make your eyes the focus. You put a thick line of black kohl eyeliner on your top lid only and make sure it has the little cat eye thing at the end. [Think Marilyn Monroe]. False eyelashes are great too. For the bottom part of your eye I would use eyeliner and then smudge it to make it smokey. =)

on 11/22/2005 The double sock was popular in the 50's. Pink and white is a nice combination, or whatever colors that would match your outfit. The "Bob" was also trendy, as well as button-down cardigans.
