TGIF!!  This past week has been rough (the week after spring break always seems twice as long) with lots of things that had to be finished, doctor appointments and so on.  So here’s my remedy: wear a pretty vintage skirt, eat some spaghetti and a salad and watch a Woody Allen movie.

I so want to make this dress (photo via Elegant Musings – my latest blog crush! http://blog.caseybrowndesigns.com/2011/07/50s-dress-tutorial-pt-2/#more-9050)

So, that’s what I’ve been up to lately – tomorrow I’m going to a local springtime parade and then I have rehearsal for the rest of the day.  I hope you all have an amazing weekend and do something you’ve always wanted to do!

No era has been so focused on cooking, cleaning, shopping, raising the little ones, entertaining, mixing cocktails and all things housewife-y as the 1950s.  Women were expected to do all those things, and more, while still looking glamorous and wearing heels!  Talk about multitasking!  So, here are my favorite images/illustrations of what life was like for those housewives – enjoy!

Cleaning:

Raising children:

Entertaining:

It all looks great, but somehow, I’m thinking the reality was something more like this:
