5 Top Heels From the Baby Boom Era

During the 1950's women used to have shoes that were smaller than the average heels for women today. 

I do have to say they did have great and creative patterns or shapes for people within the 50' era. 

1) 1950's pumps


These heels were the type that looked like ones that you wore to work or went for business meetings. They have a long shape especially in the front and were small in the heel department. 

It was meant for women not to be too tall but not to hurt your feet lots either. Most women in this time period got them in a shade of black.

2) 1951 strappy heels

I have to say these types of heels are so cute and adorable, I would have mistaken them for the Baby Doll pumps. They have straps that wrap around the ankle.

Some of these shoes can come without straps. What they all have in common was the small heel and you could get them with a variety of colors. 

3) Ankle Strap Wedges and Flat

These types of shoes look more like sandals without the heel at the bottom but with a strap at the ankle. Others look like our flats that we call today with a tiny heel. 

This type of shoes you could wear comfortably either around the house or just to grocery shop. These shoes are so cute with dresses and skirts.  

4) Baby Toes Shoes

The types of shoes I found were actual baby shoes which were cute but others for women were actual open toed footwear. These shoes are so adorable some of them have bows and straps at the front of the footwear.

They come in many colors but most of what I sought were red ones. Many women wore these shoes to parties or fancy clubs.

5) Baby Doll Pumps

I can see why women in the 1950's were so obsessed with Baby Doll pumps, they are so stylish! They do have an average heel to them. 

They come in many colors and are definitely what shoes look like in the 1960's. I imagine women wearing these shoes to the grocery store or a party during the 50's.

This a unique box of items that were worn in the 1950’s! I notice there is a pair of glasses and sunglasses. Along with three pairs of polka dot earrings and a silk scarf as well. At the left corner there is a black and white printed headband and a pair of gloves too. There is a total of eight items in this accessory box. My grandmother used to have many of these style of gloves in her closet. When she would show them to me as a child, she would smile so bright and tell me stories of how she got them.

Blue and Red Word Search Book

This is an awesome booklet for those who love the 50’s! It has many pages to keep your brain busy by searching for words with just your eyes. I noticed that is has yellow wording and an arrow indicating to open the book. The front page has labeled the 1950’s on it and the author has made sure to put their name on it. At the top right corner of the red/yellow square you see a star shape. My sister loves to do crossword puzzles and she has a collection of them in her closet. It reminds me of seeing her use them at her doctor’s visits.

Skintight White Lingerie for Those who Love the 50's

This is a sexy white lace lingerie piece for fifters! I notice that this type of clothing has a flower print and has an opening in the middle. This part is smooth and is without any substance on it. This piece has two straps on the side that are meant for tights and have metal at the top and bottom. The material is stretchy and is so adorable. My friend has lingerie clothing just like this one and when she wears this, she has a lot of confidence. She always tells me her boyfriend melts when she is in this piece.
